What characters are at USF/IOA?

[Cruz Family]

I was hoping you US/IOA regulars could help me (again). What charcaters are we most likely to see during our Oct. trip? Is the Grinch year round or just a Xmas time? Do they sign autographs or is it best to just do pictures? TIA, Melissa

I have to add one to USF...ZORRO! MIB999999 and I were there the other day and he was nonchalantly hanging around (leaning on a pole, usually) just past La Bamba on the walkway there.

I think after Spiderman, he is MY favorite character!

Guess it's good to have a special character in EACH park!

Oops! I got all distracted there and forgot to finish my post!!!

The Grinch...at Christmas/NewYears (that general holiday season), the Grinch has a lair and he is the new "live ala Jim Carrey" Grinch...I haven't gotten to see him for a couple of years, but I remember he was INCREDIBLE! I was almost left wondering, "how did they GET Jim Carrey to do this???"

The rest of the year, Grinch is much like the Grinch from the books and doesn't speak. We saw him yesterday walk over to someone who was sitting and he just took their map and walked off with it. MIB999999 asked the hostess that was nearby if the Grinch was lost and she replied that "we don't even know how he got here".

DAI... er...

That is the best story regarding a Universal character that I've ever heard. And I don't believe I've seen the furry Grinch before.

Then again, I just pass through Seuss Landing and linger around Marvel Super Hero Island and Toon Walk.

The christmas grinch looks awsome. I wonder why they don't keep him all year long?
The other grinch looks like something from one of those costume rental places.
My 8yr. old will like it anyway, and I guess that is all that really matters
