They should tie Brother Bear in with Country Bear Jamboree or put the characters around that attraction. But then again that would make too much sense so they won't do that.
Saw Koda Saturday at EPCOT with the Character Bus, and just missed him, much to my DD's disappointment. We asked a CM where he would be later that day - she called and said Japan! ? We were park hopping to MGM (just Future World that day), so never tested that. She really wants to see him - we go to EPCOT WS this Saturday, and AK the next Saturday. Here's hoping
Definitely in Canada at Epcot. Climb the stairs to the highest level in the pavilion, they are often up there. I'm sure you can ask first to save the steps.
My kids also saw Koda last week on the character bus in EPCOT. Had their pics taken with him at the front of WS. They were very excited!
Their were LOTS of characters with very little crowds. While they were discussing which characters to see, King Louie came up behind me & grabbed my leg! My kids had seen him coming & didn't tell! Surprised me & the kids got a BIG laugh out of it.
In March we seen them when we were leaving AK, they were outside the entrance. It was a bearfest!! The had Baloo, then they had 2 Country Bear Jamboree bears, then they had the 2 Brother Bear's.
We asked at Canada about Koda and were told that he only does the character bus now. That was late March. Didn't get a chance to go to AK but heard about sightings there at Camp Mickey Minnie.
