Character Updates

[thesaurinis]

We where just there 9/23-9/29 and didn't see Thumper & Miss Bunny. We did see the bears u are talking about. And for Peter Pan we saw him WITH Wendy right at POTC exit. It was a great surprise to see the 2 together.

Cool info!

I'm sad to hear Hook and Smee aren't out. I had a blast on our last trip with Hook. DDs (8,5 and 2 at the time) DW and I were walking through adventureland and saw the two of them. I asked the girls what would happen if I called Hook a 'cod fish'. They laughed, so I yelled out really loud "Hey Hook, you're a COD FISH!". He actaully ran out of the meet and greet area!
I was pushing the younger girls in a double stroller, and I took of running with them. He chased us a little ways before turning around. The girls loved it. I hope maybe he's back out before we go next year.

Are there any places where villains are normally out? We've tried to get Creulla's autograph previous times and never could find her. On our first trip, our oldest daughter (3 at the time) was enamored with 101 Dalmatians, and wanted to find Cruella so she could "throw a pie in her face" (her words). She'll be 11 for the next trip and I would love to get the two of them together!

The changes occurred on Oct. 4th, after your trip.

I'm sad to hear Hook and Smee aren't out.

I caught Hook and Smee yesterday at the animation building, and they still do meet and greets for the Pirates and Pals cruise:

Cruella no longer does regular meet and greets, but you can see her at MNSSHP:

So happy to hear of new character greetings! A few questions:

- Where is White Rabbit and when - is it where Alice usually goes or the tweedles when they used to be out?
- Is Smee anywhere? I wanted to see his new look. Funny they would move him out after giving him a makeover so recently.
-Who is Miss Bunny?
-Are Thumper and the Bunny out at certain times?
-Is Marie out every day generally?
-Are the UP characters going to be out for a while? We will be there in 10 days!
-Who's been showing up at Animation lately? Is there still another set at 5:30?

Any other new characters around?

-Who is Miss Bunny?

Thumpers Girlfriend.

-Are Thumper and the Bunny out at certain times?

They come out for 30 then usually go in for 30. But if you take pictures with the other Camp M/M characters you will catch them!

-Is Marie out every day generally?

Yes.

-Are the UP characters going to be out for a while? We will be there in 10 days!

Until at least January.

-Who's been showing up at Animation lately? Is there still another set at 5:30?

The sets are usually 4:50 and 5:20.

Yesterday: Jafar, Aladdin, Genie, Poca, Meeko, Pluto, Minnie, Goofy, Chip, Dale, Stitch, Pooh, Tigger, Snow Queen, Hook, Smee, Pinoc and Gepehtto.

It took me awhile - but I FINALLY met Marie at her new location!!

The shadows make the picture look weird so I'll have to try again later.

I've also added Marie to my website: http://sites.google.com/site/wdwcharacterhunt/home/canon/aristocats

My mind is drawing a blank...I don't remember how will I know what times the characters are out...is it on the map?

Also, are there any must see or rare characters out druing the MVCP?

 

[Goin2Disney2006]

Another question...are there any characters from Phineas & Ferb?

I can't seem to find out if this happens everyday, or only on Fantasmic nights? Just wondered if it's only because they're getting ready for F!

In all the times we have been to DisneyWorld we have never seen Thumper or Miss Bunny. Thumper is my absolute favorite character!! I do so hope they will be there in August of 2010 on our next vacation!

Some of the characters are listed on the Times Guide when you enter the park listing when they will be out. In most cases characters are out for the "regular" day (9-6) if they meet outside. If they meet inside then they may have extended hours (Character Spot, Animation Building, Judge's Tent, etc.). There are are a handful of locations that have more characters in the morning, then they go away early afternoon (Town Square, Big Hat).

Another question...are there any characters from Phineas & Ferb?

Afraid not.

The sets in animation happen everyday. On Fant days they only seem to stay there for an hour, but I do not know how long they are there for non-Fant days. I was there yesterday (non-Fant) and the first group came out at 4:50, the second at 5:20, then the first returned again at 5:50, I left shortly after that.

In all the times we have been to DisneyWorld we have never seen Thumper or Miss Bunny. Thumper is my absolute favorite character!! I do so hope they will be there in August of 2010 on our next vacation!

They are brand new! They've been a big hit in Tokyo so I guess they decided to bring them over to us. If they do well I bet they'll still be here in August - they'll be out at least through spring 2010. I was there on the first day and there was NO LINE, but that may be just because no one knew they were there yet?

 

[Shubunk]

Thanks for the info. Hopefully they will be out in December.

She was in her blue with apron but Beast was with her.

 

[MissyDVC]

Thank you so much for the Marie info! I will keep checking back as we get closer to our February trip and hopefully my DD will finally get to met her

 

[PiperGirlInWondrland]

WOW, we just left on 10/4 I would have LOVED to get a pic with Thumper and Miss Bunny!!! Hopefully they are still there on our next trip. We DID pick up a new one for us though, look who we found inside the entrance to Star Tours, it was awesome!

Belle and Beast do a rotation - I happened to meet both individually, but they also meet together if your timing is right!

We saw them all on a non F night a couple of weeks ago. I was initially told they only do it on NON F nights to make up for not seeing them in the show..... who knows..... but I do know there was no F that night.

Belle is only in her blue out in France. She is in yellow inside Akershur restaurant.

She meets by herself some of the time in France, and sometimes with the Beast. Occasionally the Beast won't be there at all. When we were there a couple of weeks ago, I kind of felt sorry for Belle. There was a line, and Belle was there, but everyone was waiting until the Beast came out. It's a great group photo op!

 

[francie]

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