Can you meet Mary Poppins anywhere in the park?

[corinne76]

DD is obsessed with the movie. I know she's in the parade, but can you meet Mary Poppins and Bert anywhere in the park?

Thanks!

We saw her on Main Street. A lot of characters aren't advertised they just seem to show up. Out front by the flroal Mickey we saw Cruella, Ariel, Belle all at various times.

 

[corinne76]

oh boo. So it's sort of a hit or miss thing huh? Does she show up at any of the character restaurants?

I'll admit to rarely spending time on Main Street. Except for the occasional stop at the Candy store

We saw her in a character meet and greet are behind a shop in the United Kingdom in Epcot along with Alice, Pooh and Tigger.

I think we saw her during both our previous trips. But just random encounters. You really never know who you are going to meet out there... I love it!

As others have said, Mary Poppins and Bert do meet guests, but they don't have a fixed location or time. I've seen them near Coke Corner a few times recently. I also saw them walking through Fantasyland last week, so I do think it's random luck.

Thanks everyone! I guess we're just going to have to keep our eyes open and hope for the best.

Last trip we sent most of our time in FL and TL, since the kids were both fairly young. I'm hoping to do more TS meals or at least some counter (I think all we hit was Hungry Bear and it was more of necessity than want. It was closest and I was getting hangry! I don't do well when I'm hungry) Hopefully we can spend more time on Main Street

That would have been at WDW. OP is asking about DLR.

OP...... stop into City Hall, or ask any CM with a phone to call the character hotline. They can tell you exactly when and where Mary will appear that day. We met them at Coke Corner on our December trip last year. We had asked where they would be and they showed up right on schedule.

Also do not miss the little performance they give in front of the castle in the early afternoon. It should be on the daily schedule. It's a song and dance thing.

It's much easier and quicker to ask at the information stand at "the top left" of Main Street. It's not far from Refreshment Corner. (Almost everyone thinks that the brand name is official). That is one place where they do meet 'n greets. Otherwise, look for them in Town Square. Less often, they will do a meet 'n greet in Fantasyland - to the left of the Matterhorn is one spot. They sometimes just take a stroll around Fantasyland.

Not asked, but there is never a Photopass photographer at their meet 'n greets.

"Their show" is with the Pearly Band in the castle forecourt - described elsewhere. They sometimes appear in the entrance show.

thanks! I did not know we could ask when characters would appear. how cool!

What is this performance you speak of? Seriously, last year was my first trip since I was 15. And the first trip with the kids. we spent a lot of time in FL (naturally) and on Autopia for my car-loving toddler.

I also saw Mary and Bert at Coke Corner about 3 weeks ago. They were standing in the seating area, near the entrance.

 

[CaptBane]

I saw them around Plaza Inn. They may have been coming or going Im not sure

Here's a snippet of their show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U35J3QFhE-o

If you really want to see them, it's only a few minutes to ask where you can see them in the park. I agree with Perlster about where to find them. City Hall can get quite the line.

You can thank Julie Andrews for that...

We saw them both on Main Street a few times this past Tuesday. We got pictures with them even though the kids have never seen the movie and was clueless who they were

 

[corinne76]

I know I've said we don't normally stay on Main street, but now that I think about it, I've never actually seen them in the park. Is that cause I've always been there in June? Like higher crowd times? Next year we're thinking of going the first week of October so hopefully we can see more characters.

We ran into them in a little more off-the-beaten path location. My daughter has a medical need that requires that we visit First Aid several times a day. On at least two separate occasions, Mary Poppins and Bert have come in while we were there to cheer up the kids getting medical attention.

Also, it's worth noting if you are going during Christmas season they are not actually in the parade...
