Character Greetings in Magic Kingdom

Last week we talked about finding animals in less popular places in Animal Kingdom. This week I thought we would talk about finding Disney characters throughout the Disney World parks and in the Disney Hotels. I have seen a couple and I have started collecting photos of myself and Norwood with characters. All this week I will tell who is where and show you some of my encounters. First up this week is Magic Kingdom. There are four places to find characters in Magic Kingdom here is a list of who is where…

Main Street USA:
Next door to City Hall you will find (for a limited time) Pinocchio and friends. They will show up at various times from 9am- 3pm. He is on my list to meet.

Adventureland:
Next to Pirates of the Caribbean you will find Peter Pan and sometimes Wendy. I have seen them both there many times but the line was too long to take photos with them. They are really popular! They are there daily at 10:00am to 3:00pm and then again from 4:00pm to 5:30pm. Keep your eyes open you may also see Jack Sparrow near Pirates of the Caribbean as well.

Fantasyland:
Ariel’s Grotto where from 10am to 8pm daily you will see Ariel. I have not yet made it over to Ariel’s Grotto it is on my list of characters to meet.

Mickey’s Toontown Fair:
This is probably the best known place to see characters. At the Judge’s Tent you will see the very popular Mickey Mouse (and sometimes Minnie Mouse). And at the Toontown Hall of Fame you will see the Disney Princesses. I stood in line once to see Mickey Mouse during the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party but did not make it up to him before he left. I have not yet been to the Hall of Fame. You can find the Princess in the Hall of Fame Sunday 10am-8:30pm, Monday- Friday 10am- 7:30pm and Saturday 10am- 9:30pm.

Tomorrowland:
Tomorrowland is home to two popular Disney characters, Buzz Lightyear and Stitch. Outside the Carousel of Progress you will find Buzz Lightyear each day from 11am- 6:30pm and near the Galaxy Palace Theater you will find Stitch each day from 9am- 4pm. Norwood and I have had our picture taken with Stitch during the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and I caught Buzz just as he was leaving from his last greeting.

The above list is only some of the characters that you will find in Magic Kingdom. Keep your eyes open you never know what rare character you might see. Tomorrow I will tell you who you can find where in Epcot.
