Animal Kingdom Character Greetings

I think out of all the parks it is Animal Kingdom that I have been able to spot the most characters and take photos with them. Below is a list of the most common places you can see in Animal Kingdom and where they hang out.

Front Entrance:
It seems that each time I go to Animal Kingdom as soon as I have my bag checked I look up and there is three or four characters with really short lines waiting for people to come up and take photos. I have seen Flick from a Bug’s Life, Meeko, Radcliff, Timon, Rafiki, Baloo, and Pluto. The characters seem to show up throughout the day at various times but usually we arrive at the parks around 10am and will often run into them.

Discovery Island:
The Character Landing across from the Flame Tree Barbecue is a hidden place where you can meet Pooh, Eeyore and Tigger (sometimes people have spotted Piglet). The entrance to the line to meet Pooh and Friends is right before the bridge to Dinoland. You will find them daily 9-11:50am and 1:00-4:50pm. Also if you are a pin trader you will find lots of Cast Members with great pins to trade here.

Also in the area you will often find Lilo and Stitch together outside the Island Mercantile. They are there daily (and during days with Extra Magic Hours) from 9am-1:50pm and 3-4:50pm (Extra Magic Hours they will be there until 8pm).

Camp Minnie Mickey:
Here you will find Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore, Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and Brer Bear. They are there daily from 10am- 4:50pm

Rafiki’s Planet Watch: (Conservation Station)
Of course you will find Rafiki here and sometimes Jiminy Cricket daily from 10:15am-1:00pm and then again 2:15-5pm. You can also find Pocahontas daily from 10:45-11:35am, Noon-1:05pm, 2:45-3:50pm and 4:15- 5:05pm

There are other characters you will see in the park, often I see characters from Tarzan across from Lilo and Stitch. Keep your eyes open and your cameras ready you never know who you might run into.
