Characters you have not met

[Greenlawler]

I am new to these boards so forgive me if this is a repeat. Here is a list of characters other people have found that my family just can't get lucky enough to find. We know there out there were just not at the right place at the right time. I also know these are pretty rare, but from the time we arrive till the time we leave we are trying to meet characters.
7 dwarfs (although we have a group picture no autographs) Three Little Pigs, Marie, Strombolli, Little John, Clara Cluck

But we have had some recent vicotries by finding: Jiminy Crickett, Rabbit, The Sheriff of Nottingham (major brownie points with 4 year old son) Gaston and finaly finding Dopey after years of missing him.

Who do you keep missing?

i can't seem to ever find governor radcliffe from pocahontas! i know he's been out in the past, but i've never run into him. i keep thinking he'll be out at the halloween party since there are a lot of villains out, but i haven't had any luck there either.

[Greenlawler]

Nice one. Thanks for posting I thought I was in for the cricket treatment. Last time I saw Radcliff was back in I think 05 when after the Castle show many obscure characters would come out for meet and greets afetr the show. Then also that year at the MNSSHP but they have really cut back on the villians that come out for that.

i met marie this past march for the first time. she was at france right along with sleeping beauty. since that was so recent, maybe you'll have luck finding her. i also have a picture with stromboli from about 5 years ago. it's the first and only time i've ever seen him out. he was in the town square area of magic kingdom, and no one was with him at all. maybe people didn't recognize him, so i walked right up and got my picture. i'm glad to have that one as he seems to be very rare. i'm also looking for the others you mentioned. please keep me posted if you find them. where did you meet gaston?

I have heard of Stromboli coming out every once in a while in one of the "training areas" and also in the square at MK with other Pinochio characters. In fact a friend of mine who works with the characters told me that we missed him at MGM by a day last year.

We met Gaston after Beauty and the Beast show for a special deal. I also heard that every blue moon the Robin Hood crew replaces the Pinochio crew in the square of Magic Kingdom. Wish we could catch them there as we are trying to catch Little John.

I am not complaining because we love all the characters but I wish they would rotate out some of the unusual characters with different ones, we have dozens of pictures of Gephetto, King Louie, and others, but have never seen some great characters.

Maybe someone can clear this up, when you go and ask for the people at Guest services to call and ask about specific characters, do they know about which "training characters" are coming out, those are the best places to find rarities.

Actually, the Pinocchio characters do not rotate with Robin Hood characters. And no, GR does not know about the special- area characters.

Thanks for the answer I suspected as much on GR.

I really wish they would change up the characters more often. We go every year and I am indeed thankful we can aford it. I know I am beating a dead horse but it would mean alot if they would just switch out for example the afore mentioned Pinochio characters one day with characters froma different flick. I can understand the Big 5 and Daisey Chip and Dale being everywhere, but the other characters? I wish someone higher up would hear my plea.

We just got back from DW yesterday --and it was truly magical.

We had the pleasure of meeting Clarice and Kenai. Please let me know if these are truly rare characters to be seen!!

Thanks,
Lynn

Kenai is pretty common actually. He can be found a lot in Canada. Clarice, however, is a bit more rare.

So Joanna who do you keep missing?

p.s. I saw a picture of Luwing Von Drake the other day someone had posted now there is a rare character!

[The Flying Dutchman]

The Mrs. and I got a picture with Launchpad McQuack on our visit. Is this a rare character?

[NJBelle]

I've wanted to meet Jane from Tarzan. never did though.

We met Flick once. We didn't get a chance to have a picture because a CM was rushing the guy to a closed off erea. But it was cool to give him a hug any way.

Off Topic Question: Where can I meet Donald? I never see him.

I would have to go with Rabbit. Even though I have a picture with him, I would love to see him again.

He isn't rare. He just isn't very common.

He can be found in:
*Toontown
*Hat at MGM in the morning
*Mexico at Epcot
*Camp Minnie-Mickey at AK
*Chef Mickey's dining at Contemp.
*Donald's Breakfastasarus at AK (changing locations)

I'm missing a few, really. But most of the ones I miss deals mostly with me not getting up early enough to get them.

Like Mad Hatter (mostly out in mornings, from what I've been told)
Kenai ( I rarely visit Epcot any more)
Panchito (see above)
Jiminy (same of AK)
Flik (same)
The Princes (stupid P&P...aren't princes royalty too?? )
Tarzan cast
Hercules cast

So yeah, there are a few and others I didn't list. Those ones are a priority right now. I was glad to finally get Clarabell and Horace because their last set is usually around noon, and for some odd reason I was at MK like 9 am.
