Is there a way to find out where characters are and what times they are meeting for? I thought you could look at My Disney Experience, but I'm not finding future times, possibly just the times that they are meeting at that moment. I'm looking for Pooh, Captain Hook, and Donald duck times throughout the day.
 
Pooh meets near his ride in MK and in UK pavilion in Epcot. Donald’s in Mexico in Epcot and Pete’s silly side show in MK. Used to be in Dinoland, not sure where he’s at now in Ak. Not sure about Hook, but he’s in the parade. Times should be in MDE. Search the characters names

This is spot on!

Thank you both. Looks like I just needed to search further on MDE.

I am really hoping to find Smee, but I know he is usually with Captain Hook. Hoping I get to see them in MK, not just in the parade.

Frustratingly, the times that show on the app (go to the map, filter by character, change to Show List) are only for meets that have not started yet that day. So, if it's 2pm and you think to go look, the morning times are already wiped out. Take a look with your first cup of coffee and you'll get a sense of the full schedule for a typical day.

You got good info above about meeting folks. The only time I saw Smee in WDW was at a Characterpalooza in Epcot: they aren't scheduled, random characters all arrive at once, it's apparently CM training.

THIS!!! I thought there was a way to see where the characters were on MDE but couldn't figure it out. It may not give the times but at least I know where to go! Thanks.

Yes, I agree lots of good character info. I saw a recent picture of Smee walking around MK, but I guess roaming characters are part of some special "Kids Summer" that they are doing right now.

I don't recall ever seeing Smee or Captain Hook in the parks, but maybe someone else has seen them.
UGH, I'm guessing they no longer meet in the parks on a regular basis. I have a picture of our family with both of them, but it's about 15 years old.
 
I met Smee at Wilderness Lodge a few years ago when the characters randomly came out. Not sure if that happens at a certain time/day or if Smee is still part of that.
