Where can we find Mary Poppins?

[St. Margaret]

I know she and Bert dance in Celebrate!, but where else do we have the best shot of tracking her down during the day?

My daughter (we're making another AP trip this week for her birthday!) doesn't watch a lot of TV, but we watched some of Mary Poppins on Easter and she's obsessed with it, and I remembered what an amazing movie it is. We've been listening to the soundtrack and pretending to be the characters and singing the songs for two weeks. I would love to get my little girl up close with Mary and Bert!

I'm thinking Main Street seems most logical, but does anyone know any details? Experiences? I figure with the Broadway musical they're hyping her up these days, right?

Thanks so much for any tips!

Today we passed Mary and Bert around 10:30 as we left DL. As we were leaving they were on the right hand side just before the tunnel/train underpass thing

They also hang out over by the building next to Coke Corner where they used to have the Nestle Toll House Cookie Baking. I am drawing a complete blank on the name of that place...!

We saw them in the same place the 1st week of April around mid-day.

This is where we've seen them on 2 different trips.

Thanks, all! Sounds like if we try the Coke corner and by the tunnels we'll have a good shot. It'll be a great excuse to hang out along Main Street a little more than we often do.

we saw her at coke corner on Saturday at 5 pm she was scolding a little boy who was crawling on the floor in her very Mary way.
The piano player was playing a selection of Mary Poppins songs. It was magical

I got stuck in my ECV unable to move when the couple appeared by the wishing well. Mary Poppins in her English prim and proper way did get everyone to line up and make room for other guests to walk by. Nice of her to do that or I would have been stuck there for a long time.

I have seen them out front also at the main entrance once.

Plaza Pavilion?

They also put on a show in front of the castle. I'm not sure on the times though.

Oh I just love Mary Poppins!!! What a great question. When I saw her on my last trip about 7 years ago I was so excited. My sister said I was like a little girl And at that time she was near the tunnel too!! I hope we see her again and good luck finding her yourself!! Have fun!!

When you are at the Park, stop in at City Hall and ask them. They can tell you when and where any character will be on that given day.

What a great character for your daughter to be excited about meeting!

Saw her there with Bert and the Penguins. DMIL loves her but she just hung back on her ECV while DD got her autograph. When DD told Mary her grandmother loved her. My DD pinted her out to Mary. She waltzed over to DMIL and said hi and took a picture. So awesome and DMIL could not wipe the smile off of her face!

Plaza Pavilion?

YES! Thank you! That was driving me crazy!

We have seen them in FL riding the Carousel, at the Plaza Pavilion and walking down Main Street. As Dreams suggested go to City Hall and ask where and when to find them, they will steer you in the right direction.

We were lucky enough to meet them near the tunnel on the right hand side leaving the parks - I hope you get to see them, they are wonderful! Spit Spot!

Okay, I saw friends' pictures of the show in front of the castle, and now I'm dying to get DD to see it. She's probably a bit too young to take to the Broadway show until next year or so, so this would be a great alternative!

Last time we saw her a bit in the parade; my plotting to get by where she and Bert would be dancing didn't work, lol. But we waved as they were leaving, and she waved right at DD (I think she could tell she had a real fan).

We're going again tomorrow and I guess I'll just have to check in at City Hall first thing. We will try to go one more time in June before our passes are no good for the summer. I would love to catch Mary up close for DD still! Hopefully they are doing the show or at least hanging out on MS or by the tunnel one of the days we'll be there.

Thanks, all!
