Hi Kenny!
Quick question
My daughter, Meg, is really a huge fan of the movie Hercules. Were going to Disney for the first time in two weeks and she was really hoping to meet Megara and Herc. (More so Megara)
Do you know where we may find these characters?
Hi Kenny. I love the dwarfs. Now that 7DMT has been announced, have you heard of any rumors of them making regular meets? Or will they only be available at the parties still?
had a great experience at the Pirate tutorial which by the way is the best outdoor show at any park, Jack gave my 5 year old an autograph, he is fantastic, we also were able to get Clairabelle’s autograph also
Are you sure these characters don’t appear at all if so then please tell me where!

Hello. I just found this sit. I am a BIG fan of the Mad Hatter and I seen that you have put a list of where all he can be found. Mickey’s Halloween Party is on that list, can you tell me if it is the same Hatter/Man from the “move it shake it celebrate it street party”? And if so how do you meet him? You see I have been going to WDW since my birthday, I have seen that party so many times that i can tell you how it all go moves and all. When I was watching the Disney characters make there way to where it comes to a stop. I looked up and seen the Hatter pulling at his jumper, he then blow me a kiss. Cool huh? As the day came to an end the show made its way to where we were sitting at. On my left my day and on my right my mom, both telling me to look up to see the Hatter with his tough out and pointing at me. As the weeks passed I kept seeing him and him me. Mr. Hatter will stand and posses for me talk to me and even tell me how beautiful I am. On that day I got to meet him but sadly my photos all came out as negatives, it was less than five secants to show time. But the real reason I would love to see him again is that on my last trip the pared was consoled due to bad weather. But a stand in one came down and that one as so darling to see. When the trolley whit the Hatter made its way to where I was standing the Hatter was looking at Pluto the dog. When in a split secants he saw me and pulled himself up to the side of the bus and gave me a sincerely I know you smile. Well later that same day “the move it shake it celebrate it street party” went on as planned. When out of the blue the Hatter came to far right side of the float, stood there until I looked up when he pointed right at me and told me that he LOVES me. Yep you seen and read that line right. When I told this to a CM she told me “that I had my one in a life time magical moment and that was It.” and that I cannot on whim just ask to meet him. So you see if I can meet him out and about then that will help me a bunch. Do you know if the Hatter at the Mickey’s not so scary Halloween party is the same man? I might have another way to meet him, but to meet him out and about would be nieces too. Especially at the Mickey’s not so scary Halloween party as this will be my first time going. Thank you.
Thanks!
I checked the tips on Jake’s app page, but it only gives the times, no actual tips, am I missing something?
And since I am new to the app, how does it notify about schedule changes, does it simply update times on the character’s page?
Oh, and I’m sorry, I guess it’s a typo, but I can’t figure out what you mean by “otherwise I would lusty the actual sets like Epcot characters.”
Tips are under the Tips tab after clicking on the character full schedule/location page. Updates schedule no real notification. Most updates happen Saturday nights typo 😉
Hi Kenny-
I just downloaded your app last night. Our trip is planned for April 2014. My kids met Jake at Disney Jr Play & Dine in the Spring of 2012. Before reading above about the Animation Courtyard, I had no idea Jake could be met outside of the character meal and the Dance Party! How long has he been there?
Well, more importantly, is he always there, like every day? And what are the hours he is actually out? I see the range of “09:30 AM – 04:30 PM”, but is he out the whole time, for the whole day? Or on & off?
I would love some tips on meeting up with Jake! Thanks!!
I’d have to check the date, but he’s been out quite a while. Everyday, whole time block except quick breaks, otherwise I would lusty the actual sets like Epcot characters. Watch the app if there are schedule changes. Click tips on Jake’s app page. You can also check out the interaction tips on blog
I would have really liked a key as to what all the acronyms are. I’ve never been to Disney and we’re going in August, so I’m a little confused as to what characters we’ll be able to find and ones we won’t because the acronyms.
Hi Kenny – great site and great app!
I haven’t been to WDW since 2011 (and 2008 before that) and we saw Timon, Pumba and Flik at AK. Your list says they are now unlikely to be seen. Is there any small chance they may be seen in the summer (2014), do you know?
Thanks! :0)
You saw Pumbaa? Given current rotations, it is HIGHLY unlikely to meet Flik. You can see Timon in the Festival of the Lion King show this summer and he sometimes appears for parades but hasn’t offered meet and greets for some time now.
Rafiki is still available, but Timon just doesn’t make appearances right now. There may be an EXTREMELY small chance of a training meet unless Disney changes the character rotations.
Is it true Disney is phasing out the Little Einsteins? My son Loves them and all he wants to do at WDW is meet Leo! But we won’t be there until May of 2014
They have been gone for quite a while. June is the only one left and June will remain at Hollywood and Vine character breakfast and lunch until January 25, then be retired from rotation.
This is amazing!! thanks so much for all this info, much better than Disney Worlds info!!! As a 1st timer going in January 2014 will all these characters still be there? or is it only in peak times. Thankyou 🙂
Hey, cool site! Just wondering if you had a list of (or if you knew of any) characters that you can only meet in one park? It would help narrow down who we’d like to meet and where
Oops, totally missed Vidia. Terrence in fall, guess with dates of sept 15-22, I should have them include both vidia and terrence in their autograph books. Thanks
