Disney's Character Caravan
The Character
Caravan was discontinued on September 30, 2002. This feature was
replaced with
Extra Magic Hour.
Walt Disney World offers a new
experience for guests staying at Disney Resorts. The new program,
Disney's Character Caravan, features morning visits to the resorts by
Disney characters. The characters will greet guests and provide a
send-off as guests leave for the Disney theme parks. This experience
will offer guests additional opportunities to see the Disney
characters - one of the most popular requests by Walt Disney World
guests.
The characters vary by resort.
There is a minimum of 2 characters per resort. The characters can be
any of the following: Mickey, Minnie, Chip, Dale, Goofy, Donald,
Pluto, Pinocchio, Geppetto, Foulfellow, Gideon, Timon, Rafiki, Baloo,
King Louie, Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, Alice, White Rabbit, Tweedle Dee,
and Tweedle Dum. The characters are generally sent to the resort they
theme the best.
