Which characters have you seen?

[Princess Row]

Hello there

I leave for Disney in nine days!

I am making my sister and I homemade autograph books with scrapbooking supplies. We go to Disney about 3-4 times a year and we are more excited than ever for this Halloween trip.

I am wondering

what characters have you seen most trips?
Do you usually see peter and wendy?
Marry poppins&bert?
Tweedle dee and tweedle dum?
Are Tiana and Naveen still able to be seen?

I want to make a list but becides princesses and the fab five who else do I add in??

I know most of the characters that are at Minnie and Friends breakfast but I seem to be a bit overwhelmed.

Also which villians are out almost everyday?
I tried looking on the Halloween board but only found a few.

thanks for any answers!!!! they are all greatly appreciated!

Ooh! Have a fun trip!

It is pretty easy to find Aladdin and Jasmine most times (at their Oasis in Adventureland). You can usually get Aurora, Belle, Cinderella and Snow White at PFF and those plus Ariel at AG. Rapunzel is a crazy long line. Fairies (Tink for sure, Silvermist and Rosetta are the others we have seen) at Pixie Hollow. Those are easy.

Mickey is out at DCA on PP every day (or at least was over the summer). Goofy and Pluto are always at GK, and Minnie is there most of the time as well. Peter Pan is a little harder to find - we saw him at Drawn to the Magic in DCA but that show does't seem to be running anymore - but I have heard that he can be found other places. I have never seen Wendy in the parks. Mary Poppins seems to be zipping around DL, sometimes riding the carousel, but we have not been able to catch her for an autograph. I guess she is also out for musical chairs, but I'm not sure if you can get her autograph there.

Tiana used to have a show in Orleans Square - it was not running when we were there in August and I'm not sure where else (if anywhere) she can be found. We have never seen a meet & greet for Naveen.

Phineas & Ferb have a cute show but I am not 100% sure you can get autographs there.

I have never seen Tweedle Dee or Dum at DLR. We did see Alice once at GK, but she is not a regular. Sometimes Mulan is at GK (she can also be found at DCA with Mushu sometimes), and we have also seen Prince Philip there. Fairy Godmother, too.

Woody & Jessie are out across from TSMM from time to time. Buzz is in Tomorrowland. We have seen Sully at the Hyperion Theater entrance.

Chip & Dale are usually at GK, and they are also at Storyteller's at GCH along with Terk and Koda. Stitch is at the Surf's Up Breakfast at PPH.

As far as villains go - we have seen the Evil Queen from Snow White at the wishing well, and some others (Cruella DeVil, Captain Hook) in the entrance hub at DL.

Oh, don't forget Mater & McQueen - they had moved their meet & greet out of Condor Flats in August and I'm not sure where they are now (used to be near where Radiator Springs is being constructed but they keep changing everything around with the construction).

Hope that helps a little - have a great trip!!

We've seen Peter Pan on one of the paths off the Hub. We've seen Tiana as one of the princesses at PFF. You will usually get 3 princesses there (although one early morning, we only had two). I think they switch out every hour, so once we thought we were going to see her because she was there when we first lined up, but by the time it was our turn they had switched her out. When we went another time, we were lucky enough to get her, as she's one of DD's favorites. She is also in the Soundsational parade.

Jack Skellington was in New Orleans area taking pictures this morning. We heard his wife (girl friend?) Sally was to be there later. He was very cool with our kids.

 

[Princess Row]

Thanks so much for the info.

Still wondering about other villians.
Anyone?!

Princess Row,

This link shows a lot of the common characters, but isn't 100% up to date, so I don't usually refer to it. But it's helpful to make check lists.

Oh thank you so much skiingfast!

Generally you'll see at least a couple hanging out near the front of the parks, especially early in the morning. I know I've seen Chip and Dale doing a show with the firemen near the Main Street firehouse before. I've also seen random characters hanging around Toontown before as well, outside of the usual meet-and-greet areas.

Sometimes, you'll also see characters in the most random places. For example, on one of my previous trips I ended up seeing the Queen of Hearts in the middle of Tomorrowland for some reason.

 

[GFam1sttimers]

We just returned from a trip last week. In the villains meet and greet we saw the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, The Evil Queen from Snow white, the Sheriff from Robin Hood, The Voo Doo man from Princess and the Frog, Jafar, and the Stepmom and the evil step sisters from Cinderella. We also saw Jack Skellington a couple of times...Sally was with him at the Halloween Party.

We also saw Ariel, Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, and Princess Tiana at the Princess Fantasy Fair (had to go back 3 times to catch Tiana because the cast members will not guarantee what princesses are there because they switch out on the 15 and 45 of every hour). We caught Jasmine and Aladdin in Adventure land, but they were more just taking a stroll and only signing a few autographs (not an official meet and greet). Also saw the Fairy Godmother both at Goofy's Kitchen and on the side walkway of the castle

Tinkerbell and Iridessa were in Pixie Hollow.

We saw Alice and the Madhatter two days in a row usually around 3:00 pm by the Finding Nemo ride and in coke corner. We did get Mary Poppins and Bert's signatures right before Muscial Chairs in the coke corner.

Pooh and Tigger were doing a meet and greet, but we also saw Eeyore and Rabbit at different times. Baloo(sp?) from Jungle book was wandering around adventure land. Chip and Dale were on Main street as well as Goofy and Pluto. We also saw Gepetto and Pinnochio on main street on Friday only.

