More characters out and about?

[lorli]

I need to track down Bert from Mary Poppins and Princess Atta from Bugs life if anybody has suggestions of where to try. Cm's have been useless in helping when I've asked.

Bert can be found 1900 Park Fare, Grand Floridian Resort weekends and breakfast only.

Princess Atta can be found at Creature Comforts in Animal Kingdom.

My character grid sure came in handy.

For any Pooh and Crew Fans Rabbit likes to hang out in Great Britian over in Epcot. He hides in toy store.

For an old Winnie the Pooh fan like myself finding Rabbit would make me estatic.

Look for Bert behind the castle close to the Cinderella fountain with Mary Poppins and Mr. Penguin. I know he used to hang out there.

Also, you can always go to guest relations or ask a greeter (the CMs who come out with the characters) when a certain character will be out. Some will be helpful.

I know why there are strange combinations of characters sometimes, but I don't want to ruin the magic.

Disney puts out more characters during busy days. They sometimes "hide" them in places like the courtyard behind the Xmas shop in the MK. Draws some crowds away from the rides.

That's great! i love the characters! And that's a good thing tp have alot of them out and about at the same times. It gives you a variety. To be honest, I'm more interested in the RARE characters, and I don't know why!

Wow!! Just returned and thought that there were more characters throughout the parks or maybe its just me. Great photo opportunities with mickey and minnie together, donald and daisy together, pluto and goofy together and all of the seven dwarves...

We were just there the end of June and as I headed towards Dumbo with the boys my DH stopped near the beginning of Main Street to use the restroom. Once he caught up with us in Fantasyland he told me we shouldn't have went on without him because he saw all 7 of the dwarves together. I thought he was just pulling my leg!!! I even went to Guest Services later in the day to check and see where we might be able to see them together again and she basically said my DH was "crazy" that she had worked at the MK for 10 years and had never seen or heard of them all being together anywhere else other than a parade! I'm sorry I doubted him...looks as though he was serious!

We've seen the 7 Dwarfs in Fantasyland on two occasions, one during MNSSHP and another time on just a "regular" day. No autographs, but it was a great photo opportunity.

Sometimes a CM is just mistaken. On Earth Day a couple years ago, we asked a character handler if Jiminy was out, because we heard he made special appearances on Earth Day, and he told us no. But we went to guest services to confirm this, and it turned out Jiminy was out at that very minute! So, it never hurts to ask two CMs, just to be sure.

Earth Day is the only day that I know of that Jiminy comes out. He is usually mobbed because it is so rare to see him.

I'm not specifically "the one" but I thank you for posting. She is my DD8's favorite, and she often says of our Disney cruise that she didn't get to see Sleeping Beauty and Ariel (wouldn't you think the little mermaid would be on a cruise? ). So I'm hopeful we'll get to see one or both next week. Thanks!

Ariel I've only found at her Grotto other than when it was in rehab than she shared princess room in tt. I've also heard Ariel is now appearing in Norway at Lunch in Akersus in her ball gown.

He's occasionally on the Epcot character bus too...we saw him in October 2004.

You are correct. I forgot about that.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

I once saw all the seven dwarfs together, it was in Toon Town Fair, by the railroad station.

I've heard that he comes out during the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot too.

Where did you see Donald and Daisy together? I have never seen her and would love to in Sept.

Thanks!

We saw Daisy and Donald (in their REGULAR attire) inside the entrance of the AK (May, 2005):

thanks so much for the info! It would be great for DD to see her in her gown. But if we catch her in her grotto, that will certainly suffice.

 

[soccerchick]

Thanks DisneyFreakJackie! I'll be sure to look for Donald and Daisy @ AK and will keep my fingers crossed

We have been looking for Daisy for 6 years now and last week it finally happened!! We spotted Donald and Daisy in MGM together at the little trailer on Mickey Avenue by the Backlot tour...at last!! The dwarves were the highlight, they were outside the MK trainstation on July 4th and were there on and off throughout the day, we saw them there on three regular days that week to either first thing in the morning or in the early afternoon, they then tended to be replaced by mickey, minnie, goofy, pluto and chip and dale who all had individual lines before you pass under the train station onto mainstreet

 

[luv2nascar]

we saw tons of characters in June. I love chip and dale so my favorites were cosmic chip and dale in Tomorrowland and chip and dale rescue rangers in adventure land.

Next I wanta meet Brer Rabbit. Howda do....

 

[Princess minnie x]

I also love chip and dale they are my ultimate faves and how cute are those cosmic outfits i saw them in them a couple of weeks ago for the first time, just adorable!

Our trip this past fall we saw a lot of characters too. Like I read on other posts though, the villians seem to be hiding!

We searched high and low for Thumper cause he was suppose to be there for Easter, but we didn't have any luck finding him.

Funny I would think that during the summer the characters would come out less since it is so HOT and they could sick in those costumes.