Hey Kenny! Happy to see Wendy back on the list!!!!!!! Only see Tinkerbell on the list. Any clue as to what other fairies have been appearing? Thanks. Tina
Thanks for all the hard work you put into your site. This list and everything on your site are extremely helpful in planning our disney trip next June. Just wanted to say thanks and I’ll keep checking back for updates 😄🙏👍
Hi there! This is THE best character list I have ever seen!!! I thought I would mention that I was at WDW two weeks ago and on July 4th, we took a pic with Pinnichio at Hollywood Studios while waiting in line to go into The Great Movie Ride! That was so cool! He was out for maybe 10 minutes??? I wonder what that was all about???
Nope, only for the parties. That is a complete list of regular characters. Check out the rare and uncommon pages for those that may make surprise meets.
Just wanted to let you know that Perry the Platypus apparently appeared at Hollywood Studios this summer (first day of summer). While I didn’t see him, here’s a connection to the photo. A cast member tipped me off.
How often are changes to this made? We will be there August 17th – August 24th. Would I be safe to print this out and start making plans now or would you recommended that I come back closer to our trip? And if I should wait, when would be a good time to check back in? Thanks!
How accurate are your lists? I don’t know how often you update them and whether you use your own personal trips for updating, or if you take information from others who have been inside the parks recently, etc. I’m wondering this both for the Master List and also the schedule of character apperances. Is the schedule based on a specific seasons? Or is it consistent throughout the year? How often do they change them. I’m wondering these things because I’m wondering if I could take this information now an apply it for a trip later, or if I should come back closer to my trip date…
Kennythepirate,
My son loves Pete from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. We will be there this year from 12/1 through 12/10 is there any where we can actually meet Pete in character?
Thanks for the great list!
hey i just came across your site! we have a trip planned late may for our 4 yr old grandaughter who is quite obsessed with the princesses! ive jotted down the meeting places- thank you sooo sooo much!
Hi Kenny! Heading back to the world in April, currently working on another set of autograph cards. Can you offer any information of whose is appearing at Characterpalooza?
Indy often meets after the Stunt Show. Stay around until everyone has left. You’ll see him on the bottom right. I’ve only had Marion stay around once, but you might ask if she will.
any idea if/where there is a place to meet the mice from Cinderella? We are going the Disney World in 2 weeks and that is who my 2 year old daughter wants to see most!
None of the 4 mice from Cinderella offer meets at Disney World. Last time I saw the girl mice was a surprise visit at the halloween party and the boys have been out in forever.
Last year during my birthday trip first week of March, Darth Vader was out with Storm troopers at the HS Star Tours ride, posing for pics and autographs. I got a great pic, and had a fun character interaction. The Storm troopers also signed autographs.
Pinocchio was out in MK near the Barbershop in Town Square.
Jiminy Cricket was at Rafiki’s Planet Watch
I love meeting characters, especially ones you aren’t expecting!
This list is awesome! I’m just curious as to which characters are inanimate. Our band is going in early March and we want to meet all the living ones! 🙂
Hi Kenny – we are heading to DW in a week. It will be our first trip with our 4 year old and she is beyond excited. Do you know if they will have Doc McStuffins or Sofia the First out and about? I know that they are set to appear in Disney Jr. Live – but that opens up the week after we are there. Wasn’t sure if they would have the characters out prior to that. Thanks!
Is Beast still meeting at Be Our Guest at dinner after you eat? Any more news on when/if in the Spring Sofia the First and Doc McStuffins will be at Hollywood and Vine?
Thanks!
In the last 24 hours, 2 different people (who I don’t personally know) posted pictures to Instagram with Chip from Beauty and the Beast from WDW. Both were standing in front of a low stone wall with pink and red flowers behind them. Any ideas on if this was a one time thing or will this be a regular meet and greet?
Hi, we will be in Disney the first week of March. We have reservations at Be Our Guest and I have heard the Beast will possibly be there for a photo opportunity. Is that true? Also, have you heard any rumors about the possibility of Doc Mcstuffins or princess Sofia at Hollywood and vine? Thanks:)
We are going to Disney during Christmas week. I was wondering if you could give me some directions for meeting Pocahontas – my youngest favorite princess (weird huh?). We went during this time last year and she was not at Camp Minnie/Mickey and we could not find her at Rafiki’s planet watch. Any ideas?
Hi Kenny! Thank you for such great info! Just wanted to know where I can find Peter Pan? You have him listed at both adventureland and philharmonic. Thanks!
Oh, and Be Our Guest is NOT going to be a character meet and great. Fine dining, no characters. I know plenty cast who work there, this is a verified and true fact.
Oh also, Periwinkle is going to be permanently meeting with guests from now on with Tinker Bell at magic kingdom- all other fairies have been removed, and meeko will meet in the afternoon with Pocahontas in animal kingdom. Just giving a little cast member knowledge (:
As someone who works at Animal Kingdom, I just want to let you know that Chip & Dale have moved back to their permanent spot in Camp Minnie Mickey by the funnel cake stand. They were only moved to Rafiki’s Planet Watch for around a week. They can be found in camp until about 1:30, but their set doesn’t officially end until 1:40- thanks so much for your list otherwise it is very accurate. Thanks! – Kirstyn
Hi Kenny!
