Characters in holiday clothes

[charabby]

We are going for our first Christmas trip to the World this year December 21-31. Unfortunately, after all the parties.

What I am trying to figure out, however, is how to maximize the potential photo ops of characters in their holiday outfits? I realize they will be dressed up for the parade in MK (right?) but are there M&Gs we can target? I've done several searches of the boards and nothing pops up.

Thanks!

When I went last December, Santa Goofy was doing M&G at Hollywood Studios at the Streets of America and Duffy was in holiday clothes doing a M&G in a gazebo near the walkway between FW and WS in Epcot. I have heard Santa Goofy also meets during the Osborne Lights, not sure if that is true for this year. Balu and King Louie were wearing holiday scarves in AK. Have a magic holiday

Mickey & Minnie wear Christmas sweaters at their M&G in AK

AK is where I remember seeing Mickey and Minnie in their holiday attire but that's been many years ago. And, with Camp Mickey Minnie gone, I'm not sure if that's still the case.

Check Kennythepirate.com before you go. Kenny will list the resort meet and greet schedule where the characters are dressed in a variety of Holiday outfits in the days leading up to Christmas. The meet and greets are held at many of the Deluxe Resorts to provide "atmosphere" due to the parks being extremely busy.

The parade where the characters are the most dressed up for the holidays is the one that is PART of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, so if you aren't attending that, then you won't see that parade. But, I don't know if they dress up any differently for Festival of Fantasy during the holidays, I have never viewed that parade.

FoF won't be running from December 20 - 31. The Christmas Parade will run during that time period at 12:00 and 3:30 and FoF returns on January 1st.

Oh that's awesome, didn't know! Thank you for the correction.

You're welcome! MVMCP entertainment traditionally moves to regular park hours immediately after the last MVMCP. The Christmas stage shows and the parade move to daily operations.

Thanks! i'll check out Kenny the Pirate's site and keep that in mind for AK (assuming Camp Minnie/Mickey is relocated).

Definitely do the resort meet & greets! We caught one day of these with the monorail resorts a few years ago and really loved it.
