Just back, characters seen

[Prince Eric1]

We just got back, were in Disney World 01/06-01/09. There were not crowds, no fastpasses really needed, most rides were walk ons. P.S.'s only really needed for the breakfasts, the dinners were walk in and be seated. Below is a list of characters seen for photos, and we probably missed many more.
MGM-mulan, kermit, miss piggy, snow white, jasmine, woody, buzz, jessie (finally)

Epcot- Beast in france, Aladdin in morocco, the character bus touring had mister smee, goofy, micky, minnie, chip and dale, donald, daisy, gepetto, rafiki, the raggedy looking cat from pinocchio, meeko, baloo

Animal kingdom- Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Daisy, Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, piglet, pocahontas, rafiki (he was everywhere), flik and atta

Magic Kingdom- Tweedle dee and tweedle dum, county bears, mr smee, jafar, launchpad mcquack, mickey, minnie, goofy, pluto, chip, dale, cruella d'ville, Prince john, little john, king louie, timon, the villain from pocahontus, Mary poppins and Bert, Snow white, Mice from cinderella, pinocchio, gepetto, Ariel in the grotto, Cinderella, Pooh and friends, dopey, Genie.

There were numerous other characters in the parades and at Cinderellas Surprise Celebration, but they were not available for photo ops. Also, some of these characters were available in numerous spots and parks and were not listed in all places seen. We didn't see anyone from Monsters Inc out, but we could have missed them. They are doing a much better job putting a variety of characters out than they were two years ago and I know we missed many, and I could have forgotten to list some. Happy Character hunting.

Thanks for the report. I agree, it's nice to have so many characters out. The variety is so great.

Thanks for the update!!! I am at Disney right now, and we are doing pretty much character-hunting non-stop for the next few days! We also seen some that I have not seen before like Maleficent, Little John, Lilo, Stitch, Snow White's Prince, Perla and Suzy, Jafar, and Clopin.

We really also want to find Miss Piggy, Kermit, Piglet, Terk, Tarzan, Hercules, Brer Rabbit, Jim Hawkings, B.E.N., Atta and Flix.

We will be keeping our eyes open for more rare characters - It's great that so many are out nowadays! On Thursday, I counted over 44 different characters doing meets and greets at Magic Kingdom alone!

Wow!!!! You sure did see a lot of characters! I wonder if the reason we didn't see many is because we went at such a busy time they were hidden by the crowds of people?

mister smee, goofy, micky, minnie, chip and dale, donald, daisy, gepetto, rafiki, the raggedy looking cat from pinocchio, meeko, baloo

Wow!! That's a lot of characters on that character bus! This is who was on that bus when we went to Epcot on the day after Christmas:
Minnie
Pluto
Mickey
Somebody who wrote TERK as their autograph... whoever that is. I can't remember. LOL
Bazoo
And Goofy
That is IT! We never even saw Donald the entire time we were there- not at any of the parks.
Sounds like a lot more characters were on the bus your day. I wonder why more weren't there when it was their busiest time of the year when we went? Hmmm

Also one thing I think is weird- how come Donald is only at breakfastosaurus... yet you can't ever see him any other time at AK. You saw him at Epcot... but you would think he'd be at AK since he was already there that morning. I mean even if it wasn't the SAME Donald. You know what I mean.

Um, don't shoot me. That was a typo... I meant Baloo... I promise! LOL

just back, B.E.N. and Jim Hawkins were in Towmorrow land over by the area between the Buzz ride and the COP.... saw them every time we went to that area!

Some of the characters we saw were slightly hidden. Aladdin was in the back of Morocco and no one was around him, I don't think anyone knew he was there. The beast was in an archway in France and you couldn't see him without going up to the restaurant. I have heard a lot of people complain about the difficulty in finding Donald. We saw him twice on this trip and once on our other two years ago, but he's not out like the others. You get Chip and Dale, Minnie, Mickey, Goofy, and Pluto fed to you everywhere but no Donald. Maybe he's to cranky.

Donald does seem to be fairly rare for being a such a popular character. On my last trip the only place I saw him was at Town Square at MK at opening. Seemed to me that Daisy was out more than Donald too. I saw her a couple different places Donald.
