Characters at Disneyland

[revwog1974]

There doesn't seem to be anybody tracking characters at Disneyland the way people do at Disneyworld. I've been searching all the threads everyone tells you to search a lot lately and here is my composite list based on that. This is not based on my experience, but is a composite of what I've found by searching the forums. I'm sure things are missing and since I've doing a historical search, I'm positive some of this is out of date and it seems to have more characters than it should.

Please suggest things you think I should add or subtract. Or even just give comments.

Most of the villains on this list are mostly seen at the Halloween party. Also, my understanding is that Daisy has traditionally been very rare at Disneyland.

Great list!

 

[Boiseboone]

We were there last week (June 3-8) and Lady Tremaine, Drizella and Anastasia were frequently seen walking between the side of the castle near Snow White's wishing well to the back of the Plaza Inn. They were occasionally accompanied by Cinderella, and while they didn't stop when walking between the two places they stopped at either end for pics and autographs.

 

[DharmaLou]

I've heard that Jack and Sally are around through the holidays due to the HM being decorated as his place.

Yep- We did a meet and greet with them along with Cinderella last week. They were great. As our train was pulling into the Toontown Train Station last week we also saw the Evil Queen (in Queen not Hag Form) meeting along with and next to Snow White in the PFF area.

We were there from Saturday to Wednesday, and the Queen of Hearts was doing meet and greets everyday in the town square area. We saw her on her own; near the White Rabbit, but with separate lines; and one day she was meeting and greeting together in a group with the White Rabbit and Alice. We saw her pretty much every day last year in June too, so I would say she definitely isn't just out in the Halloween season.

Where is the best place to find Max? I've seen pics of him at a character meal I think. Me and DS love him and watch A Goofy Movie all the time.

 

[tanyaewa]

I have seen Max near the Alladin Theatre in DCA. Walking from Tower of Terror area

We also saw Daisy Duck at the Surfs Up breakfast!

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

I spotted Max out right after you walk through the turnstiles (in front of the Mickey flowers) the 3rd week of May. That same week I also saw him at DCA in front of the Animation building.

 

[revwog1974]

I just edited to show that Lady Tremaine, Drizella and Anastasia are not just Halloween characters.

Now that The Redwood Creek Challenge Trail is themed to Russell and Dug are Kenai and Koda no longer seen in DCA?

Some people list Merlin as a Disneyland character. Was he a character that only came out as part of the Sword in the Stone ceremony and now that it's gone, he is too?

 

[CheshireGato]

I've heard that Jack and Sally are around through the holidays due to the HM being decorated as his place.

I will confirm this. They were outside of the HM

There will now be 20's-30's of the following Characters on Buena Vista Street:

These officially start June 15th; however, they have been spotted already.

Also, the following should now be added:

Lightnin' McQueen and Mater at Carsland
Henry, Big Al, Liver Lips and I forget the other guy's name from the Country Bears at the Festival Arena in Frontierland.

 

[Isatricia]

We saw Perla - one of the mice from Cinderella in April. Also, Aviator Goofy.

My understanding is that Lighting and Mater don't sign autographs, is that right?

 

[cmwade77]

That is correct, but they do pose for photos and possibly talk.

 

[Gisele]

There are truly many a character at the land but not all of them wear costumes or work for Disney.

~~ I love you Phil and you will forever be with me! Forever my very best and most special friend! I love you to no end. ~~​

We just went the first week of June and got very lucky with the characters. I will try to a complete list based off the kids' autograph books. I realize some of these are repeats/obvious finds - others were not.

*Big Thunder ? - right behind Big Thunder Ranch (we were eating at Big Thunder BBQ and saw them through the open gate, nobody stopped us from us going over there, although there were high school bands playing, so this may have been a special thing. All characters came out within a 20 min. period)

WHAT?!?!?!? The sword in the stone and the ceremony are gone?!?

In the name of all that is pixie dusted, why on earth would they stop doing that? That was one of my all time favorite things at DL. I am heartbroken.

It really has been a while since I've been there I guess. Man that is sad.

It is not guaranteed that he will be there, but he has been at Minnie's breakfast every time we have done it.
