| NOTE: Peter Pan is now meeting next to Peter Pan’s Flight in Fantasyland and WENDY has joined him!
NOTE: Tiana’s schedule is determined by the hours of the day. She will stay out as late as 9 pm. Just ask a character attendant what time she’ll close for the day. Naveen appears beginning at 5:00pm.
NOTE: Use FASTPASS to meet the Princesses and to meet Mickey. Mickey’s FASTPASS is considered “unconnected” and can be obtained at the exact same time as the Princesses!I’ve had many questions concerning the Magic Kingdom’s 8:00 am standard (non Extra Magic Hours) openings and which characters appear during that 8:00-9:00 time frame. Here’s a list of characters that SHOULD (all appearances subject to change without notice) appear on a regular 8:00 am opening day.

should the character schedules be the same for the end of January and first week of February?
Probably, unless something dramatic happens, but do check back to make sure.
Do you know if Rapunzal is in Epcot now?
Fairy Godmother and the Tremaine Family no longer meet behind the castle. They now meet at the entrance to new Fantasyland. Learned that one today the hard way! Waited around for Fairy Godmother until she was 30 min late and someone finally figured out she had moved locations.
That’s temporary while they remove lights from castle. They are all behind castle, just next to new wall
Good to know! The lady that was waiting next to us started crying bc she missed her. I just came back later to the correct location. Not anything to get that upset about. 😀
Only for Halloween and Christmas Parties
I noticed when I would print this out, it was huge, using a bit of paper from my printer. I condensed the info you have so I could print it on two pages (or duplex it). You can even use it for a template and change it up in the future if you like. Anyway, thought I would share since you shared with me! Hope it comes in handy with your visitors!
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnSvRIWasvHBdHViZTdRR2d0V2JCYXdiZzFjMVU0akE&usp=sharing
I used to have it laid out for print, but changed it so it would be mobile phone friendly.
Easiest thing is to copy into excel side by side
When we were at MK a couple of months ago we wanted to see Tink and Periwinkle. We waited in line first thing after MK opened. When we got in only Tink was in there with no other fairy. We are going to be there again this weekend and hope to see Periwinkle, but don’t want to wait in line if she isn’t going to be there again. Was that normal for Tink to be alone first thing in the morning or was something strange just happening?
Not usual, but Periwinkle will not be guaranteed after Feb 21
I was watching the live show yesterday at MK of Kelly and Michael and there was something I have never seen before?! A Dumbo!!! A walking blinking adorable Dumbo!!! Have you seen this before?! Is it going to be doing a meet and greet?! Also there was the blinking talking Mickey. Lease let me know if can find anything out about this Dumbo!! I need to meet him!!!
Jenn,
Talking Mickey has been around a couple of years, they use him in the Castle stage show daily and the Welcome Show. He’s been meetable a few times on rare occasions and may appear some this summer.
He was first introduced at the Grand Opening of New Fantasyland in December on the Castle stage, but hasn’t been out since. He’s pretty awesome looking and I wish I had been there to get photos while he was leaving the stage

I just found your site and am sucked in
We are going to Disney World very soon and I have 3 girls that will probably want to see every single princess (yeah, good luck us
).
I’m still kind of confused with how to meet them. You said there is a fastpass for meeting them right at the entrance? But they are also all around Magic Kingdom? So I could either get the fastpass and see them all at once or I have to wait in line at every single one throughout the park?
Would you mind explaining this. I am so confused. Thank you
Fastpass at MK is only for Rapunzel, Cinderella and Aurora. (And Mickey with separate FP) Snow White, Mary Poppins, Merida, Tiana, Jasmine can also be met in MK Epcot is a nice place to meet them and I have a plan for those on the blog Pocahontas is only at Animal Kingdom