Doing a last minute as in 13 days to get everything together tirip and was wondering if you could advise what characters have been sighted recently during characterpalooza?
Also when is wreck it ralph and vanellope suppose to start thier meet and greet?
Thanks so much!
Tina
I noticed that Beast isn’t on the list any longer. I could have sworn he was there a few weeks ago…Is he no longer meeting in France with Belle? Any rumors about him being added to Fantasyland when the expansion opens?
Going next year…. Fingers crossed doc mcstuffins is there. She is my 4 year olds idol! She tells me she is going to be a doctor in Africa and china now that travels to help sick little kids. I feel doc can be very inspirational for their futures.
Also if not, is there anywhere in Disney World that you can get Brer Rabbits autograph/pic in a meet n greet? Thanks. Headed there October 13th and am trying to get all my “Mickey’s” lined up..lol
I just found this site on the last day at Disney world. I love it and can not wait to use it when we go back hopefully next year. This was our first trip and my girls got autographs and picture with 43 different characters. Just wanted to share that this past weds. In Tinkerbell’s Nook we got to meet Periwinkle her sister from the new movie.
Yes, the Brers come out to dance. I’ve gotten a photo with Brer Bear, but Rabbit keeps running away.
The Master list reflects ONLY the characters regular scheduled meets though. I don’t track the randoms or dance characters for schedules. I should add Hoedown in general to the Magic Kingdom list though. Currently only have it on showtimes.
No autographs from Brer Rabbit at Hoedown… Politely ask for a photo with Brer Rabbit… If he wants to then you’re in luck… The characters are there to just mingle with the guests, photos are optional & up to the characters choice & discretion… Hope that helps!!! Most of all, being nice & polite goes a long way in getting a photo…
Thank to both…yo did reply Kenny….I also posted question in “Why Characters” section. I do have another question…In reading on another disney sight, they stated brer bear and brer rabbit can be seen in Animal Kingdom, at Camp Minnie Mickey. This is the first I had seen of that. Is that true? Once again love the sight, visit daily!!!!!!
ok i wont be there for the christmas party but will be there from dec25-31 how much different as the meetings and are there ones that arent normal on the schedual but will be there because of being christmas time?
There are a number of special characters that appear for the party. No special characters appear at the Magic Kingdom during that week unless they are training meets.
Hi, making my third wdw trip this october all the way from bonnie scotland with my two young kids, (4 & 8), we have booked mnsshp for the 10/11 and was wondering what characters can we expect to bum into? and where? …. many thanks in advance Corvette =)
I think my two year old has stumped me. Is there anywhere to meet Flora, Fauna and Merryweather from Sleeping Beauty?! Doesn’t look like it but just wanted to double check. Thanks!
Chrystal – last time I saw Peter, he was very close to his ride. (It is relatively close to Philharmagic. My favorite thing about the picture was the hidden Tinkerbell painted in the window! I didn’t notice her there when I was talking to Peter, but I love how it looks like she is flying actual size over Peter’s shoulder in the picture. What attention to every tiny, magical detail!
First of all, your site is fantastic. But I have a question.
I am desperate to meet Peter Pan. The master list says he is by Philharmagic. But the MK list says he is by the Advantureland bridge. Where will he be?
Thanks so much, these lists are a huge help in planning my trip. 🙂
Hey I only like characters that are masked and was wondering if new fantasy land will have dopey or something if u don’t know please tell me @ least who u think will be there. Thanks!
I have seen recent video of Gaston coming out and meeting with Belle in Epcot. I am assuming this is character training for the Fantasyland expansion with Gaston’s Tavern. Have you heard anything about his appearances?
Gaston sometimes does training meets, but other than Mnsshp, he doesn’t offer regular meet and greets and won’t in the new fantasyland. Belle will go back to offering storytime in her cottage, but Gaston will not be a character.
First of all, THANK YOU for all of this information! You are truly a lifesaver for many of us. 🙂 Here is a question for you. I have a son who loves Wall-E. I haven’t seen anything mentioned about Wall-E and anything involving Disney World. Just making sure we aren’t missing anything. Thanks for your help!!
I am in the process of making an autograph book. I know we can still see all the Princesses but my questions surrounds the PRINCES to include. I know there is no Flynn Rider, and I know for sure there is Naveen, but what about any other princes?
Carrie,
You can meet Naveen in afternoons with Tiana in Magic Kingdom. Beast is in France, sometimes with and sometimes without Belle, depends on schedule. .Aladdin meets with Jasmine in MK and EP. Prince Eric is with Ariel in MK.
Thanks for the update Kenny! Keeping fingers crossed to see TImon at character palooza. Always loved his reaction to his very own autograph card. Hope Disney changes ways and starts adding more meet and greets instead of less.
Tina,
Sorry to say that Meeko, Timon, Miss Bunny and Thumper are no longer on the schedules. You might find Meeko and Timon at Character Palooza though.
KtP
I guess this guy is only a true “character” in my 5 year old son’s eyes, but do you have information about the remote control talking trashcan (named “Push” I think) that is sometimes found in MK & Epcot? We never had an encounter with it last year and it was the only thing left on my son’s must-see list!
This is a great list. I nice addition would be a note to whether there is a photopass photagrapher at each of these locations. I love getting as many full family photos with the characters but not all characters have photopass photagrathers with them.
Thought it might be easier to list those characters that I have in question

