Tinkerbell?

[HollyJoy]

My youngest daughter simply loves Tinkerbell, and I was wondering if Tinkerbell is part of the character lineup in the parks. If so, where would we find her?

Tink is also my youngest dd's fave and from what I understand, she is not a meet and greet character. Peter Pan and Wendy are sometimes around and can relay message to Tink but you won't be able to get your picture taken with her or get an autograph. She does fly from the castle to Tomorrowland (or the other way around) during Wishes. If you stand on the bridge to Tomorrowland, you'll be able to see her up close. Of course, I have yet to visit, but this is what I've read on the boards.

I have never seen Tink greeting/meeting in the parks.

you can not meet tink. it's b/c she is a pixie and they are so tiny, it's part of that magic. Tink does fly over the castle during wishes and peter carries her in a lattern during the share a dream come true parade.

The only place where you can "see" Tink is before the Wishes fireworks when she flies from the top of the Castle. As wdarling mentioned, Peter carries Tink in his lantern in "Share A Dream Come True" Parade at MK but she's invisavle. She also flies through the final unit of SpectroMagic and in the finale of Fantasmic in animation form.

One thing you might want to do if she's a Tink fan, there's a shop in Fantasyland called "Tinker Belle's Treasures" just to the left of the Castle (byMickey's Philharmagic). If you are the first person into the shop at opening, you can wake Tink up for the day and she will fly around the room. All you'll see is her pixie dust though- no character. I believe it opens every day at 9am (not sure about on EMH days though).

We went in on an EE day and Tinkerbell's shop was open. My daughter got to wake up Tinkerbell and we didn't really even rush there.

THank you everyone for your information. I'm taking notes on all your tips and we will try to be the lucky ones to wake up Tinkerbell one of the mornings that we are there. I do have one question for you still... you mentioned that you have to be at Tinkerbell's Treasures at opening. When does the shop actually open? Does it open during the Magic Hour or after?

 

[Artuero]

It was open when we got there during Extra Magic Hour. I assume it opened at 8 a.m.