How often do these character schedules change? Month to month? Is this schedule applicable last week of April/first week of May? Thanks!!
There’s no way to know when they will change in advance. They tend to be similar
Is Flynn Rider ever at the park I would Love to meet him
Usually only for parties or special events
So with the parks doing a 7 A.M. EMH this week, do the EMH characters start at 7:00 too? I plan to be in the Kingdom on Saturday.
Are Brer Bear and Brer Fox by Splash Mountain anymore? My 7 year old loves the stories and wants to meet them.
No they haven’t been there for quite a while. Best bet is Frontierland hoedown or Epcot training meet
Will Alice and White Rabbit be on hiatus while the Teacups are refurbished? Our visit falls in that timeframe.
No they still meet then
I have heard there is a nice grand opening ceremony at the gate when park opens and all characters show up there? someone told me that is the best way to see them all together in one go!
Magic Kingdom Welcome show happens every day about 10 minutes before the earliest opening time. You won’t see all the characters, but there are many that appear. Not a meet and greet, just a small show.
On Mon, Apr 15, 2013 at 11:21 PM, Kennythepirate's Disney Character
Do any of these characters appear in MK… Tweedles, Mr Smee, Capt Hook & Wendy ?
Only if it’s a rare, random meet
Can see them in parades though
We were at MK on Monday & saw Tigger & Pooh outside the Winnie the Pooh ride. But by the time my 4 yo plucked up the courage to go meet them they were done for the day. Going back tonight (Wed) for parade & fireworks & hoped to get there a little early to see them, but checked the schedule on the MyDisney app and T & P aren’t mentioned! Do they appear every day or is it their day off?!? Thanks
Appear every day. Disney’s app is a piece of junk, btw.

what is EMH? and i would love the schedule listed by area of park vs character alphabetization if someone wants to add a link to a spreadsheet made of that lol ie) adventureland, frontierland, etc
Extra magic hour morning for hotel gusts only.
Sort by name, land and next meet will be possible in new app, and site to come, but not here. It’s just too much work to maintain at the moment. Perhaps in the future.
If someone posted an excel file, it would be out of date by the time it was shared most likely. Schedules change.
Hi Kenny,
Do you know where the Magic Kingdom Welcome show happens?
Is it inside the park once you enter after buying the ticket or can it be seen from outside at the gate without entering?
Reason I ask is because I am staying off-site and the day I am going they have EMH so the show wil be 1 hour earlier.
If it is inside the park, no point going early because I wont be able to enter without a Disney resort id.
However, once in there, I dont think they will kick us out at 9pm when evening EMH begins.
But I read somewhere they dont let you go on any rides without a resort id. are they really strict about it?
Do you think I will be able to do anything during the evening EMH?
By the way, you are doing a great job of answering everyone’s questions here. Its a BIG help.
It’s always 10 minutes before the earliest park opening time. It doesn’t repeat on EMH days, just the one before EMH begins. It’s on the SHOW Schedules on the top of the blog.
http://kennythepirate.com/show-schedules/
It’s shown at the Train Station where the Mickey Floral is, but not sure why you’d want to see it from there. If you’re going on and EVENING EMH day, the start the show at 8:50 for everyone. If you are going on a MORNING EMH day they start the show at 7:50, but it’s only for resort guests because non resort guests can’t board the monorail until regular hours.
They won’t kick you out for Evening EMH, but you won’t be allowed to ride anything. They are very strict. All you’ll be able to do is walk around and take photos.
Glad to help.

Do any of the characters who come out for the Frontierland Hoedown sign autographs or pose for pictures?
Lately they have been meeting after the Hoedown, but there’s no guarantees, especially in hot weather.

Great – thank you! My boys are dying to meet these guys and we’re hoping to see them next week!
Do you happen to know of a good site/blog I can get detailed info on Disneyland character info?
Thanks
There isn’t one, but I have lists under characters at the top.
Just thought I’d point out, you have the Cinderella’s Royal Table characters listed for the Crystal Palace as well. I almost had a heart attack thinking they’d switched out the Winnie the Pooh characters. (I’m surprising my best friend with breakfast there on our trip and she’d be heartbroken not to see Tigger)
Do you mean on the character meals list? If so, I may have copied the wrong link inadvertantly.
Yes, the list on this page. It reads this:
Cinderella Royal Table Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Cinderella, Ariel, Aurora, Jasmine, Snow White, Fairy Godmother (rare)
Crystal Palace Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Cinderella, Ariel, Aurora, Jasmine, Snow White, Fairy Godmother (rare)
It would be so awesome and helpful if you would put PM and/or AM after the times for the characters so that we know the exact times! This website is so helpful and awesome! Thank you!
So if I read it right, are the stepsisters, Lady Tremaine, and the Fairy Godmother all meeting together now?
No, just similar areas. Sometimes the may appear behind castle and sometimes by the wall. Depends on shade.