He has been reported out for that day most years. It’s in Februray this year. They should do a Chinese New Year week with the new celebration and bring out all the Mulan characters.
Kenny- your blog rocks! Thank you so much for the character list. It is a life saver. I’m making my son and two nieces their own Disney autograph books. This has helped so much. Thank you for making these lists!!
Isn’t Agent Oso and June at Hollywood & Vine only at B&L? I’m booking now and it is showing the Fantasmic! event at dinner. Is there really Characters at dinner. If I get Characters and Fantasmic I’d be so excited.
Great question Heather!
Agent Oso Hollywood Studios Hollywood & Vine – All meals*
Capt. Hook Contemporary Resort Pirates & Pals Fireworks*
June Hollywood Studios Hollywood & Vine – All meals*
Lilo Polynesian O’hana – Breakfast*
Mad Hatter Grand Floridian 1900 Park Fare – Breakfast* or Wonderland Tea Party
Mr. Smee Contemporary Resort Pirates & Pals Fireworks*
Prince Charming Grand Floridian 1900 Park Fare – Dinner*
You might find Capt Hook & Smee at Character Palooza in HS, but that’s not guaranteed.
Yellow Rabbit sometimes appears at Crystal Palace too.
Kenny- I love your list and all the info is fantastic! Is there any chance you could do a list of characters that are in the different parades.
I think DD would be ok with just seeing some of the characters, but I can’t seem to find good info anywhere on who is in the parades. Is it too unpredictable to do?
WOO HOO! That does it for me. The three year old will be happy with this one and only Character meal than and I don’t need the dinning plan. I swear the last time I looked it didn’t say Jake but, as you stated it does now.
Character Dining at Breakfast and Lunch
Join pals June and Leo from the animated Disney series Little Einsteins as well as Jake the Neverland pirate, Handy Manny and Special Agent Oso at Hollywood & Vine
Looks like I will have to book H&V than. They still have June and Leo, right? Wish they would add Jack the pirate. Than that woul be all we would have to do.
Hi, Kenny, this blog is so helpful, thank you! My son is a HUGE fan of Oso, Jake and especially Handy Manny. Is there any way to know when they’ll take the characters out of rotation at Hollywood and Vine? We’re not going until January. Thanks!
So none of the Little Einsteins are around anymore besides June and then just at Hollywood and Vine? I think when they make their decisions they should consider which shows are currently on heavy rotation on tv.
Hollywood Studios characters at the hat do have special new costumes. Animal Kingdom hasn’t changed costumes lately, but they are different than at the other parks
Gordon…you can also search for the character you’re looking for. I’ll need to learn a few things before I can update each park keep up with the master list too for scheduling 🙂 Great to see you here my friend!
Marriann…Captain Jack is only avaialble at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (MVMCP link at the top). Perhaps I should add him and other party characters like the Seven Dwarves, Abu, Blue Genie, Country Bears, Wendy and the Various Princes to the list with MVMCP designation?
If you are planning a Disney Cruise in the future, he still meets regularly there. Jack is available to see at the Pirate Tutorial, just doesn’t pose for photos or sign autographs.