Best place to see Mickey and Minnie in my opinion was at DCA, lines were literally 2 minutes long to see Mickey compared to the half hour line we stood in to see him at his house. Also saw Sully from Monsters Inc. here (he does not sign autographs because of his big hands, we did however get a signature from the cast member standing with him...he could not sign it "Sully" because that would be forgery but he signed it "Raymond...Sully's Friend" ) Handy Manny was also in DCA and was sooo awesome with the kids. Both Woody and Jesse were hanging around Toy Story Mania.

We only saw Peter Pan in the parade not wandering around.

Hope that helps! Have a great trip!

You might want to consider putting more than one page in for the fab 5. Mickey and Minnie show up in different outfits. In CA, we've seen a sailor Mickey and aviator Minnie. They're usually in their traditional outfits or holiday outfits in DLR when we've seen them.

Also, look for the princesses next to the castle. They're a lot more accessible there than at PFF where you can wait for a hour or more in that crazy line!

Jessie and Woody also hang out across from the Golden Horseshoe. We've seen them there the last 3 trips We've also seen Buzz outside his ride in Tomorrowland.

Peter Pan has popped up a lot for us too. One hanging out near the teacups, once next to Snow White's wishing well.

Don't forget the fairies! Tinkerbell and 2 of her friends have their own visiting area. The last time we were there, Vidia and Silvermist were hanging out with Tink. Terrence was leaving as we were waiting in line. We were sad we missed him!

Pictures/tales of villians I've recently seen on the DIS boards are the Queen of Hearts, Dr. Facilier, the Evil Queen, Jafar... I'm sure I'm forgetting some. I know Jack and Sally are making regular apperances right now too!

I have gone to DL three times since Halloween season started, and I have seen Mickey dressed for Halloween in front of Disney Showcase on Main St. every time I have been there, usually Goofy is not far away in his skeleton Halloween outfit.

I saw Jack and Sally in New Orleans square both times, there was a major line both times because they are generally only out during Halloween season. I haven't gone to DCA at all in the past few months, it's really no fun since it looks like it was hit with Dr. Doofenschmirtz's Wallinator.

 

[Bashara]

We were at DLR last week and the Villians we saw included Sheriff from Robin Hood, Queen of Hearts, Jafar, the Cat from Pinnochio and Cruella deVille, in the area near Its a small world. Also saw Mary Poppins, Pinnochio and Gepetto (sp?), and Halloween themed Mickey, Minnie etc in Main Street.

Disneland 1951 has a picture of Agent P, Perry the Platypus at the Phineas and Ferb M&G in DL.

woody is up by the bridge on the frontierland/fantasyland walkway a few times a day. Just caught woody and jessie together in big thunder ranch this last weekend. you'll also find woody near the carousel in dca, green men too.

goofy is in toontown everyday, several times per day near his house.

mickey (in multiple outfits formal wear, fantasia, movie star and steamboat willie) in his house and minnie out in front of her house throughout the day. mickey and minnie were also in their fall outfits on main street.

chip and dale show up in main street and seem to be there in the afternoons.

villians: I've seen red queen and cruella on main street many times. this past weekend at the villain meet and greet we saw jafar and red queen, capt hook was there by himself later but we didn't wait in line.

princesses: best way to see them outside of ariel't grotto is following the coronation where you can usually do pix and siggies with 3 of snowy, aurora belle, tiana, and cindy with very little waiting. coronation was in operation this past sunday but may be sporadic as someone posted that on the fri and sat just before it was closed. rapunzel is easy to find of course but depending on the day may or may not be worth your time to see her. flynn doesn't do the meet and greets anymore I'm told which is a shame. Its such a long line for a single princess.

alice: you'll often see her in the morning near the fountain by pixie hollow just walking about. she doesn't usually stop for pix of siggies though.

peter pan/wendy: I've never seen peter in the park. I caught wendy at the special fan fav's thing they did this past spring and heard that peter was there too but we never saw him.

dee and dum: I just saw them recently but cannot remember where, sorry.

bert and mary: am told they are around but I never seem to catch them.

fairy godmother: near the castle, outside bbb. Never more than 5 people in line and she's kind of fun.

pooh/tigger/eeyore: well, they used to be at the pooh area outside the ride but they have that area closed off right now for some sort of work so on sunday it was only pooh and they'd moved him closer to the ride entrance. The line for the 3 of them can get long and be very slow but its worth it to my 3 yr old.

alladin: I never see him in the oasis area. I must just miss him.

and finally fairies: tink is always there but if you go first thing in the morning she's almost always by herself. I've seen vidia and terrence there but we always miss the others.

good luck! character hunting can be a lot of fun!

WOW! Thank you so much for all the replies!!
I did not expect this many. You are all such a big help.

characters can be such hit or miss.
Especially pan/wendy and alice/madhatter.

I have pages for almost everyone but I am adding a ton of blank ones just to be safe!!

To the post above....I have met malificent a few times in the past but I havent seen any recent pics of her from this year....Hopefully you can catch her!

Whats the cats name from pinnochio?

 

[skiingfast]

I so want to see her! I was told by the cm's that maleficent wasn't doing meet and greets this year. CM info is regularly wrong though so...
