Update: Long-lost Friends Week character meet and greet hours are said to be 9:00 am to 2:10 pm in Town Square
As I reported to you earlier in the week, Walt Disney World’s first “Long Lost Friends Week” will take place January 21-27 at the Magic Kingdom. Disney has officially stated that the Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, The Three Little Pigs, Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow will be appearing. They promise other “surprises.” Hopefully those surprises include some that I mentioned earlier (Pinocchio group, Ludwig Von Drake and Scrooge McDuck). I could live without the Pinocchio group if it means getting some more really rare characters for a week.
What rare character would you like to see?

Luckily met all 5 groups during the 1st 2 sets. The characters were doing 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off, and it seemed to me that tons of people stayed in line during the 30 "off" minutes, just waiting for characters to come back out. Character attendants were letting people get in line while warning them that the characters would leave before they got to them, and wouldn't be back for half an hour, but that did not stop a lot of people from waiting.
Very crowded, very popular.
