Green Army Men ???

[oogieboogie]

My DS5 is totally into the whole soldier/military thing right now, and I'd love to know if the Green Army Men from Toy Story are easy characters to spot (do they show up often), and if so, where do you usually find them?

He'd be so thrilled if we could see them. Thanks guys

7 days and counting down!!!

I saw them at MGM one morning in September. They drive around in a minivan and did a little "drill" presentation before signing autographs. There were probably 4 or 5 of them together.

They are always in the parade at MGM. In addition to the parade, I've seen their "drill" in the area around Mickey's sorcerer hat. A lot of the characters hang out in that area for autographs. I don't think you'll catch them anywhere but MGM.

Yep, we also saw them in MGM near the hat. We got an autograph and took a picture.

Wonderful! Thanks a bunch guys. DISboards Rule!

Your son should have a ball meeting the squad. Sarge and a few of the other Green Army Men do appear regularly at MGM. Their appearences are not listed in the guidemap, so you might want to ask someone at the tip board when and where they will be appearing (sometimes they're by the Hat, sometimes by Al's Toy Barn and sometimes in the parking lot). Also, they're in the afternoon parade as Keke mentioned. Hope you have a great time.

What is Al's Toy Barn and where is it? I'm looking at the MGM map and can't find it.

Al's Toy Barn is a character meet-and-greet location for Toy Story characters. Usually Buzz, Woody, Jessie, appear here and sometime the Green Army Men join them (if they are not somewhere else in the park). It's right outside the exit to MuppetVision 3D is. If you're looking at at map, it should be in the upper left hand side of the park, just past MuppetVision and Pizza Plannet.

Yes, we saw them over by Al's Toy Barn - maybe two or three together. Also. there are a bunch on thop of the TOy Story buildings at All Star Movies - not sure where you are staying, but we love the AS Movies!

WE HAVE ALWAYS SEEN THEM OUTSIDE AL'S TOY BARN.

 

[oogieboogie]

great guys. I'll definitely be on the lookout.

Would you believe we saw them in the parking lot last week at MGM. As we were walking up to the tram their truck pulled out and a few of them got out and were "helping" to direct people onto the trams.

One of them even stopped and pointed out my DH's shirt (a Reyn Spooner brand Toy Story shirt) and kept giving him the thumbs up!

So they could show up in several places!

Now this was a year ago, but we saw them at the entrance of the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" playground. They goofed around and posed for pics quite a bit, even gave my son an autograph. I really enjoyed watching them.

We also have seen them right outside Al's Toy Barn, as we waited for autographs from Buzz and Woody. They are also, as previously stated, in the Movie Stars and Motor Cars parade at MGM. I thought my kids might be scared of them, as they are a bit creepy looking, since their faces are covered.... but they loved them.

We saw them in the parking lot at MGM. They were going over the tram rules and "ordering" everyone into the tram when they arrived. It was very funny.

Just wanted to say that watching the green Army men was the highlight of my day at MGM--hilarious!
