Has Jack Skellington been spotted this year?

[sammatt]

He was out doing meet 'n greets last year, and was amazing! Has anyone seen him out this year? I have some friends who would love to meet him! Thanks!

I've seen via Disneynerd420's trip report (pics!) that he is indeed out and about, with Sally. I forget what time they said they had seen him, though. HTH!

We spotted Sally and Jack yesterday in New Orleans Square at about 3:15pm! They looked amazing, and Jack's voice and mannerisms were spot on! I was very impressed!

Yep. We saw them near the Haunted Mansion on the first night of Halloween stuff, 9/25.

Definitely out each afternoon near Haunted Mansion

What time is Jack usually out in the afternoons? Does Jack stick around for the christmas season or is he only out during Halloween?

I will be there first weekend in November and Jack is the only character my 2 year old son wants to see.

 

[disney-inspired]

Yup, him and his lightbulb shaped head are there.

They were out on Friday with a HUGE line, we asked again on Sunday and we were told 11:45 & 12:45 but when we walked over there at 12:55 they weren't there. I think the CM might have meant 2:45 but we left before that....

Yes they are out and about. I was there from Wednesday Oct. 7th to Saturday Oct.11th, didn't see them early in the morning at least not before noon, but about after that they seemed to be out. The photo op line is long, but should move somewhat quickly - unfortunately Jack is able to clearly talk to guests which I noticed did cause some delay since he wouldn't shut up!

They stand in the bushy, brick garden area that's between the French restaurant that's across the way from the Haunted Mansion, and the Haunted Mansion entrance.

My friend and I ate at the Hungry Bear Restaurant that's close by on the lower level. I had left to use the restroom and when I came out I learned that Jack and Sally had just walked by our table .

11:45 and 2:45 seem to match up with the times we saw them daily while I was there on sept 25th through the 30th. Please feel free to check out my TR for more.

DW and her sister were there today and also were very impressed with Jack, voice, mannerisms, and attention to each guest. Two thumbs up!

Does anyone know if Jack usually hangs around until Christmas or does he pack up after Halloween? Or does he turn into a Christmas Jack and wear a santa hat or something?

I may be going this December and have always wanted a picture with him and hoping that he will be there since it's The Nightmare Before "Christmas"!

We saw him yesterday at 430ish as well in the area everyone else reported.

 

[Karlzmom]

Saw him 10/21 outside haunted mansion....

 

[ChristiJ]

Yes, saw them many times while we were there Sun-Tues this week. From noon on they seem to come and go. My daughter was THRILLED to meet him - it was her favorite part of this trip. At one point we saw a Haunted Mansion cast member setting up a line and roping off the area (which we were waiting for, it was around 3pm and I was determined to see him!). We went over and she wouldn't say they were coming, but did say we could line up just in case. I'm glad we did, because each time we saw them after that, they quickly ended the line and we would not have been able to meet them.

In the 3 days that we were there, we saw him for 2 minutes....the cm said he was out every day from 1-5! which was SO not true....very disappointing. we were in the area a lot!

He doesn't stay out for the entire 4 hours, but he is out intermittently between 1-5. Yesterday, we got there right before he was to leave for a break, and I asked the CM when he would return. She said he'd be back in 20 minutes, so we returned 15 minutes later and we were able to see him within 15 minutes of waiting. If the character that you want to see is leaving, the CM should be able to give you a time when they are returning. It's too bad that the CM wasn't more specific so that you would have known exactly when to come back to see him.

I guess we kept missing him by minutes! Seriously were in the area a LOT over 3 days.....truth be told, I was more upset than my 7 year old...

Does anyone know how long Jack hangs around the parks? That's a character I'd love to meet at Christmas time!!!
