Bre'r Rabbit

[Wade Shrader]

Has anyone seen Bre'r Rabbit stuff at WDW? My DS LOVES him! I've seen a "beannie baby" type stuffed animal of him on Ebay, and I was wondering if anyone has seen that at WDW recently?

Thanks in advance!
Wade

We got a tall stuffed Brer Rabbit in that little gift shop at the back of the attraction a few years ago. The shop was still there this past July.

There's a gift shop at the exit to the ride (next to the on-ride photo pick-up) that usually has lots of Brer merchendise.

There was Brer Rabbit merchandise in the shop outside of Splash Mt last week when we were there.We also saw the character Brer Rabbit on the riverboat at MNSSHP.

Was any of the other Brer's there with him? If Brer Fox was there, I will scream since I been looking for him for a long time! I was at two MNSSHP's (Oct 3 and 5) and I didn't have time to do the riverboat! I will kick myself to think I just missed him!


As for merchandise, the store where you get the Splash Mountain photos has some, but not much actually. There are about two kind of t-shirts with Brer Rabbit, and the gray beanie dolls, with beanies of Brer Bear, Fox, and Frog too. My nephew loves the Brer's too.

As for seeing Brer Rabbit in the parks, I saw him in January at Camp Minnie Mickey at Animal Kingdom. Also, last year I saw him outside the Splash Mountain store exit, near where the restrooms and a pin trading wagon are. He is also in Mickey's Jungle Jamming Parade at Animal Kingdom. Hope you find him!

Nope, you didn't miss him. Brer Fox still isn't doing greets in the parks and, unfortunatly, it's looking like he won't be returning- possibly ever. He was supose to get a face lift but insteed, (acording to CMs) he was just basically quietly retired from the parks.

Thanks, Meeko!! I guess I'll take Brer Fox off my "list of characters to find". Only time I ever saw him was the Main Street Electrical parade back in 2001. Too bad he is not still at the parks, as my family loves all the Brer's.

That's too bad about Bre'r Fox. We did see him (and Bre'r Bear and Rabbit) at Camp Minnie in AK last Spring (May 2002).

I guess he's been retired since then? Has anybody else seen him recently?

Whatt??? You saw Brer Fox??? Geesh, I was also at WDW in May of 2002, but didn't spend much time at AK on that trip! To think I could have found him! Oh well!

Gee, I didn't know what a rare find we had then, finding Bre'r Fox. We thought it was great seeing them all three together, but we didn't realize how great it was!

All 3 of my kids got his autograph, and we'll have to cherish it! We've got some great pictures, and we've even got it on videotape, with my little boy going up to Bre'r Bear and Fox saying, "please don't throw me into the briar patch!"

It was a wonderful piece of Disney magic...I'm going to have to go home tonight and watch that video again!

Also check the gift shops at the Fort Wilderness Lodge/Campground. When we went to the buffet for dinner one night, there were all sorts of "Bre'r Goodies" including shirts!
