We were only looking for 10 characters this trip, and we were traveling with people who would not be patient enough for us to do much looking.
3 Cabelleros - First day in Epcot, we missed them by 5 minutes on the only time we were able to try. Went back another day & found Jose & Donald, but Panchito wasnot appearing that day. We had a little girl run up to Donald while it was DD's turn. No big deal, but it turned into one. The mother ran up & started taking pictures. The CM jumped in front of her to block her from taking pictures & told her there was a line (which maybe had 6 families in it). The lady said "She's already there, so I'm taking my turn now". The CM went over to her & they exchanged words, and the lady stomped off, dragging the little girl.
Snow Prince, Scrooge, Bert, and Belle in Christmas dress - we found all at MVMCP, but the day we had tickets for was rainy (12/14), and they weren't out (unless they were in Toontown). We wouldn't have gotten them, but a very kind DISer had to cancel her trip & sent me tickets for the 12/12 party, so we got them all that day.
Clarice - still no Clarice.
I asked several times on 12/11, but was told that she wasn't appearing that day. Same thing happened on the 2 days we tried back in Sept/Oct. We have a trip planned for next fall, but as of now, it doesn't include a day at MGM.
Figment - we already had a picture, but didn't have the stamp. First 2 days at Epcot, we missed him. Wasn't planning a 3rd day, but ended up going in for a few hours & found him.
Rabbit - We've been trying for 3 years.
If we had been alone, we would have speant alot of time tracking him down, but it just wasn't possible. My Dad wanted to see HISTA, so on our last day 12/15, late afternoon (I'm guessing around 4:30) we headed over there. On 12/11, around the same time, I saw characters over to the right of Journey into the Imagination - Mr. Smee, Rafiki, Big Al, Minnie, Mickey. I glanced over this time, and saw RABBIT! Way in the back. Went over and got in line, and the CM said they were going in in 4 minutes. We got him though. I can't tell you who else was out that day, except Wendell, because he came over & tried to pull DD out of Rabbit's line so she could see him instead. I nicely told him that we'd already seen him, and pulled DD back in line. 
8 out of 10 is pretty good, but I wish we'd gotten Clarice.

I heard briefly about this spot around Imagination pavillion being used for characters sometime last year, but not recently. I never seen anyone but Figment in that area! And what a great find when you met Rabbit there! 
Now the big question is - is this area being used instead of the American Adventure, or in addition to? Hmmmm, the little character mysteries of Disney World!
