Character question

[~dancingprincess~]

we're leaving for WDW in 15 days (!!!) - won't be a long trip, so we don't want to spend the whole time tracking down characters, but we do have a few that we'd really like to see - any tips?
Sorceror Mickey - Is he still on Mickey Ave at MGM? Pretty much all day, or only during limited times?
Prince Charming - Is it pretty easy to find him after the castle show? We're not doing any character meals, so I'm thinking this is probably our best shot.
Mushu - I've heard he's at Animal Kingdom. Is he on the Times Guide?
Mike and Sulley - MGM, I know. Are they there often?

Also, I've never done the whole Toontown thing and it has me really confused. Could someone please explain the whole lines/groups thing? One line for several characters? Are the characters announced somewhere? I'm just not following .
Thanks!!

Sorcerer Mickey should still be out at MGM unless they put him in a Christmas outfit this year I don't think they will though since they didn't last year.

Prince Charming is in the Cinderella's Suprise Celebration Show, but does not do any meet-and-greets afterwards. Unfortunatly, he's been almost excusivly at character meals which personally I think is not fair, but that's another story. You may catch him at Toontown hall of Fame with Cinderella or many at the Expo Hall around 11am or noon, but even those are only random appearences now.

Mushu I haven't seen at AK lately. He was at the Oasis for a while on a regular basis, but I'm not sure if he's there anymore. The Oasis characters are not listed on the time guide, so you'll have to as a CM or check http://pages.prodigy.net/stevesoares/ for the times (the current times are 9:15am-6:00pm ),

Mike and Sully are pretty regular. Their times are also not listed on the times guide, but usually are listed in a sign next to their location (near the Commisary behind the Sounds Dangerous building).

As for Toontown, there are three lines each of which goes to a different room. Inside each of the three rooms are three or so characters. Usually one is Minnie, Chip, and Dale, another is Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore, and another is Cinderella and her mice friends Suzy and Perla. There may be more characters in the room than this, but there could also be less. Be sure to ask the Cast Member when you go in what characters are in which room. Either that or you could try to figure it out from the somewhat vague signs at the begining of each line (I believe it's Mickey's Pals, 100 Acre Friends, and Fairy Tale Friends, or something similar). After you have met the characters in one room, if you wish to see the characters in another room, you must get back in the line for that room and wait in that one to get into that room.

Hope that helps you out.
