I wouldn't be surprised if there were no "rare" characters out this year at all. Seems that Special Events has come up with this swell idea that no one wants to see them. MNSSHP has proved that to me!
Here's a few that I would like to see out for a special event ie MVMCP
3 Little Pigs
Disney Bear
Clara Cluck
You are 100% completely right, no new rare characters out at all! I totally agree about MNSSHP, as I skipped this year since not one new thing to do or see. And unfortunately, this year's MVMCP also is a clone of last year, except for Scrooge's location in the Tree Lot. I went to two MVMCP's last year, so I could instantly tell nothing was new. Just like with MNSSHP, everything is the same, especially the characters. I pretty much expected what I found. Here's the characters I saw:
Brer Bear and the Country Bears (Big Al, Shaker, Liverlips, Wendell - saw them all) were in Frontierland near the Country Bear Show and up the road towards the Diamond Horseshoe.
Pooh and Eeyore alternated with Piglet and Tigger in Pooh's Playful Spot. I think they switched roughly every half hour. Didn't see Rabbit.
Belle in her purple dress with Beast (as a beast) were in the stroller lot for Small World. They alternated with Snow White and her prince.
Mickey and Minnie were in the ToonTown Hall of Fame. In another room were Cinderella and Aurora, but I don't know about their princes since I didn't go through there.
Donald and Scrooge alternated in Donald's Tree Lot in Fantasyland (near the Tea Cup Ride and the entrance to ToonTown). I was thrilled to see Scrooge out!
In Town Square, there was Mary Poppins, Bert and a penguin. Santa Goofy and Max were there, though Max seemed to disappear after awhile! Santa was there greeting, too.
Pinocchio, Geppetto and Gideon were dancing in the party by Ariel's Grotto in Fantasyland. They alternated with Suzy and Perla. I didn't check the dance party in Tomorrowland.
Aladdin and Jasmine were in their area by the Aladdin Magic Carpet ride. They switched with Genie and Abu. Peter and Wendy were by POTC.
Queen of Hearts, White Rabbit and Alice were by the Tea Cups. Later I saw Mad Hatter, Tweedle Dee, and Dum out, too - I saw them riding the Tea Cups, which was cool.
Jessie and Woody were by the water in Frontierland. Didn't see Bullseye when I walked by twice.
The Streetmosphere characters were out - Mayor Weaver, Victoria Trumpeto and another lady. They were amusing the crowd before the parade.
I think that was about it! I had to leave early since I was fighting a bad headache. I guess the only unusual ones were Abu, Bert, and Scrooge, though all were at last year's party, too. Everything was very predictable. Who knows - maybe upcoming MVMCP's will have more surprises but the pattern has been to repeat last year. Oh well!
