Characters on Holiday Bus @ Epcot

[LeeAnn]

In the past I have seen the "Characters on Holiday" Bus in World Showcase enterance and in Japan. I have told this also happens by Spaceship Earth. I have necer seen it there. Is this true?

What times does this bus appear (at all locations)? Is the time always the same or is it seasonal?

This past Oct, it was at World Showcase Daily at 11:15am, 2:05, 3:10 & 4:15pm and in Japan @ 12:20pm. Are these times good for early March?

I have a very limited time at Epcot and I'm trying to plan for lunch @ Garden Grill. I'm looking to see if 11:15am is still accurate. If so, I need move my ADR for GG.

Thanks for your help.

Sadly, the bus has been discontinued. It was replaced by the new Character Connection in FW...near Innoventions and the Electric Umbrella a few months ago.

Our trip is also in March, so I'm not sure if the characters are there continuously, if they rotate, etc.

Characters are currently at the Character Connection across from Innoventions West. Hours are 9-5:30pm. There are an assortment of characters. No more Character Bus....for now anyways.

Is this the same place for the Disney Visa Meet & Greet?

No, when we were there about 2 weeks ago, we got to Epcot early one morning. We ran into the Character Connection. It was wonderful! And also just about empty of other families. We had all these characters to ourselves. We just kept going from one character to the next...no waiting.

I thought it might be the Meet & Greet but a C.M. said it wasn't.
We later found the Meet & Greet in another building. It paled in comparison to the Character Connection (but it was nice to get the free 5X7).

Thanks!

When we were there in October, the Disney Visa meet and greet was in the Innoventions building that's on the same side as the Coke station (sorry, I can never remember which way is East/West ). We got to visit with Mickey and Pluto. We took lots of pictures and the Photopass guy did too...it was really hard choosing just one for the free pic!
