Does anyone know where the characters would be for pictures/autographs if it's raining? We leave on Thursday for DL and as of now the forecast calls for rain Friday & Saturday, the only 2 days we'll be in the park
In DCA you'll probably find them either in the Animation building or under cover of the Monsters Inc Ride. There's also the Princess Lunch/Dinner in Ariel's Grotto.
In DL you'll probably find Buzz in the covered area by the Tomorrowland Terrace. In ToonTown Mickey has a meet and greet inside of his house. I think the grotto where Ariel and the other pricesses hang out is also under cover.
When we were there on Jan 14th, there were a ton in the Animation building. I saw Sorcerer Mickey, Max, Jasmine, Mr & Mrs Incredible, Jafar, Chicken Little, Pocohontas, Mulan, and a bunch more that I can't think of.
We had the craziest thing happen last Friday at DL. It had poured all morning and we were all pretty soggy so we decided to take a break and get some dry clothes. On the way out we walked past the building next to the bank on Main Street (can't remember the name). We looked in and saw Alice, the Queen from Alice in Wonderland, Pluto, Tweedle Dee, Minnie, the Mad Hatter and Belle. We stepped in and there were only about 6 other park goers there. Well the characters decide to do a story so they had Belle tell hers and they all acted it out pulling people out of the audience. It was really funny. Then before we know it out comes Genie, Aladdin, Jasmine, Goofy, Cinderella and Donald. (I think I may be missing a couple.) We had them all to ourselves for nearly an hour. The CM's that were with them were laughing so hard and said to my friend "this never happens". It was one of those magical moments. We got tons of pictures
So look around....you never know what you'll find at Disney
MickeyManiac - what a magical experience! I'm glad you were able to be a part of it.
I've seen a bunch of them at the Animation Station - we had so much fun there with them, and also at the Village Hause in Fantasyland -- we were visited by some princesses and the beast.
