THe charachter bus stops ion epcot a few times a day... I always see it in the WS... There are a bunch of chacters on it - last time we say it - it stopped in Japan - and on it was Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto, Max, Goofy (I think), Terk, and a few other characers... it is great fun to see the bus b/c when it stops you know there will be a lot of characters to meet.

(Not sure about times though -- maybe someone else knows?)

"Characters On Holiday" is the name of the bus that drives through different areas of EPCOT and stops at the WS and Japanese Pavillion (and at the main gate outfront) during specified times of the day-usually in the earlier part of the day. The time schedule that comes with the guide map for the day will tell you when these visits are happening for that day.

There are usually 7-10 characters on the bus and they come off the bus and find an spot so guests can visit with them. This is a great way to see the characters and get snapshots and autographs with them. They usually hange out about 20 minutes or so. There are usually different characters so you never know who will show up. Usually Mickey and/or Minnie are there.
