Are there any non fantasmic nights 12/20-29?

 

[disneyfan2]

UGHHHH! That's us too! We get there the 13th and leave the 19th. We'll be at the MVMCP on the 18th. Darn!

me too. but does anyone know if they will not be there for sure. I think that if they have it everynight, there might be a night still that they come out?

Got back from Disney Monday, and met 14 new-for-us characters! I think our total was 47 characters, 34 unique ones (met a lot more than once, in different outfits), and that's with us missing 2 planned character breakfasts (once because we were really sick, the other was at Universal & we ended up not going there because of the forecast...which ended up being wrong, lol.)

The best character day was when we were at Animal Kingdom. It was raining (and pretty heavy at times) so we just hung around Camp Mickey Minnie. First we met Mickey, then Minnie. Then Minnie left, and Thumper & Ms Bunny took her place. Then we met Donald & Goofy together. Then we saw Chip & Dale with Pocahontas, but while we were 2 people away, she left, so we only got pics with Chip & Dale. Then we heard Mickey & Minnie were together (how exciting!) and got in that line. It was long, but worth it! (We were also in front of another adult who loves meeting characters, so that was a fun chat!) Then we saw Pocahontas was back with Chip & Dale (and virtually no line!) so I went back and met them all together. All of these characters except Thumper, Bunny, and Pocahontas were in Christmas gear, of course! Later we met Pooh, Eeyore, and Tigger in their Christmas gear (there was hardly any line in their section, either) before finally stopping character meeting to grab a spot for the parade.

Berlioz70-Just wanted to thank you for your site While I was away, I double checked it to make sure I was getting everyone I wanted at the Christmas party. I'm starting to get a lot of pics with the same characters, I think next trip I may use your tip about special poses!

I will be going on my Disney trip in Feb & would like to know which characters will be around at that time?

 

[Simba22]

OMG I'm sooo excited about Thumper! I hope he's still out come October when I get to go back!

 

[Loopner]

Thank you for this thread! I'm also a "character junkie".

I hope Carl, Russell and Dug are still in the Animation Studio - can anyone confirm?

Characters are on two schedules a year. Oct-April and May-Sept. We are still currently on the October schedule and will remain so in February. My website is current with character offerings/schedules.

They are! They were technically only scheduled through Jan - but I have not heard of them pulling them out yet so I assume they will be out longer.


For anyone who doesn't follow my site... Prince Caspian is on his last week and Daisy will start making more regular appearances at the Big Hat starting next week.

I never knew this. Thanks for the info!

Thank you! I just told my boys this news and got cheers in response! Doesn't get any better than that!

I will be looking for Daisy in DHS, then!

Great - trading a unique character for a regular.

Br'er Bear and Rabbit are out pretty commonly at DAK or the MK Hoedown. The only time I have ever seen Br'er Fox was at MVMCP.

Brer Fox is common only Sunday breakfast at the covington mill at the hilton resort.

 

[southernbelle5672]

I saw Brer Fox in the World Showcase Wednesday at Epcot. It was near America. I don't know if he appeared because it is SO cold in Orlando this week!

If there are any characters meeting in AA in World Showcase, that is a special meeting location for characters (you never know who you will find there, or even if/when any will be out).

Great - trading a unique character for a regular.

Caspian has been out too long as it is. Disney does not own the rights to the Narnia movies anymore (they will not be producing Voyage of the Dawn Treader).

I never knew that! How helpful. I will have to start looking in early May for the lists for our next trip. BTW stumbled across your site a trip or three back and just love it. Great info!

I agree with Joanna, he hardly has a line and most people do not care/know who is in. Since Disney announced last Spring that it's not making the third movie I'm surprised he lasted this long. I'm just waiting until they do away with the attraction so we can have something worth while in that location.

Thank you, I'm glad people find it useful; I try to update it with something new each week!!!

I know, but at least it was more unique character. It would have been great if they replaced him with someone that isn't quite as regular as Daisy though.