I haven’t been to WDW since 2011 (and 2008 before that) and we saw Timon, Pumba and Flik at AK. Your list says they are now unlikely to be seen. Is there any small chance they may be seen in the summer (2014), do you know?

WOO HOO! That does it for me. The three year old will be happy with this one and only Character meal than and I don’t need the dinning plan. I swear the last time I looked it didn’t say Jake but, as you stated it does now.

Disney’s description isn’t correct, but that’s not uncommon. Enjoy your meal! It’s a fun experience with the dancing and singing.

So, let me clarify. Agent Oso can only be met at Hollywood and Vine?

Yes, Agent Oso and June can only be met at Hollywood and Vine. They don’t host regular meets in parks.

Hi, Kenny, this blog is so helpful, thank you! My son is a HUGE fan of Oso, Jake and especially Handy Manny. Is there any way to know when they’ll take the characters out of rotation at Hollywood and Vine? We’re not going until January. Thanks!

At this point I’d plan for those characters to remain for a while.

So none of the Little Einsteins are around anymore besides June and then just at Hollywood and Vine? I think when they make their decisions they should consider which shows are currently on heavy rotation on tv.
Thanks for all of the info!

That’s correct Little Einsteins no longer do scheduled meets in the park.

Is it just the fab 5 that have new outfits at HS? Where can I find some pictures of them?

Melanie,
All the characters that meet at the hat have special costumes except for Stitch and the Pooh characters.

I have heard that the characters at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom appear in different costumes now. Is this true? (for instance, fab 5)

Hollywood Studios characters at the hat do have special new costumes. Animal Kingdom hasn’t changed costumes lately, but they are different than at the other parks

Awesome find! It’s usually just Pooh and Tigger. Were they in the toy shoppe or near the International Gateway?

The only thing that would make it better would be if you included the times in the master list as well. 🙂

Gordon…you can also search for the character you’re looking for. I’ll need to learn a few things before I can update each park keep up with the master list too for scheduling 🙂 Great to see you here my friend!

Did I miss Captain Jack Sparrow on the wonderful character list you just posted?

Marriann…Captain Jack is only avaialble at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (MVMCP link at the top). Perhaps I should add him and other party characters like the Seven Dwarves, Abu, Blue Genie, Country Bears, Wendy and the Various Princes to the list with MVMCP designation?

Oh, shoot. 😦 I was really hoping to see him when we were there. But it’s in May, so I guess not this time. 😦 Thanks for the wonderful list though!

If you are planning a Disney Cruise in the future, he still meets regularly there. Jack is available to see at the Pirate Tutorial, just doesn’t pose for photos or sign autographs.

I have seen Captain Jack outside the Pirates of the Carib ride the last two times. May 2011 was the last time I was there tough.

Melody,
Jack has a show outside POTC, but doesn’t do meet and greets unfortunately.
