Hello everyone, thank you for responding already to this thread. I'm really excited to get rolling on this.
Thank you Itinkso,
http://kennythepirate.com/ is a great tool for Character hunting, I just wanted to get something on the Boards about about C&M due to all of the traffic that this website receives.
Another great App for C&Ms is the My Disney Experience App. I don't care how people feel about MyMagic+, the app is an amazing tool to help you in the park to save time and energy, which helps you SAVE MONEY!
Although I am posting about M&Gs, these are always subject to change. Sometimes weather, refurbishments, or management will change things up on you. So if you want to meet a specific Character, I always suggest refering to your map/
MDE app or one of the Blue Character Attendant Cast Memebers.
I'm first going to talk about the Magic Kingdom with the a list of Characters, location, times, outside or inside.
Magic Kingdom:
Townsquare/Main Street
Mickey Mouse Town Square Theater is where you can meet, 'talking' Mickey. This attraction is AMAZING and is a must see for every single person in the park. It can have a long line, but FP+ is avalible if need be.
Multiple CharactersWelcome show: Typically 15 mins prior to the park opening there is a little show on the Train Station that people can watch, if you love characters this a wonderful way to see them. All of the Character in the show leave to their respective M&G locations, so go find them! Outside
Pluto Town Square Theatre Right in the center by the flagpole. parkopening until 3pm. Outside location
Marie Town Square Theatre Right in the center by the flagpole. parkopening until 3pm. Outside location
Mary Poppins next to Town Hall (guest relations) on the left side of Town square. Check times guide. Outside location
Main St. residents Throughout the morning, great to interact and play with, no set location, just wandering the streets
Adventureland:
Jasmin and Aladdin Currently at the Adventureland bridge, they're typically in the shops by the Magic Carpet ride, but its under construction. Check Times guide. Outside Location.
Tinker Bell and Friends Tinker Bell's Magical Nook, located just before Dole Whip on the right. Tinker Bell is always there, but sometimes she'll have her little sister Perrywinkle or Terrence. Meeting All Day in an inside location
Frontierland:
Woody and Jessie Splash Mountain Exit Courtyard, right after the bathrooms. Typically all day. Outside Location.
Country Bears and Brer Rabbit and Fox This is actually called Hoedown and its located in front of the CBJ. Since the Parade is down for the next month or two, they do a fun show, typically 6 times a day. If your kids like shows, go to this, it reminds me of old Disney, when characters would just roam. Check Times Guides, Outside location
Chip and Dale Rivers of America Crossing, across from The Diamond Horseshoe. Typically in the Moring and Early Afternoon. Outside Location
Liberty Square:
Tiana and Naveen located at Tiana's Garden Glen, just behind the Ye Ol'Christmas Shop. Naveen isn't always there, but you can catch him every now and them. Check Times Guides, typically all day. Outside Location
Fantasyland:
Peter Pan and Wendy Darling Neverland Map located opposite to the Repunzel Bathrooms. Check Times Guides, typically in the moring and early Afternoon. Outside location
Princess Fairytale Hall This is where you can get your Princess fix. This is one of the new inside M&G areas. There are two lines, a Cinderella Line and a Repunzel Line, you can only choose one at a time. You meet two Princesses, Typically Snow White will be with Repunzel and Aurora will be with Cinderella, but it is always subject to change. These lines can be long, if you really want to meet them, getting a FASTPASS+ wouldn't hurt. All Day, Inside
Stepfamily These are Cinderella's Step Family, sometimes you can catch them riding the Carousel in the wee hours of the moring. They're located typically at the Castle Wall into the Fantasyland Forest (New Fantasyland) Best to just ask a Cast Member, only in the Mornings. Outside
Fairy Godmother Cinderella's Wishing well, the pathway towards Tomorrowland from Fantasyland. Check Times guides, only in the Morning, Outside location
Pooh and Tigger Thotful Spot, infront of the Winnie the Pooh Ride. All Day, Outside Location
Alice, White Rabbit, Madhatter Mad Tea Party Gardens, across from Cosmic Ray's by the Teacups. Alice and White Rabbit will always be there, but sometimes the Madhatter makes an apperence. Morning to early Afternoon. Outside Location
Merida On the pathway inbetween Fantasyland and Tomorrowland next to the castle. One of the bes M&G areas on property. Really fun for the entire family. It typically has a long line, and no FP+ so plan a good chunk of your time to do this. All day, Outside.
