Best Organised Character Meet and Greet & Random Meet and Greet

[aliscrapper]

We saw them all over both the 2 parks we were there 5 days and saw 15 different characters We did see more but son didn't want photo with the princesses Lots at Hotel New York

Oh wow!!! Never seen that amount of characters - getting even more excited about our September trip if that is possible!

We're staying off site for the first time; but sounds like Hotel New York is definitely worth a visit in the morning. Thanks

That's great info! And these are all characters you've seen in those locations recently?

Regarding Toon Plaza...is there any certain time to watch there?
Same for the fantasy gate...do they just come and go at random, or around certain times.

I swear I'd die if I could see the 7 dwarves...not at all a common site in the States...I've never met a single one... same for the Dum's and Scrooge McDuck. I'll make it happen someday. Lol

I've just at that bit, as my daughter and I would too as we're huge Snow White fans. I agree with the character list, as we are fortunate to go a few times our second trip last August was really our 'lets chill out and just see what happens trip' and we saw the most characters ever! They really are everywhere but I think when you're hurrying about and queueing for rides all the time you just don't see them. Our favourite spot was by the gates at the side of it's a small world they were coming out really regular over the lunch time we were there. Scrooge Mc Duck was also standing all on his own outside storybook land, as was one of the dwarves (sadly time we got there he'd gone ). My mission this holiday is to meet Piglet my all time favourite that we've only ever seen on parades!

Most of them is saw in my last 2 trips. That's last week and in October
With the Fantasy gate and Toon Plaza, you just have to have some luck.
I was walking out of Animagique when i saw the Alice characters.

Although near the fantasy gate was always after 1 pm and before the parade.

Me too! I'm now 38 but as a child I wrote to Jim 'll Fix It to see if he could fix it for me to meet Snow White. DH even e mailed DLP last year to see if they could get me a meet with Snow White for my birthday; but sadly it was not to happen.

My mission this holiday is to meet Piglet my all time favourite that we've only ever seen on parades!

I saw Piglet on someone's trip report at the Sunday Brunch when it was the Enchanted Wood theme.

Aw that's a shame about snow white have you never met her? The best we've had was when they used to get off the cars at the stars and cars parade, my daughter was wearing her snow white dress but snow white didn't come over, we kept shouting and shouting and she just spotted us as she was getting back on the car and ran over made such a fuss of my daughter and later on the parade she spotted us again and shouted my daughters name and waved!. She came to my daughters birthday party too! (well maybe not THE one from Paris but she looked very like her lol). Good luck

Will report back if I meet piglet. Lol.

I haven't unfortunately - this will be my 8th trip to DLP and I've done WDW twice. How magical is it that Snow White added that little bit of pixie dust to your daughter's stay!

The first day of our honeymoon we met Pluto and DH and I were killing ourselves laughing at how Pluto was signing his autograph on the top of his nose. Pluto came towards us stamping his feet and hand on his hips - he wasn't impressed at us laughing at him! By this stage we are nearly on the floor with laughter! That was 2010 and DH and I still grin when we see Pluto!

Will report back if I meet piglet. Lol.

You never know your luck!! Have you got any trips planned???
