Hey everybody,

The Studios is the best place! Sometimes you can even catch them for group photos there!
Cool. Which villains are usually there?
So far I have only been able to catch 2 villains. Captain Hook near the Pirates ride and Evil Witch under the hat. I cought them both in July 2007. I have only been to Disney twice and can't wait for my third trip next year, maybe I will find more villains because my sister would love that!
That's awesome, thanks.
Does anyone have any info on Maleficent coming out on normal days? I heard she comes out in Fantasyland now and then during EMH. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks a lot.
Thanks. How about Jafar or Frollo?
frollo and jafar are both out at the halloween parties. that's the only time i ever see frollo for meets, but i see jafar every visit in front of the hat at mgm. it seems like it's always later in the afternoon when i see him there. good luck!
Thanks I'll need it. Lol!
So no one has seen Frollo out on normal days?
I have seen Jafar in front of Morocco near Jasmine and Genie.
O cool when was that?
It was in 2005. He was the only character to this day that my daughter (then 3) would not go up to . He is rather tall with rather long fingers. He was motioning to her with his fingers to come to him but she wouldn't. We have some great photos of her keeping her distance from him. She doesn't remember much from that trip but she remembers THAT. I don't know if he still meets there.
Maleficent - Only at MNSSHP
Hades - Very, very impossible to find
Queen of Hearts - Sometimes at MK and DHS, always at MNSSHP
Snow Queen - Used to be at DHS but recently stopped
Jafar - Sometimes appears at DHS and Epcot
Ratcliff - Last I saw him was at DHS
Captain Hook - Regularly appears besides POTC ride
Frollo - Mostly only at MNSSHP, rarely spotted at France.
Occassionally, these guys will appear outside of their normal times if it's a special meet.
K thanks for the info I really needed it.
The villians may not be out at MGM anymore. Now that DSMC has ended, they may not come out anymore.
Oh I heard a rumor that they were gonna keep coming out despite the cancellation of the parade.
Other than parades i agree DHS is probably the best placefor a meet and greet second choice would be MK in my opinion but what does everyone else think????????
Ratcliff has been doing meet and greets at Animal Kingdom at the "Oasis".
Oh and as far as other villains the teardrop has been a popular hangout for Prince John and The Good Sheriff of Nottingham. You can also run into Pinochio villains there if your lucky enough to hit it right.
I have met all the villians above mentioned all at different times of the year though.....I think it really just was a hit or miss thing.......
I have met, Old Hag (DL), Frollo (HS), Jafar (MK), Gov Ratcliffe (MK), Maleficient (MK), Queen of Hearts (MK), Snow Queen (MK), Captain Hook (MK), Big Bad Wolf (MK), Gideon & Foulfellow (MK), Stromboli (MK), Cruella (MK), Prince John & Sherrif of Nottingham (MK), Lady Tremaine & Stepsisters (MK).
That is all I can think of right now.....there may be more....this is just on my trips, I don't know any CM's personally just happened to be in the right place at the right time!
Did you find Maleficent on a normal day? What time of the year? When did you meet Frollo?
I met Maleficient on a normal day in Sept, yes. We were waiting to see which characters came out in the afternoon and she just walked out from backstage.
I met Frollo the same time I met Herc, Meg & Phil it was in April....it was a preparade meet by the turnstiles in HS....I only saw this happen once though.....
Your best bet, if you want to meet characters is to go at BUSY times of the year....especially Christmas & Easter...this is when we met most of our "rarities" as they bring out lots of greets during these heavy times.
Awesome, Thanks. Where specifically did you meet Maleficent?
In front of the train station on the turnstile side at MK (in front of the flowers)......I am not sure if they do greets there in the afternoon anymore
Thanks, your an awesome help.
You know how Maleficent is in the current castle show? Have you ever heard of her doing greets before or after the show?
Nope, not that I am aware of......sorry!....Best bet is at mnsshp
I was working on day last month and was looking through a child's autograph book, and noticed Maleficent's signature there. The kid explained that she had caught her out at Toontown Teardrop...but that is DEFINATELY a rare rare raaaaaaaare thing to occur, I know. ;)
Your best bet is definatelly Halloween for villians. I think the Tremaines are the only face villians who are out daily.
Last Sept we saw some at the hat. MNSSHP is the best time. Especially Maleficent!
I've heard people talk about meeting them at Toon Town for photos ops. Is that out now too?
:(
On April 20th, at 5:00 PM, The Queen of Hearts and the Snow Queen appeared together at Hollywood Studios near the Sorcerer's Hat.
I have seen Captain Hook and Mr. Smee across from POTC.
I think the Hat ones are great. On 2 different ocassions, here is who I saw:
1) Jafar, Snow Queen, Sheriff, and Gov. Ratcliffe
2) Snow Queen, Jafar, Sheriff, and Prince John
Like Mushugrl said earlier, we've met several villains in past years in the meet/ greet area near where you meet Mickey. I'm not sure if they're still appearing there. We've only seen Maleficent in shows.:malef:
I forgot to add to the above post, "in the meet/ greet area where you meet Mickey in Toontown.":mickey:
Yes, the ones that are back there are usually the ones going through Training. Toontown is the main location for that.
