The only times I've seen the characters on the rides, is first thing in the morning. Not sure if it's done everywhere, I've seen a number of them on the Winnie the Pooh ride though. Kind of cool to watch the cars pull up and the looks on the kids faces, when they see a character sitting inside waiting for them.

I can't say that I've ever seen characters on a ride before :mickey:

I've seen Mary Poppins ride Cinderella's Carousel, but that was like in mid-afternoon. She first rode with a MAW family, and then stuck around for a few more spins.

Last September they had a special "Little Ones" admission. Kids could ride in Fantasyland. I saw Mary Poppins on the Carosel and I saw Goofy (when toontown opened) on the Barnstormer.

they do have the emh for little ones again this year, and from what i understand they have a lot of characters doing things like riding rides with the kids, i hope we can be a part of it :mickey:

We got to ride the carousel with Mary Poppins in Dec '06!! It was the highlight of my trip!!! DD loved it too but I think it thrilled me more:mickey: It was in the afternoon and we just happened to luck out! We have also seen Alice and White Rabbit on the tea cups. I think it depends on what mood the characters are in!

We saw Jasmine and Aladdin on the Aladdin ride first thing in the morning! Very cool!

there are a few characters that are allowed to ride on rides...mostly the ones listed above, mary poppins, jasmine and alladin, tigger and pooh...if they are going to do it it's before they start their meet 'n greets for the day so late morning to early afternoon.

When I was "friends' with the characters and stil with Disney character on the rides was generally reserved for the first ride of the morning.

Some examples of who and where:

Goofy on the Barnstormer
Buzz Lightyear on Space Ranger Spin
Alice & Gang on Tea Cups
Pooh & Tigger on Pooh ride
Peter and Wendy on PP Flight
Brer Bear and Rabbit on Splash Mtn
Hook and Smee on POTC
Aladdin & Jasmine with Genie on Carpets

As mentioned this was usually first ride of the day with a family or small child. If you had a really fun greeter/escort you could get away with it durung the later hours as well.

How do you get the characters to ride with you? Is it luck or what? I would be very excited to ride anything with the characters and I know my son would too.

We just returned on Saturday night, that same day, about 10:30 AM we saw Alice and The Mad Hatter on the Teacups. Before they got on they changed the wait time sign from 10 min to 40 min! Everybody was laughing except a lady who walked up and screamed vey loudly in a very nasaly voice 40 MINUTES!!! It was palin as day that there was no line, but she was mad and was still not amused when someone told her it was a joke. Since then, everyso often one of us will hold our nose and scream 40 MINUTES!!! Just a little inside joke!

September 06 during Early Magic Hour for Toddlers, we rode Dumbo with Stitch. Kids were playing games with Snow White in Fantasyland and Peter Pan was taking kids on Peter Pan's Flight. There were probably more involved on the rides but this is what we saw. There were a lot of characters milling around Fantasyland during this time...more than usual.

If I remember correctly, this special hour occurred twice during our week long trip. It was first thing in the morning only at Magic Kingdom in Fantasyland.

Two years ago, my nephew rode Peter Pan's flight with Peter Pan. He still talks about it.

Mary Poppins did the same thing when I went in Dec. '06. She just rode it once & then posed for pics afterwards. Kinda cool. She is the only one I have seen on a ride.

It is luck, and being in the right place at the right time.

We got to ride the Barnstormer with Goofy :goofy:last year in October. It was the 1st ride of the day. We waited at the rope for about 20 minutes (we were the 1st ones there) & the cast members came up & said, "please don't run when the rope drops, please don't run when the rope drops!" When the rope drops, this guy comes out of the crowd behind us (carrying his son) & TAKES OFF RUNNING!!! I was so mad, but more disappointed for my dd9 because she would have been the person to be able to ride with Goofy if that guy hadn't broken the rules. If you happen to be at the rope drop & anticipate that a character will be on the ride you are heading to, please be nice & considerate of the people around you.

Last July, when Toon Town opened, we followed Goofy and he rode Goofy's Barnstormer. It was fun.

When I was in WDW April 2006, I saw a few characters on rides...Jasmine and Aladdin were on the magic carpet ride...and definitely not early morning (I remember how hot it was)..there were also charatcers actually on line with us for Peter Pans Flight...I'm not 100% sure - but I think it was Wendy and Peter Pan.....
I seem to remember others - but I'm getting old! I don't rememeber which rides!

I have seen Alice ride the tea cups and Goofy on the Barnstormer. I haven't gotten the chance to ride with a character, but one time Peter Pan and Wendy were in the Mickey's Philharmagic theater with us. They were right in the front row and were calling out things to the movie. It was fun!:mickey:
