Character Tip

[emma'smom]

Here is our best WDW tip:

If you are into meeting characters, go to the Character Connection at Epcot right at the 9am rope drop. Everyone runs towards the Land to do Soarin' and they all run right past the character connection. We had little ones and decided that meeting characters would be more fun for the kids. We were the only ones there and dd3 was able to spend 5-10 minutes with each character. They signed her autograph book with personalized greetings and we were able to take many, many pictures. They actually gave us a signed certificate because we were teh first family that day.

Also, we wandered around the World Showcase and bumped into princesses all along the way with very short lines. We saw Jasmine, Bell, and Aurora in a matter of 15 minutes.

For characters outside of character meals, Epcot is the hidden secret!

If you go into EPCOT, walk past spaceship earth to the right hand side, you will see the big fountain in the center. On the right you will see the The Fountain View Bakery. You can enter Character Connection from a doorway next to Fountain View. There is a pretty large sign sitting near the entrance, I don't think you will miss it if you are looking for it!

It is a fabulous place for a meet and greet, Very organized. I have never seen it busy (but I have not been there on extremely busy days in recent months). The photos are awesome from their as their is a very nice background. We saw Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Donald, Chip and Dale, and Gepetto was in the hallway.

We were just in Disney in early March. We went to the Character Connection (thanks to reading the boards here) and I was pleasantly surprised. We went in the middle of the day and there weren't ANY lines. I highly recommend checking out the Character Connection to anyone who goes to Epcot! I just wish they'd mix up the characters a little more and not have just Mickey, Donald, Goofy & Pluto again.

This is right where we found them! If you head towards Soarin' and The Land, you'll pass it on your left hand side almost after your cross over the rope drop. It is amazing how slow it is...We saw Pluto outside drumming up business latter than day.

Wher did you see the Princesses in Epcot WS? My dd loves princesses nut I don't want to eat Princess storybook becuase we are having breakfast at Cindy's, and PSB lunch or dinner sound disgusting but DD wants to see alot of princesses that are there. If we could find them at the park even better.

Different Princesses - different countries - we have not gone "hunting for them in EPCOT" - we did the PSB breakfast, and got some at MK in the Hall of Fame tent in Toontown (good place for three Princesses in one place!0. We do need to hunt down Mulan in China and Ariel at MK in her Grotto.

Mulan - China
Belle - France
Snow White - Germany
Jasmine - Morroco
Pooh characters - England

Here is a link to a list at another Disney site - It does not appear to have been updated since 2004, so some info maybe outdate.

We don't need to hunt down princesses. I quoted the wrong person because another post said they seen the characters in Epcot WS without even trying. We like Cinderella oyal table better , we have tried both. DD just loves Aerial, Mulan and Jasmine which are not at CRT. Thanks for your reply. At PSB was Aerial at the breakfast?

Aerial is sometimes at the PBS breakfast - we did not see her - we had Belle (yellow dress) Mary Poppins, Snow White, Princess Aurora and Jasmine.

I believe Mulan is sometines there as well.
