Jiminy Cricket

[jnjusoioa]

Hey All,
I just thought I would post this here in the hopes that someone could help, I remember reading and now I can't find it anywher, is Jiminy going to start appearing in the parks more, there was another thread going about him, and for the life of me I can't find it, but I thought someone who worked at Disney had posted that they were going to be putting him out more, and just wondering if it was true and if so which park would he be at?? Can anyone help. Thanks.

Hey!

I was going to PM you this, but I saw Jiminy YESTERDAY!!! I couldn't believe it!! And he was in a place I never would have thought to look for him - in front of Pinocchio's Village Haus restaurant in Fantasyland! I read on Steve Soarse's website that Pinocchio characters were meeting there this week, but I assumed that meant Pinocchio, Geppetto, and Gideon, and maybe Foulfellow. But there Jiminy was, along with Pinocchio! The 1st time I saw him that morning, the line was long and he was heading in. But the CM said he would be back at 11:20, so I lined up in front of the restaurant at 11:10 (with another family who also was looking for Jiminy!) and I got to meet the Cricket himself. I met him three years ago at Epcot, so this is only the second time I ever found him. And it was incredibly pure luck, as today at Magic Kingdom he was not there! So finding Jiminy is sooooo hit or miss!!!

But I am happy to report that he did get out yesterday!!

Thanks so much Sue, this is great, I just sent you a PM too. It looks like his costume is new so I wonder if this is going to be a new thing, how awesome would that be?? I really want to meet him, maybe just maybe Disney is starting to listen to us and getting more characters out.

It looks like his costume is new

ever seen a ratty looking character (unintentional) at Disney? Goes for worker's costumes as well. They definitely keep things looking nice

Jiminy is my favorite Disney character of all time. We're going to WDW May 29-June 5 and if I see him I swear it will be the highlight of my over 30 years of trips to WDW!!!

Hey, you are in luck, the I Dig Bugs weekend is going on at Epcot June 2-5 and Jiminy is suppose to be there greeting at Epcot so you will see him. Good luck and report back to us.

Thank-you and may the Blue Fairy sprinkle you with some of Tink's pixie dust!!

Keeping my fingers crossed that his appearance wasn't just a fluke. We saw him in June 2004, but it was scorching hot out at Epcot and my DH and DS would have had a fit if I made them wait.

Jiminy, Scrooge, Clara Cluck - All exciting news!

Then I remember that the only time we'll be at MK is for the parties. Maybe we'll get lucky & they'll be out then.