Fantasyland Forest (New Fantasyland)
Gaston In front of his Tavern. Morning to early afternoon, really fun meet and greet. Check Times Guide, Outside
Enchanted Tales with Belle This is an AMAZING attraction. The ride takes you through the story of Beauty and the Beast told by the guest, Wardrobe, Belle, and Lumiera. Really fun for the whole family. All day, inside
Ariel Ariel's Grotto located next to her attraction. Really fun and cool meet and greet. Can typically have a long line during peak times, you may want a FASTPASS+ for this. All day, Inside.
Story Book Circus:
Pete's Silly SideShow
Daisy and Minnie Located in the back corner of the Circus, All day inside location. Typically a small wait because it's so far in the back of the park. It's a really fun place, especially at night when it's slow.
Donald and Goofy Located in the back corner of the Circus, All day inside location. Typically a small wait because it's so far in the back of the park. It's a really fun place, especially at night when it's slow.

Buzz Lightyear By the exit of his ride and Carousel of Progress. All day, Outside.
Mr. & Mrs. Incredible and Frozone This is a Fun dance party that happens during the evening. The Characters do not sign or pose for pictures, but if you go up to them you can get some really cool action shots of the Characters. Mid-afternoon to Evening Outside.
Dining:
Crystal Palace:
Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet Wonderful place to grab breakfast. The characters are great and who doesn't want to give poor Eeyore a hug. Of course you have to be dining there to meet the Characters. All day Dining.
Cinderella's Royal Table:
Princess apalooza here Princesses are subject to change and vary from Cinderella, Snow White, Tiana, Ariel(leg form) Aurora, and Belle. Expensive dining and okay food. This place is only worth it for the atmosphere and the Princesses. All day, need reservation
Be Our Guest:
Belle and Beast This is technically not Character dining. The characters do not travel around to all the tables like the other restaruants. You have the option to have at M&G at the enterance of the restaruant. ONLY FOR DINNER not lunch. Need reservation.
Parades:
Move it, Shake it, Celebrate it: This is a wonderful parade that happens multiple times during the day. It starts in Town Square and moves to the Castle hub where it stops and has an interactive dance party. Characters do not sign or pose for pictures, but its a great time to get some action shots of everyone. Check you Times guide for Parade Times
Characters: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Chip and Dale, Baloo, King Louie, Woody, Jessie, Mr. Incredible, Frozone, Madhatter, Genie, Lumiera, and Sabastian
The Main Street Electrical Parade: Yes, I know this is an old parade and Spectro is so much better, but it is classic Disney parade and I love it. This is a full Parade that starts in Town Square and goes all the way to Frontierland. Great way to kill time before the Fireworks. If there are two showings of this parade, I suggest going to the second, the crowds are less intense.
Characters: Tinkerbell, Goofy, Minnie, Mickey, White Rabbit, Alice, Gus Gus, Jock, Perla, Suzie, Cinderella, Fairy Godmother, Prince Charming, Step Sisters, Court Dancers, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, Snow White and the 7 Dwarves, Pleasure Island Boys, Pinocchio, Pete, and Finale Girls.
Celebrate a Dream Come True: This Parade has been closed.
Festival of Fantasy: This is the new Parade that will be opening sometime in March(Rumors) that will feature many many many characters. This parade is going to be unbelieveable, I can't wait to see it.
That sums up the daily Characters at Magic Kingdom. Of course these are always subject to change at any moment. If you really want to see lot of Characters check out special events such as Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas. These events have tons of rare characters that you only get to meet during special times of the year.
Post if you have any questions. Thanks for reading and Have fun Character hunting!
