World Showcase Character Sightings

Who has seen who where? This is who I've seen:

China - Mushu
Mexico - Donald
France - The Beast
Italy - Gepetto, Foul Fellow, and Gideon
America - Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Chip & Dale
Mrocco - Aladdin & Jasmine



Also, who is usually on the character bus. I'm going back to WDW in Oct for the first time in six years, and I'm planning on spending a lot of time in World Showcase.

Re: World Showcase Character Sightings

I've seen Snow White and the Dwarfs in Germany.

When I was on my college program, some friends came to visit me on Spring Break and we literally stumbled upon the Beast in the back of France. There was no one else around so my friend asked if he would dance with her - they re-enacted the ballroom scene from the movie - it was adorable!

I know that Dopey was on the character bus, because I had my picture taken with him!

My sister and I just "stumbled" upon the Beast to. To bad he can't give autographs, and we didn't have a camera with us.

Re: World Showcase Character Sightings

Last two trips we saw Mickey, Minnie, Chip and Dale, Rafiki (sp) Pluto, Hook, Goofy and Baloo. I think it varies from time to time.

Re: World Showcase Character Sightings

I thought they got rid of the character bus, because I haven't seen it in a while. And on that note, I haven't seen any disney characters at the countries...I guess I am just unlucky! :(

Re: World Showcase Character Sightings

Finding characters in the country is not easy. They won't be standing out front waving their arms at you. When we stumbled upon Aladin my first thought was that he was just a CM working in the area. I wasn't until I saw his red hat that I realised Hey that was Aladin.

France - Esmerelda, Sleeping Beauty, Belle and Beast, The 3 Musketeers (Mickey, Donald & Goofy)
Morrocco - Aladin, Genie and Jasmine
Japan - NONE
American Adventure
Italy - Gepetto, Pinnochio, Foul Fellow & Gideon
Germany - Snow White
China - Mulan
Norway - NONE
Mexico - NONE

As for the Character Bus there are severral characters that appear daily.

I don't remember that at all. When was that? I am sorry. If you put a red carnation in your button hole next time then I'll keep an eye out for you

Re: World Showcase Character Sightings

I saw Mulan and Mushu in China
that's all We have never been lucky stumbling upon characters, that's why we buy our way in to see them at the Crystal Palace for example

Re: World Showcase Character Sightings

We saw the bus when we first entered but not the rest of the day, pretty bumbed by that one. As we got near the bus, they began to load up and left.

While in WS, we saw

Germany - Snow White
Italy - Gepetto, Gidean and Jiminy Cricket
China - Mulon
The Land - Mickey, Chip, Dale and Pluto

This year I am determined to look at the M&G schedule to find that bus!

Re: World Showcase Character Sightings

Can you explain the Character Bus more? Do you get to ride on it with the characters? Where is it located?
