Oh man! I'd love to get a pic with Jiminy. I am a pin trader, and I collect four kinds of pins:

1. Stitch
2. Epcot-themed
3. Patriotic
4. Jiminy Cricket!

I'm going to miss him by a week. Dang it!

The last 3 or 4 times we have gone there, we have seen him. Both in January and April. Is this some thing new?

Why are some of the characters limited in appearances?

How exactly does he appear and in what setting?

Why are some of the characters limited in appearances? Partially due to there being more characters available than Cast Members to be 'friends' with them. Partially a way for Disney to drive up demand for certain Meet & Greet opportunities by reducing their supply.


How exactly does he appear and in what setting? He looks much like he does in the movie, sans the umbrella. He is slightly taller than Mickey Mouse (for size comparison) due to his top hat. Didn't see any details from this year's appearance, but he typically has not received any back-drop or themed setting.

He was at Rafiki's Planet Watch for years, along with Pocahontas.
