We are arriving this weekend at the DL and my DD would like her photo with Jack Skellington - we've just missed the halloween parties and I know he was available then....does he do character meet n greets on non-halloween party days? If so, where might he be located?
 
Back in mid-September, before the MHP started, we saw Jack posing for photos right in front of HMH to the left of the main gate (near that concrete planter box area) as I had to pass by him to get to the FP machines. Hope he's still there for your visit! Someone said there's a CM stationed near Main Street who has the day's character sightings/schedule. I never noticed it myself, but maybe someone else can chime in?
 
We've seen him walking around NOS in late November....so I assume he's out and about during Haunted Mansion Holiday's entire run.
 

Right near the Haunted Mansion, as has been mentioned. If you stand looking at the Mansion, it's off to the left. Sort of in front of the train station, in front of the fountain.

We saw him out every day this past week, but only once with Sally.
 
Just a quick note, you can ask at City Hall where he might be found. :)
 
Be sure that you ask. We never would have found him when we were there if we hadn't kept asking. It was very warm and they had put him over beside that really lovely staircase. (The one that is over by itself? Not sure how to best describe it). We'd looked and looked for him all morning and finally had them call the character line and he was right around the corner!! :lmao:

Another day he was greeting guests in front of Cafe Orleans. (loved watching him while we ate) Another day he was down where you'd sit and wait for Fantasmic. Don't expect him to be in the same place everyday. We made that mistake.

that happened to us too. We were told by several of the "ask me about character" cm's that he would be out in about 15 mins and would be where the band plays in NOS. So we waited, nothing. Then dh noticed back in that gated area by the staircase (I think its called the court of the angels or something) a small crowd had gathered. He went and checked and lo and behold there were jack and sally! We would have missed them entirely.

I get more wrong info than right from the cm's it seems.

I was the last person in line to see Jack a few weeks ago. The CM was telling people that Jack would be out again in about 10 minutes and that he would be somewhere in the New Orleans area.

Lately, I have been frustrated with the lack of information I am getting from CMs when asking about characters. Even the information booth at the hub hasn't been able to provide answers to my questions. I definitely don't want to go to City Hall and stand in a long line. :rolleyes1

On Jack: he was still out yesterday.

We could not get answers from most cast members we asked about anything this last trip. :/
 
We just got back today and Sally was out on Thur Nov 10th so I'm guessing would also be around. Hope that helps!
 
When we were there last November, he and Sally were out every day just to the left of the HM as others have said, everytime we saw him, the line was already closed. He is very popular. I would try to find out the times and locations at City Hall and be there early.
 
Hopefully this is a continuting thing where Jack and Sally are out during the entire run of Haunted Mansion Holiday. According to a CM that I spoke to last year during Christmas week it was the first time Jack and Sally have been out to meet guests during the Christmas season (meaning past Halloween). I missed getting to see them at Halloween this year due to my DS(4) who was just warming up to the characters and took one look at him and said no way!!! But now really wants to meet him come Christmas. So hopefully we get to again considering he is very realistic and fun to talk to.
