Villians,Villians and more Villians

[jnjusoioa]

Hi There,
Just wondering how much luck you all have had with finding the Villians, we have a list of ones we would like to see such as Prince John, Gideon,Foulfellow
Malficent,Ratcliffe,and I am sure more. Anyways just curious as to where you have seen these for meet and greets. We aren't concerned about the parades,we would like to know where we could find them for meet and greets.
Thank You.

Prince John and Gideon were at Epcot in the "Character on Holiday" bus. We saw them at 9:05 in the morning right by the Fountainview restaurant thing and then again in the Showcase Plaza around 4:00. We were there Jan. 15. Each park has a daily times guide and locations for characters.

HI,
over at MGM Cruella was there ALOT and she is GREAT!! I mean she really was CRUELLA...and of course we saw the ones you mentioned. Guess you have to look for them. Good luck!

You shouldn't have a problem finding Foulfellow, Gideon, Capt. Hook, Mr. Smee, Prince John and Governor Ratcliffe...we have seen them many times around Epcot, MGM, and MK.

We had the luck of running into the Evil Queen at MGM a few hours before the parade.

You might also find Cruella, the Queen of Hearts, the Snow Witch, and the Sheriff wandering around.

The only time we've ever seen Malificent in all our trips was at a Halloween Party.

Be sure to go to guest services each day and let them know who you'd like to see. They will call the character hotline and find out if those characters are out that day and where they'll be at certain times.

We ran into the Governor near the Sword and the Stone anvil in the MK. My advice is to keep your eyes peeled. You never know who you will see or where you will see them.

We saw a ton of characters while we were in line at the MK Barber Shop. There's a gate right there that they all come in and out of. Probably a good place to scout them out.

And, I don't know if its still there or not but the one time (back in 1998) we went into the Toontown Town Hall to meet characters there was a huge display board listing all the characters that were currently circulating. It didn't say where they would be but at least you could know who you had the possibility to run into. Does anybody know if they still have this at the Town Hall?

Good luck!

We have found Capt Hook, Cruella and Smee often at the Entrance of MK early mornings.
The only place we found Queen of Hearts was at the UK of World Showcase,
She is so mean ..oh I mean fun when she makes our boys kiss her hand..or off with your head!!
On one of our trips we went to a Villians Dinner at the Park Fare..It was great but I cannot find if there is anything similar now??
Too bad our boys love the villians because they are so fun.

Great thread!!! My kids love the villians. My DD13 has an entire pin collection of all villians. All 4 of mine have always loved the villians in Fantasmic, glad to know they are not the only ones

This past June, my son got a private meeting with Maleficent. It was so much fun!

Could you please give us more info?

A CM arranged a private meeting for him, completly unbeknowst to me. We had chatted with her about how Maleficent was his "Holy Grail" of characters and she said she'd see if she could find out if she'd be around that day. She later called me and told me to be at City Hall at MK by a certain time and boy, were we surprised!

How about a Character Meal with the Villians. Is there such a meal? That would be perfect for my boys.

 

[Mady/Sophiemom]

There used to be a villains meal at 1900 Park Fare, but it was discontinued. I was so bummed. My girls were too young to enjoy it then, but we would so love it now.

Try attending a MNSSHP, it usually has the greatest concentration of Villains out and about! I've seen Snow Witch, Frollo, Stromboli, J. Worthington Foulfellow, Gideon, Maleficent, Cruella, Gov Ratcliffe, Capt Hook, Queen of Hearts, Hades, Prince John, Headless Horseman, Jafar, etc at the Party.

Last trip I saw the Evil Queen at the entrance to MGM. Prince John and Sheriff were on the Epcot Character Bus. J. Worthington and Gideon were with Pinocchio and Geppetto in Italy.

Has anyone ever seen Gaston? Lady Tremaine? Shan-Yu?

Ursula would be awesome, but I don't know how they would do it....unless it's a similar set up to Ariel's.

You beat me to it! I was also going to suggest planning your vacation in October. So many mean characters that you never see otherwise come out for the Halloween Parties.

My husband LOVES the villians..and we were there for Halloween...but much to his disappointment..we didn't really get to "meet" that many villians...Cruella was the coolest one we "met". My DS LOVED her too. My DH really wanted to see Malificent..we saw here in the parade..but that was it. We asked a CM about it and he said that they all use to come and hang out in the back area behind the castle...but they had received so many complaints about the "mean" characters being out all at once that they had to discontinue that. Now he said they are getting complaints that there arent' enough visible villians..so he said they were trying to work something out. who knows? I'm sure disney will figure out something to make everyone happy!

 

[angel's momma]

princess-rn, were you there for the Party, or just during the day? I've read many reports that the villains are abundant at the parties, and that's why our next trip is in Oct, so we can see the rarer characters.

We were there for the party too and I didn't see any. We were pretty overwhelmed at the party though..trying to do and see everything..so we may just have missed them. I know we asked specifically at the party for Malificent...and they said she would be in the parade but that was it. It's AWESOME there in October. I hope you all have a great time!!

 

[angel's momma]

That's disappointing. We're really hoping to see Maleficent, so I hope she'll be out.

zagafi, somehow I missed seeing your reply, thanks for the details! What a fantastic surprise!

I'm sorry you didn't see any villains at the Halloween party Princess-M.

We went to one of the parties this past October and saw: Maleficent, Snow Queen, Frollo, Big Bad Wolf, Cruella, and Sheriff hanging around the castle.

Since we had our six month old DD with us, we weren't interested in any rides...we spent the whole night looking for characters!
