Most obscure character you've met?

**plutoboy** · 10-01-2009, 01:29 AM

When I was friends with the characters (96-2004) I saw Flower and Ratigan in the tunnels. They weren't going out to do meet and greets but had shown up as a surprise for a retiring cast member.

Gadget, Launchpad McQuack, Clarice, Bo Peep (from Toy Story) Donatello & April O'Neil (from the Ninja Turtles, @ MGM in the early 90s), Carmen and Fantail (fish from the Little Mermaid) Jose Carioca & Pachito, Maid Marian and Belle's Prince.

We had never seen all seven dwarfs until this year either. They were out with Snow (for a very limited time) at the MNSHP.

Jiminy has been regularly meeting guests for the last three or four years. He is at Rafiki's Planet watch currently but has also been regular at the Magic Kingdom.

Here is a list of rare characters my family has met:

The Lost Boys
Gaston
Hades
Little John (Robin Hood)
Max the dog (Little Mermaid)
Pain and Panic
Jack Skellington and Sally
Don Karnage
Stromboli
Clara Cluck
Clarice (female chipmunk)
Phil (from Hercules)
Kuzco (Llama form)
Cogsworth
Lumiere
The Dwarfs individually
Phoebus
Quasimodo
Esmerelda
Meg and Hercules
Kermit and Piggy
Jose and Panchito (I guess they are rare now)
Snow White Evil queen in hag form
Big Bad Wolf
Marie (even though rumor is that she will be appearing regularly starting very soon)

oohhh,I am jealous, I would love some muppet meets,especially animal,fozzie and kermit!

**Dawn,DeniseandDiane** · 10-03-2009, 03:15 PM

Kermit & Miss Piggy were really sweet! We got hugs from them in 2004, when we were in the Stars & Cars Motor Car Parade at MGM.(Now, HS). Little Bo Peep made sure to show us how to wave. We were able to meet w/ all of the characters before the parade started. It was a very memorable experience!

Our dream would be Megara and Esmerelda!

Good to hear Joanna. She is truly hard to find.

If your willing to run the half marathon you can possibly meet Esmerelda. She has been out in Epcot for at least the last two years but only participants can ask for a picture.
Meg is really only out for the Fantasmic shows these days.

**mudpuppysmom** · 10-09-2009, 04:28 PM

One day at MK a few years back we ran into a bunch of"odd ball" characters.....I tried looking for the pictures, but can't find them right now to even help id these guys....a couple I do recall: Mr. Penguin, Max, Launchpad and then there were a couple that I had no idea who they were.....one was a cat and I can't remember the other one now, but they were kinda scary!

We met and had photos w/him as well in "81! And met and photos w/King Louie too!

**Hayden's Dad** · 11-04-2009, 12:01 PM

Where has Meg been seen? We would love to meet her. We can probably shoot over when I get paid. I love being able to say that now that we are only 20 mins from AK!

**mastromjm** · 11-04-2009, 08:54 PM

I met Clarice, Launchpad, Jafar, White Rabbit, Esmeralda, Meg, all three Br'ers, and Bullseye!

AND SHANG!!! I haven't heard of too many people who have met Shang from Mulan!

**PainPanic** · 11-04-2009, 11:17 PM

I forgot Shang-- met him at the hat in 2002. I would love to meet Shan-Yu though!

The villains are the best, finally met Frollo this year- been hunting for him for a while now!

We had never seen all seven dwarfs until this year either. They were out with Snow (for a very limited time) at the MNSHP.

On our trip in October, I got a t-shirt made with Jiminy Cricket on it (from the t-shirt shop at DTD). One of the cast members in the park a few days later told me that he only comes out twice a year now...Earth Day and Christmas Day. So, you have to be at MK one of those days to see him.

Now, as far as meeting characters go, we don't usually stand in line for any of them, because we see it as kind of a waste of time. But this trip we met three we had never seen before, though i'm not sure how rare they are.

Frozone @ DHS
Thumper and Thumper's girlfriend - AK.

I didn't know the name of Thumper's girlfriend, and so I asked the handler, and she looked at me, and rather sheepishly said, "Yeah, I don't know either."

We wanted to meet Marie from Aristocats, and we had read in "The Complete Guide to Walt Disney World 2009" that she only appears at the ToonTown Fair on Thursday mornings. So, we went, and she wasn't there. We asked the CMs working the fair, and they looked really confused and said that they had never seen her out. Didn't even know that she was a character that could be greeted. Hmmm....

First off Jiminy, while a cool character is not a rare character. He is out everyday at Rafiki's Planet Watch and recently for the greater part of two years he also met on Main Street. I am not sure which CM you talked to If I had a dollar for every bit of incorrect info I have been given...but I digress. Frozone is also cool but not rare. Thumper and Miss Bunny are every day characters for now but they could go away and that would make them rare. Marie is now available in France at Epcot but not everyday.
I am not sure what the "Complete Guide" was thinking either but I have found that the guidebooks are somtimes very inaccuarate about character locations. The Toon Town Fair location they were refering to was I am certain the "teardrop" this location has no set dates or times and it is impossible to pinopoint any certain time any character would come out there.

This was way back in '03!

**mdhiggin** · 11-10-2009, 02:38 PM

We saw Jiminy Cricket on Saturday, two days ago, at Rafiki's Planet Watch as PP said. We had never seen him before. Of course, we had never ridden the train at AK to get there before either. After so many trips, we are still surprised to find things we have never done.
