Best Villain Spots

[Goofy0101]

Hey everybody,
I am a huge villain fanatic and was just wondering if anybody had some suggestions on where is the best place to find villains on normal days. I am especially interested in Maleficent. Thanks!

[PinKy]

The Studios is the best place! Sometimes you can even catch them for group photos there!

[Goofy0101]

Cool. Which villains are usually there?

[ASweetLov]

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.

No, she doesn't come out during EMH.

And she almost never comes out during regular hours anymore. She is just about a mnsshp character only now.

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????????

[Greenlawler]

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!

[Goofy0101]

Did you find Maleficent on a normal day? What time of the year? When did you meet Frollo?

[DisneyFreak1313]

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.

I have seen Captain Hook and Mr. Smee across from POTC.

one year i took a bunch of the grandkids and all of the villians were there, my grandkids were scared to death, it was hilarious. and the villians were not even trying to be nice.

We got autograph's from Cruella deville and the evil Snow White Queen near the teacups in MK one year.

[like2workout]

this past wed. afternoon (9/23) at hollywood studios i got a picture with ratcliff, queen of hearts, snow white's queen, and jafar all together in front of the hat at 5:00. i thought that was a great combination. another set was scheduled for 6 but i didn't go to that one so i'm not sure if the exact same ones came out or not.

[Villains0501]

u can find Snow Queen(ugh hate calling her that but its disney canon), Queen of hearts, Cpt. Hook, Jafar, Cruella, Frollo(my fav met him six times in the last 4 yrs;twice on 1 trip), and Maleficent. i think that's all but that's the best place especially since Hook and miffy are in their outfits for DAWM u can meet them all at MNSSHP

[Tinkpink]

Wil l there be a list available in the parks of character appearances? Or is it just bing in the right place at the right time?

Does the Pal Mickey announce character meet and greets?

[Villains0501]

A good place to meet some moderately rare villains are at the Magic of Disney Animation Building at 4:30. That meet and greet usually runs till 5. Although, now I've heard that on days without Fantasmic they especially make sure that Villains are out and about greeting in MG-(sorry) Hollywood Studios
