The Character Locator Challenge

The Character Locator Challenge isn’t for wimps!  You’ll walk and stand, walk and stand, walk and stand for an entire day.  You must have park hopping privileges in some form and can either use your own transportation, public transportation or Disney transportation.

The goal is to meet as many characters in Disney Parks as possible in a single day by following the rules below.

Here are the rules:

1. The characters must have appeared in an official Disney / Pixar / Marvel / Star Wars production.  Characters such as Streetmosphere, Main Street Citizens, iCan, DiVine or Norway Vikings do not count.
2. You may only count unique characters met. If you meet them in different costumes, it doesn’t add anything to your total.
3. No line jumping or line holding allowed.
4. You must appear in all photos together in the same clothing all day.  No change of clothes allowed.
5. At Walt Disney World you may use Fastpass, but it must be according to Disney rules with 3 advance Fastpass and extra ones obtained using only your ticket(s)
6. At Walt Disney World you must share screenshot of all Fastpass used throughout the day.  Screenshot must contain your names.
7. You may include characters met at any character meal during the same day,  but must include a photo of your receipt to prove you paid to eat there.  This is to eliminate the chance that someone just ran in and took photos with the characters without paying.
8. Use of Extra Magic Hours is okay
9. Use of Halloween or Christmas parties is okay
10.  You must meet Mickey in at least one park.
11.  You must meet at least 1 character in each of the 4 Disney World parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom).  At Disneyland Resort, you must meet at least one character in each park.
12.  Each meet photo must be shared on Twitter with #CharacterLocatorChallenge @thepiratekenny on each post.  Example 1. Pluto #CharacterLocatorChallenge @thepiratekenny  
13. You may not use a private Twitter account
14. Your attempt must be on a single operating day.
15. Dance parties do not count.
16. Photos must be taken by another person. “Selfies” do not count.
17. Characters appearing in a “Dance Party” environment do not count.
