Character Meet and Greet locations?

[vickiea]

Does any one have a list of Character Meet and greet locations for Disneyland?

I know this has probably been on here so much but the search function is not working at all.

The only place I know of is Mickey's House/Tent thing, other than that I remember none from my last 2 visits (1999 and 1990).

Thanks

Vickie

Mickey - (DL) Main Street, Toontown, Parade (DCA) Hollywood backlot

Minnie - (DL) Main Street, Toontown, parade, Hollywood backlot

Pluto - (DL) Main Street, Toontown, (DCA) Hollywood backlot, (DLH) Goofys Kitchen

Goofy - (DL) Main Street, Toontown, (DCA) Hollywood Backlot, (DLH)Goofys kitchen

Max - (DCA) Hollywood Backlot

Jack Sparrow - (DL) New Pirates layer island

Hercules - (DCA) Hollywood Backlot *NOTE HE IS SEASONAL OCTOBERISH*

Woody & Jesse - (DL) Frontierland (DCA) Hollywood Backlot

Mater/Lightning Mcqueen - (DCA) Condor Flats across from Soarin over Cali

Mad Hatter & Alice in Wonderland (DL) Main Street, fantasyland, Parade (DLH) Goofy Kitchen

Fairy God Mother (DL) Fantasyland, Parade, Main Street (DCA) Hollywood backlot

Aladdin (DL) Aladdin's Oasis, Parade of dreams (DCA) Hollywood backlots Aladdin Musical (DLH) Goofy's Kitchen

Tweedle Dee/Dum (DL) Main Street beside Coke corner, usually found playing musical chairs with Alice and the Hatter as well as Mary Poppins & Bert

Marry Poppins & Burt (DL) Main Street and Fantasyland

Eeyore (DL) Critter country by Pooh Ride & Parade of Dreams

Tigger (DL) Critter Country by Pooh Ride & Parade of Dreams


The Princesses (Ariel, Cinderella, Aurora, Snow White, Jasmine, Mulan)

You can find these girls in several different places: (DL) Fantasyland at the Princess fantasy fair, the parade of dreams. *Apparently they dont do meet and greets by the castle any more but as for Ariel I dont know if she still comes out of her shell as she cant exactly walk in the Princess Fantasy Fair.

In DCA you can meet them at Ariels Grotto for Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner but be forwarned that Ariel is a HUMAN and in a dress so that can shock some little kids.

Disneyland Hotel at Goofy's Kitchen I saw Belle but she wasnt in the yellow gown, she was wearing her blue dress.

Jasmine is also in Aladdins Oasis

DCA Animation has so many characters on any given day. We would just swing in anytime we pass by just to see who's there. We've seen, Hercules, Cruella de Ville, all of the Princesses, the Incredibles, Sorcerer Mickey, Peter Pan, varous characters from the current movies- Abyy Mallard and Chicken Little, Bowler Hat Guy and Wilbur Robinson
Also, around Fantasyland- Guipetto and Pinochio, Peter and Wendy

I am wondering if anyone has seen Sulley or Mike from the Monsters Inc. movie recently? My Dd3 just watched the movie for the first time a couple of weeks ago and is now really wanting to see them on our trip in February. She'll be excited to ride the ride, but it would be super if she could actually meet them .

 

[Golfing Goofy]

mystic path, that is a GREAT list. Thanks so much. That is going to help me so much because my kids are really into getting autographs.

I just found this board and on our last trips we never know where to look, except for the obvious (toon town). The kids want to try to get EVERYONE'S autographs on our next trip. wish me luck.....

Sulley appeared over near the theater where Aladdin is in DCA. We usually see Mr and Mrs Incredible over there, but that day we saw Frozone as well, and Sulley appeared and engulfed DS in his arms.

I wanted to repeat the Pirates Lair suggestion for Jack Sparrow. He also has photopass photographers around, and they take TONS of pictures with the Jack interaction. My standard warning for Captain Jack...he's a pirate, acts like a pirate, and talks like a pirate. We watched him hand back an autograph book and turn his back on a family after the mom was rude to him, and the CMs with him won't do anything. Be nice, be patient, and have fun with Jack, because HE likes to have fun!

Yakety76, you are so lucky! Assuming all goes well, Monsters Inc will just be coming back from refurbishment (for AGES) before you get there. Lucky lucky.

 

[Yakety76]

Bumbershoot, thanks for the tip about Sulley. We didn't see Monsters, Inc. on the list of closed rides for February, so we are hoping it will be up and running. Dd would be seriously bummed if it were down!! That is the first ride she wants to do when we arrive. Cannot wait

This is a great idea Mystic! I added a few places you forgot to your list in bold. Here are some more:

Turk: Plaza Pavillion, Coke Corner

Baloo: Tiki Room

Merlin: Parade of Dreams, King Arthur Carrousel

I'm sure there's more, but I think we need to approach from location instead of the character.. We'll be going on forever...

Thanks for all the tips on where to find characters.

DD loves meeting new characters and getting autographs. She would be thrilled to meet Bert - we've never seen him out with Mary at WDW.

Personally, I'm looking forward to meeting Captain Jack!

The Monsters Inc ride is soooo cute! I love it! I was bummed it was closed when I was there in December. On another note I love your avatar. The dumbo costume is sooooo cute!!!!

According to the schedule I printed Monsters Inc comes out of refurbishment on Friday Feb 15th

Thank you. Dd was Dumbo 2 Halloweens ago. It is still her all time favorite Disney movie.

We have watched the Monsters Inc ride on Youtube and it looks great.

Wow, Jack Skellington, that would be awesome to see, anyone have a photo of him, how often does he come out??

Also what characters come out for the Christmas season, I have heard of Clarabelle and Clara Cluck being out for Santa's Reindeer Roundup, can anyone confirm this??

Clarabelle was at Minnie's Breakfast at the Plaza Inn when I was there in December.

Very cool!!! Was she all decked out in her Christmas clothes!!!

I would still love to see a photo of Jack Skellington if anyone has ever saw him.

If I remember correctly she was in Xmas garb but she didn't come to our side of the restaurant. I just saw her walk by into the back.
