Character Updates

[Berlioz70]

thanks for the belle/beast info, everyone! berlioz, is belle (in yellow) always one of the princesses in the judges tent? tia

No characters are ever guaranteed. Typically the judge's tent has Belle (yellow), Cindy and Aurora.

 

[francie]

thank you. is it posted somewhere before you enter the judges tent which princesses are there?

Jasmine and Snow White have rare appearences there so I have heard, but mostly Belle Cindy and Aurora. I have been every trip and only ever seen them, but I know the some others are there very rarely.

Oh and I was curious Berloiz70, I was at the world in Epcot around the end of July, and while in there I went to go get a pic with my favorite Princess Snow White. I was lucky enough to catch the prince out with her! I got a pic and autograph from both of them.. I am pretty sure he is a very rare character, but have you ever met and or heard of him being out for a meet and greet? I have certainly never seen this before. Thanks!

He is certainly rare, but does make appearances. I would put him in the same category as the following characters, they are generally only out in shows/parades but are known to make random appearances:

Snow Prince
Prince Philip (appears at MNSSHP)
Prince Eric
Bert
Megara
Cruella (appears at MNSSHP)

Haha - oh, I'm there A LOT!!! Since I've been working on getting this website up to date I've been hitting the parks every Sat/Sun for the last two months. I'm closing on a house on Monday so my character hunting will slow down, but there are new (rare) characters coming out Sunday so I will HAVE to get them first!!

I'm also very excited for the new Princess and the Frog characters, as well as Terrance - all are already making appearances but I want to meet them once they get to their actual location (instead of in the random locations).

What's the scoop on Terrance? Will he be in Pixie Hollow by November 4???

Who's coming out on Sunday?

I'm not sure when Terrance is joining Pixie Hollow, but he is already making random appearances. I have a date with him in the Hollow on 24th and I'm pretty sure that is not his first date.

Is Tiana out in the parks yet? I know her show starts the 26th, but our last day is the 25th and my daughter really wants to meet her. Any chance?

Rumor is that she and the other Princess and the Frog characters are already appearing at the Tear Drop. I have not seen them personally so I can't say whether or not that is true, but hopefully so!!

 

[ARC]

What are the times now for the tear drop?

 

[Stefy]

Ooh looking forward to seeing your Princess & the Frog photos when you meet them

Who's coming out on Sunday?

I promise I wasn't ignoring these questions, I just wanted to confirm my information before posting it on-line... good thing I did! I had heard that Captain Barbossa and Lord Beckett would be out meeting people on Sunday and was super excited. I know Barbossa is in the parade and knew he could do meet and greets so I even got what I thought were their set times.

As it turns out (as rumors always turn out), the two men will just be visiting the parks as guests and dressing up for the party that night. I hear the costumes are amazing and easily look like the real thing, but alas, not quite as exciting as I had "heard."

What are the times now for the tear drop?

Unknown. It's trial and error.

Thanks for the info. I met Thumper once in 2005 or 2006 and it is one of my all time favorite character photos. I thrilled that I might see him ( and his lady) again. I also can't wait to meet Marie. I will be there solo Halloween weekend and over Thanksgiving with the family.

What is the Teardrop?

Just back from our trip 3 weeks ago. A CM told me that certain sidekick characters are not meeting anymore. I asked specifically about Mushu, Genie, and Dopey, none of which we found at World Showcase. She said they were needed elsewhere in the park or 'are not with us anymore'. Anyone have more info on these characters?

 

[dvcfamily41801]

Wow! Lots of great info! Love hearing about meeting new characters!

You are correct, those three characters do not have regular meet and greets anymore. The other character we lost from World Showcase was Eeyore in the UK, but we did gain Marie in France.

If you watch when characters go away you can usually assume new ones are coming out. In the case of Dopey and Mushu when we lost them we gained Daisy and Stitch at the front of the park. Unfortunately, I'm not sure who "replaced" Genie.

Luckily Eeyore still does M&G at DAK, the other three are now more random and they may pop up in the random locations - see my website for information on where those spots are.
