We want to meet Pocahontas for our stay at WDW The first week of October. The app shows Pocahontas won’t be at AK past the date of Sept 27? Does she go away in fall and winter ? It’s actually that way with several characters gone past Sept 27 . Do you know if this is true or just a glitch in the my disney experience app?

Is thumper located anywhere? What about dumbo? Bo peep? Or the prospector? We drove all the way here from Boston and haven’t seen anybody really that we wanted too.

Thumper was retired, Bo Peep used to be in parade only, but that was cut. Prospector has never been a character. If they aren’t on my lists, they don’t exist.

If AK closes at 5pm, when is the latest we could board the train to conservation station and still meet Rafiki?

Looking at both this page of times and the characterlocator.com page you have. Question about times. You say on this pages 20 minutes til close for example. 20 minutes until close of the park? So does this mean if the park stays open to 8 p.m., the character meets until 7:40 p.m. If so, then the two sites don’t match. Just wondering which is correct? Just doing some cross-referencing, so wondering if the times above are still valid or if I should be depending more on the characterlocator.com page.

I resolved the conflicts for the week.

Thank you! I was hoping for later times then the characterlocator site was showing. Again just have to say amazing site. Thank you for taking the time to create and maintain the sites.

He is most likely to appear for RunDisney events like the annual WDW Marathon. Appearances in the parks are extremely uncommon.

So does that mean he’s rare still?

Bowler Hat Guy is not Pixar. Meet the Robinson’s is Disney Animation Studios, although it was the first DAS movie that John Lasseter was a part of after being made Creative Director.

If you like Flik, and wish he had never been cut. Just stop at Guest Relations at Animal Kingdom and tell them that your upset that Flik is not doing meet and greets. It’s the only way.

Does Meeko still swap out with Pocahontas? When we were there in May we got in line to see her. The people in front of us lucked out and got a photo with both of them together…but Pocahontas had to take her break and so we only got to meet Meeko…which was fine! But would love to see her on our next trip, as we have never met her on any trip yet 😦
LikeLike
No, Meeko doesn’t make regular meets any longer, just surprise ones.
