So what exactly is characterpalooza???

It's an informal/unstructured meet and greet with some of the Fantasmic characters. Best described by Kenny the Pirate:

Characterpolooza was awesome today! Only about 5 families "actively waiting" aka pretending nothing was going on as to not draw attention to the area. More people joined after the area opened, but it was still so quiet. We met genie, tiana. Jasmine, Mary and bert, Mulan, Pocahontas, and geppetto in just under 20 minutes.
I've been trying for years! Thanks Disers for keeping the info updated!

Will there be characterpalooza in January? I don't see it on Kenny's site

 

[Itinkso]

Check Kenny's January 2015 Crowd Calendar - Palooza is listed there.

I just wanted to report back on today's Charaterpalooza. I didn't understand that the gates opened LOL. When they did we saw Geppetto, the Evil Queen, Jasmine, the Genie, Tiana, Minnie and Mulan. It was *great*!

We saw characterpalooza last Wednesday. There were about 50 other people waiting. Some people happened upon it. We saw Stitch, Pocahantas and Meeko, Rafiki, the Evil Queen, the Genie, Pluto. The Evil Queen and Genie drew the larger crowds so we had to choose one. No one was in like for Stitch, Pluto or Rafiki. They lined the path... really awesome experience.

For anyone who has met Bert and Mary at Characterpalooza, do they meet together? I am dying to meet Bert and would love them together! We finally did Characterpalooza twice in Aug. Mary was there once but no Bert

DH and I are going for our anniversary in March and I told him I want to do it again - he's not so keen on that since we won't have the kids with us, but I think I can talk him into it

Mary and Bert meet together as a couple. Sometimes a Penguin will be paired with Mary. I don't think Bert ever comes out for Palooza alone but Mary can come out alone.

 

[Angel Ariel]

We saw Mary and Bert meeting together for Characterpalooza in November.

Thank you Itinkso and Angel Ariel As I said we did see Mary at Palooza in Aug. and we also saw two of her penguins together which my kids loved. Hopefully I'll catch Bert and Mary in March

Where is characterpalooza??

 

[hiroMYhero]

I've read through this thread and I think it's near the Tower of Terror exit. Pretty sure it's Palooza not Palooka .

 

[iluvwdw4ever]

And what time?

 

[Itinkso]

See Post #44 and check Kenny the Pirate's Crowd Calendar. He has the best resources and keeps his Calendars up-to-date.

Does anyone know if this is happening this week, with three fantasmics?

 

[Itinkso]

It's not on Kenny's crowd calendar. With 3 shows each night, the CMs are coming in for "show"-only.

Are there photopass at the palooza?
