Have you heard any rumors about when Doc McStuffins and Sofia the First will be doing meet & greets?
Nothing firm, but I’d guess that Sophia will arrive pretty soon
What do you think it taking so long for Doc to show up? She’s so popular! We were hoping to see her in January. :/
She’ll appear in puppet form in Disney Jr Show in mid-february, but not in meet and greet form
What about Sofia, is she doing a meet and greet or just the puppet?
Sofia as meet and greet hasn’t been announced. I’ve heard Spring
Thanks for the response. My DD LOVES her and was hoping to meet her next week..DANG!
We are going end of March, easter week…. you mentioned doc puppet form at the disney jr show.. will that be happening then? And any chance you heard if sofia might be there by then?
New puppets and show at Disney Jr will begin mid Feb.
No firm dates on Sophia meet, just “Spring” is all I’ve heard.
Kenny, will the Disney Jr characters still be meeting in the Animation Courtyard while the show is closed for refurbishment?
I was told to check the Magic of Animation in case you don’t see them.
Thanks, Kenny!
We are going to HS the beginning of February and having breakfast at Hollywood and Vine- is June from the Little Einsteins still at the character breakfast or has she been replaced? I didn’t see her on your list. BTW- thank you soooo much for all your amazing lists and updates. It has made planning our trip much easier. My 4 year old has her list of characters to meet and your schedules will make it so much easier. Thank you!
Yes, she still appears for breakfast and lunch. You’re looking at the in park meet and greets. She is under the Character Meals.
I added in park character meals to the character schedules to help people a little. All other character meals are still on the character meal page. Hope it helps.
That did help! thanks so much for all your hard work!

We will be at HS on 2/17. We are excited that doc and sofia were added to the Disney Jr stage. We also have breakfast planned that day for 8:05 do you think Doc and Sofia may be added to that character breakfast by 2/17?
Not that I’ve heard, but anything is possible with WDW
Kenny – How often are the character meet & greet schedules updated? We’re going in late April and I wanted to see if I could start planning around this just yet? I also noticed Characterpalooza is listed as on hiatus – do you know for how long?
I update them whenever a change is made.
Palooza should return March 10
Hi Kenny:
We will be in DisneyWorld on Feb. 21. Wondering if the Character Palooza in Hollywood Studios will still be on hiatus at that time?
Yes March 10
Kenny this is really cool! Thanks! Can you tell me more about characterpalooza. I’ve never heard of it. We haven’t been since Thanksgiving 2010. Can we actually get signatures and pictures or is it just a chance to see them. How does it work.
Yes you can get photos and signatures. There’s a link on the left side that has all the info

Hi Kenny – friends are headed to WDW in May. DD wants to meet Jake – will he still be there as far as you know? Is there a chance that Sophia/Doc will replace his meet & greet?
Just a guess but Jake should stay around for a while. If anyone gets the axe for Sophia it would be either Handy Manny, Wreck-it Ralph or she goes into Hollywood and Vine.
Great. Thanks!
Thank you for your blog and all your information! Our family of six will be traveling to Florida and the Wonderful World of Disney in April. Do you anything about the DC Comic Characters available at Hollywood Studios? We had family members just visit in February and meet some of them. I would have a little boy whose day would be made.
There are no DC Comic or even Marvel characters in Disney Parks. Only thing similar is the Incredibles.
Marvel characters like Spiderman and Hulk are seen at Universal Islands of Adventure.
DC Comic characters like Superman and Green Lantern are Six Flags characters.
Will this schedual be the same one being used at the end of April?
There’s no way to know for sure, but it’s been very similar for a while now. Just small tweaks.
sophia is there now in hollywood studio!
She’s in Disney Jr stage show, not meet and greets
Any news of adding new Monsters (from Monsters U) into Character Palooza? I know they sometimes add the new characters during the Spring for their upcoming summer movies.
Not for Character Palooza. It’s possible they could move to the Animation building where Wreck-it Ralph is located, but unknown right now.

If the park opens at 8:00 for all guests- what time do Buzz & Woody start greeting?
As of now they always open at 9:15 am.

thanks!
Do the surprise characters appear if there is more than one Fantasmic show scheduled for the night? I see the info listed but it only discusses times before the first show. Love your blog…..very helpful….can’t wait to use it when I go in November 2014!!!!!!
Lately they have appeared at around 4:40 and 5:20. The 4:40 set seems pretty consistent on the Streets and I’ve heard a lot of reports of 5:20 at Echo Lake

Has the location for Characterpalooza changed? I thought I read it was in the Magic of Animation building but now see that it may be on the street in SOA and EL. I just want to make sure I plan ahead to be in the right place :0)
Yes, they recently moved it to Streets and Echo Lake. I need to update.

I’ve read that the Disney Jr Dance party only happens with extra magic hours but it’s never listed on the HS calendar. Is it always scheduled with EMH? We don’t want to miss it!!! Hoping it is on Sunday, April 28th, the only EMH night at HS during our trip
It’s every EMH night and always on MY show schedules

Thank you!!
Any word on Sofia meet & greet? I keep hearing that she has to be induced as a princess first. Any clue on when that might be happening. We are going the beginning of May.
Princess induction has nothing to do with appearances. She is supposed to appear by summer, but nothing solid yet.
How come Sophia the First will have possible meet and greets before Doc McStuffins? Doc Came out before Sophia… My girls want to meet both. Hopefully they will appear soon for meet and greets.
As of April 2013 there is no Doc meetable costume, but Sophia premiered her look at the Christmas parade.

Kenny, do the army guys sign? Thanks! Appreciate all your work!
Yes, army men sign. Ralph, Vanellope, Mike and Sulley don’t.
Thanks so much!
I’M DYING TO SEE SOFIA. SHE IS MY PRECIOUS BBY LOVE.
Read a article Sophia will start meet and greet soon. Any idea when?
Likely to be late may or early june.

Any word of what has been happening with Characterpalooza lately?
About 4:30 on Streets about 5:20 at Echo Lake on most days. Hasn’t happened on Saturdays.
I’m so glad I stumbled upon your blog. I have been to WDW twice when I was a teenager, but will be taking my 5 year old son for the first time next April. Thanks for all of the wonderful tips!
Sure! Glad to help! May I ask how you found the site?

Does Charactor Palooza happen on Star War Weekends?
I didn’t occur during SWW last year. I’ll let you know what I find tomorrow
