Character questions

[tony609]

Goofy's Sky School!I know it's closed Beginning of May-May 17. BUT what exactly is this? Is this where you can meet Pilot Goofy and Avaitor Minnie. I have seen there pics on the internet. Can you even still meet htese character?

Also the "Dance" stage shhow at DCA..I have no idea what it is called. Can you still meet Mickey before/after?? Not sure when you are able to met him.

Thanks. We are heading down late May and would like to see these characters if possible.

I have seen pilot goofy at goods sky school. Sky school is actually a ride, like the mousetrap type ride, fast little cars that
Ale you feel like you are going over the edge. Aviator Minnie can be seen doing a little performance across from soarin over California, and she then goes to a plane near grizzly river and soarin trail where you can take pictures. Not quite sure what dance show you are referring too.

Goofy's Sky School is a ride. Sorry we haven't rode it in a while so I don't have much info on it. We're just waiting for my DS to reach the height requirement and I'm sure we'll be back on it soon. We met Pilot Goofy next to this ride on our last trip in March. That's Goofy's Sky School's line behind us.

Aviator Minne was met over near Soarin'. She has a little show and you can meet her after it. When we were there the show wasn't happening but the meet and greet was.

If Minnie's Flygirls aren't doing a show, then Minnie will be doing meet and greets by the plane instead of at the stage. Keep on the lookout for a Photopass photographer there who might just be waiting for Minnie to come out for pictures. Chances are, people won't be lined up to take pictures with Minnie yet and you could be one of the first in line if you ask about it. DBF and I were just about to leave DCA when we saw a photopass photographer. We jump at the chance of taking photos, so we asked her if she could take our picture by the plane. We also asked if Minnie would be coming out for pictures and she said that she was actually waiting for her right now. There was another person ahead of us, already waiting under the umbrella by the plane, but had been waiting for 20 min so the kid was getting cranky. Minnie came out probably within the next 3 minutes and we were second in line.

We have yet to see Pilot Goofy, but I hear no one else has seen him outside of the area in front of his sky school. I haven't found any character CMs to be very helpful in finding individual characters besides the ones they are personally in charge of.

Mickey, I also don't know about.

Have a great time!

I think the Minnie out with the show is now Pilot Minnie (with a hat), not Aviator Minnie. Still very cute.

I'm not sure if the old Aviator Minnie (with the goggles) is out for meet-and-greets if the show isn't going on.

We saw Aviator Minnie on a day the show was not going on and she was in front of the stage. It could depend on the day and the photographer on where she is. The pictures I posted are from our trip on March 1, 2012.

Just know to keep your eyes out for a photopass photographer and they can help you.

I've always had luck asking at the information booth about when a certain character will be out and where they will be. Last time we were on a mission to meet Buzz and Jake. Maybe I should find out on our next trip in 2 short weeks if Mickey does meet and greets cuz we haven't seen him in Calif Adventure for a while and I think that maybe something my kids would enjoy now that they like to meet the characters.

The last 2 summers we have seen him switching out with Aviator/Pilor Minnie next to Soarin. Last summer we traded with some people in line for timing, because DD wanted Minnie and their boys wanted Goofy. That was shortly before Goofy's Sky School opened though, so now that it is open, I'm guessing he might not appear by Soarin at all anymore, and has a permanent spot by his ride? Maybe there is still a possibility that they will bring him out at Soarin right now with Sky School closed for rehab? I agree checking with Guest Services they day you are there is probably your best bet of finding him.
