HS Character Palooza-Nov?

[kitkat4622]

So on Kennythepirates page they show character palooza times for all of october, does anyone know if they still take place in November and if so with 2 Fantasmic shows the day we are going what times would the palooza take place? thanks.

I don't know about the times, but we just got back and it is a must not miss opportunity. We saw lots of characters in 15 minutes with little wait!

Kenny has the best sources for Palooza and he isn't yet showing any times for it beyond November 2nd. Keep checking his calendar as he will update Palooza times as soon as he knows the correct scheduling.

With two Fantasmics, the only Palooza begins 4.5 hours before the start of the 2nd Fantasmic.

What is character-palooza??

Kenny is in Europe right now. I don't think he's updating Palooza while touring the Netherlands before he moves on to Paris.

Palooza is still scheduled to occur through the end of this month.

What is character-palooza??

It's an unstructured meet and greet that takes place in DHS only on days when Fantasmic is scheduled.

Thanks so is there anyway of knowing what time it will take place on Nov 9th? We've never experienced this.

If it occurs on November 9th, be at the ToT exit area at least 4.5 hours before the last Fantasmic of the evening. If there is only 1 Fant, be there 4.5 hours before that Fant.

Check the times on Kenny's site to try to calculate the 2nd and 3rd Palooza if there is only 1 Fant. It's usually the same characters at every Palooza so you don't have to attend each one.

I'm keeping my open for the schedule for Dec as well, but I think sometimes it doesn't happen in Nov-Dec. People are speculating that it might this year since so much is closed at DHS.

Today they had it at 440pm and we saw Pinocchio, Donald, mushu, Tiana, jasmine with Aladdin, Snow White, and I think I am forgetting someone.....

Mushu! I guess we'll try again in February. We haven't had much luck since they moved it out of the animation bldg. now I'm thinking mYbe while we were sitting around on the streets of America in August, the palooza was happening at ToT - doh!

Friday's times were all messed up and there were a bunch of us waiting around and we all finally gave up. Adding the 9pm Fantasmic I think was the cause. Thankfully we had gone on Sunday!

Yes there was a gasp when people saw him and all went to his line. It meant my kids got to see everyone (but him) which was great as they were indifferent over mushu! Lol go figure

We will be at HS on Saturday November 15th. hopefully its still going on.

The Studios afternoon sets used to be a bridge between the parade and Fantasmic! When Fant moved to early show times (winter months), the sets would go on hiatus. Now that there's no more parade, there's no reason for a winter hiatus.

Also, now that the sets are happening at Tower, they are bringing out the characters from Fantasmic! which is why we are seeing new characters in the line up: Robin Hood, Mushu, Dopey, Tiana, Bert, Donald, Br'er Fox and those that are not in Fant no longer appear.

Berlioz, are you confirming Palooza for all of November and December this year based on the ToT location?

Last year, post-CtF and DCR - from mid-November through December, full-time Fant CMs were dispersed to other shows and parades and then bridged for show-only. Palooza didn't start up again until after Osborne Lights ended. So, guests CAN plan on Palooza continuing?

 

[Berlioz70]

Nope, not confirming anything, I truly don't know.

According to Kenny, they happened last winter: http://www.kennythepirate.com/2013/...character-palooza-may-be-offered-in-november/

Thanks, Berlioz! Palooza was only for a couple of weeks in November 2013 and then re-started in January. It would be nice if it didn't stop this year!
