Totals

Not as many new characters this trip: Phineas and Ferb, Mr. Penguin, Max, Rapunzel, the Fairy Vidia, Meeko from Pocohontas, Agent Oso, Little Einsteins - Leo, June, Quincy, and Annie. Those 11 plus the previous 71 = 81 characters.

Hollywood & Vine Character meal








Hollywood and Vine hosts the Playhouse Disney Character meal at Lunch. We met June and Leo of the Little Einsteins, Handy Manny, and Agent Oso (who doesn't do meet and greets anywhere else.)

Hollywood Studios













We hit the motherload at Hollywood studios. Phineas and Ferb were 2 new characters. Lightening McQueen and Mater had a new Cars2 backdrop. We met all 4 Little Einsteins in the Disney Junior courtyard (formerly Playhouse Disney.) Then we happened upon Mr. Penguin from Mary Poppins, and Goofy's son Max in Magic of Disney Animation. (Pinocchio, Gephetto, Chip and Dale, Minnie and Pluto, Pooh, The Incredibles, and Frozone were also there because it was raining.)

Camp Minnie-Mickey





We saw the usual characters at Camp Minnie-Mickey plus Mr. & Mrs. Bunny (again), Chip and Dale, and new character Meeko from Pocahontas.

Magic Kingdom















We met the newest Princess, Rapunzel from the movie Tangled in Belle's storybook garden. With the Toontown remodel, the Fairies were reloacted to Adventureland. This time we met Tinkerbelle (in a much more conservative outfit) and her friend Vidia. The princesses and Mickey (plus Minnie) were relocated to the Exposition hall. Fast Passes were added so there was no more waiting in line to see them. Hooray!





Pirates and Pals Fireworks voyage




We went back to Disney September 2011. Our first night we went on the Pirates and Pals Fireworks voyage. We met Capt Hook and Mr. Smee before we sailed off on the 7 seas lagoon to wash Wishes. Then Peter Pan greeted us back at the dock.

The Fairies

1900 Park Fare Character Dinner









All of Cinderella's "family" in one place.

Rainy Day at Magic Kingdom





Lady Tremain and Cinderella's step sisters were near her castle. Fairy Godmother was across from them also near the caslte (but I won't include repeat pic). We later found Peter Pan flying around there as well. We had to hunt for the new Princess Tiana and Naveen the frog who were supposed to be near Liberty Square. Finally, we found them at Exposition hall along with a bunch of other characters that had moved in from the rain (including Santa, Pooh&Tigger, and Woodland Donald).

Ohana character breakfast









No new characters, but it was a great breakfast with Lilo, Stitch, Pluto, and Mickey in a Hawaiian shirt.

New Characters at Hollywood Studios








We saw the usual Toy Story characters, Cars, and Monsters, but I didn't include the pictures since they were basically the same from the year before. Rachel also met a Green Army man patrolling the line for Toy Story Mania. Frozone along with Dug, Russell, and Mr. Fredrickson were at Magic of Disney Animation. Handy Manny was in Playhouse Disney courtyard.

Magic Kingdom Characters









Woodland Donald and Scrooge McDuck were seasonal characters in Fantasyland. The Queen of Hearts and White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland were near the Teacups. We found Buzz in Tomorrowland, and Woody with his friend Jessie in Frontierland.

1900 Park Fare










Breakfast at 1900 park fare in the Grand Floridian includes Pooh and Tigger, Cinderella (picture was blurry so not included), Alice and the Mad Hatter. We'd met Alice and Mary Poppins 3 times already and I can't even count how many times we've run into Pooh and Tigger, but we were there to meet the Mad Hatter.
