Epcot Characters/bus

[jnjusoioa]

Hi All,
I am just curious to know which characters you have all seen on the Epcot Holiday bus?? We are debating on what to do our last day,the day we leave, we must be back to our resort by 2 to meet our driver to go to the airport and I am debating on going to Epcot,we would not have been able to visit Epcot the whole trip unless we go this day or going back to MK,I have heard lots of good things about the holiday bus so I am just curious to hear which characters are usually on it?? Also does anyone know if they have the bus and the World Showcase characters on Saturdays??? That is the day we would be going.

Also does anyone happen to have an old Times Guide from there that you could scan me,that would be great. Please let me know. Hope to hear lots of input on this.

Thank you all for all your help, I am curious to hear more stories. That would be cool. Also if anyone happens to have an extra time guides from Epcot,I realize that the times may change but usually they are right on or in the same area of times. So that would be great if anyone has an extra one they could scan to me. PM me and I will send you my e-mail. Thanks and hope to hear more stories.

We were there in December and the bus pulled (this was on a Friday at 4:30 I believe) up behind the big Christmas tree by the lake - between the two shops. Sorry I don't know the official names for everything!! Trying to remember who all was there:

Mickey
Minnie
Donald
Chip and Dale
Pluto
Goofy
Rafiki
Turk
Robin Hood
Gideon
Timon

There might have been more, but that's all I can recall.

I always see the bus when I enter Epcot in the morning, just as they open and it's so amazing...and Mickey and Minnie were hugging and kissing for the cameras as they stood on the stairs of the bus, it was so adorable! And they stay for a while, which is so great, it gives you the chance to get some great pictures!

Dumb question -- they do get off the bus right?

 

[dcg0317]

Yes after they drive off a little ways and then they get off the bus and you can then go over and get your picture taken with them, at least that's what they did for the opening of Epcot in the morning when DS and I were there.
