Hi, All.

I've noticed on Steve Soares' site that he only lists character appearances at Magic Kingdom in Town Square till 1pm or so and doesn't list character appearances in front of the hat in MGM at all anymore. Have the characters stopped doing appearances at the MGM hat and in Town Square after early afternoon? If so, I will be very disappointed since I will be there solo in a few weeks and wanted to try to see a lot of characters.
 
They still do character meetings in front of the Sorcerer's hat to my knowledge. I think Steve lists regularly scheduled meet-n-greets only.
 
There used to also be a character van in Epcot. But Im not not if /when it happens. I saw it once by the World Showcase and then another time it was right past the Leave a Legacy boards.
 
There is still a character bus at Epcot. You can still find it at the base of the World Showcase. I am not sure what times though!
 

The MK has characters in Town Square throughout the day. We've seen them there at all different times of the day. Also, MGM has characters in front of the hat throughout different times of days.

The last few trips we've taken we think there's been more characters out than in the past.
 
A few weeks ago we came into MGM later in the afternoon (trying to get in those last couple of rides before Frances hit) and ran into a bunch of characters just inside the turnstiles. Mary Poppins and penguins, Pocahontas and Meeko, the White Rabbit, Aladdin and Jasmine, and several others that we didn't get to.

At Epcot we ran into a bunch in front of Imagination. Eeyore, Rabbit and Tigger, Prince John, Koda and Kenai, and Rafiki. We'd just come from the base of World Showcase where the character bus had just stopped, too!
