I began the morning hoping that all 7 of the fairies that Disney listed would be available in one meet. Wouldn’t that be awesome to meet Tink, Fawn, Iridessa, Terance, Vidia, Rosetta and Silvermist all at once? f(Periwinkle isn’t supposed to appear at all due to the hot weather melting her wings.) Well, it didn’t turn out quite like that. I’m glad that Walt Disney World is doing these type events, but a little more forethought into the guest expectations and experience would prove helpful. Who would like to spend their entire vacation standing in the same line over and over and over in hopes of finding their favorite fairy? I personally have met them all except Silvermist, so I hoped to get that over in one or at least two meets. I asked the managers standing by in the room if they could tell me at least what day Silvermist would be available and they were typically coy. They talked about “magic” and no one knows when fairies fly in, blah, blah, blah. Super nice people, but not helpful at all! I would at least like to know WHAT DAY she’ll be out. I’m glad that I was already planning to come down to Walt Disney World to take photos for the new app and the new website we’re developing at www.characterlocator.com.
The fairies will not autograph your book for this special week. Instead they offer a special leaf shaped card that has all the autographs on it. I really like the leaf design and some of the names are really shiny too.
Tinker Bell was meeting with Fawn on the left side of the room. They were really funny and very chatty. We discussed inventions that help you not fall down in a babbling brooke. I told Tink about this new thing called a “bridge” and she took mental notes. Fawn said it would even help her animals cross the brooke.
We had to decided which fairy my tshirt would point toward before taking the photo. Tink said Fawn is a bigger “character” than she.
Vidia and Rosetta were meeting together. Rosetta told me she LOVES spring time. She loves how HER Magic Kingdom looks so bright and vibrant after she places all the flowers in just the right place. Vidia said in her typical condescending tone that she could plant those flowers MUCH faster, but she doesn’t really like flowers. The pollen itches her delicate nose. She asked if I knew were a local Sour Plum Tree might be located.
Limited Time Magic events are fun little additions to the daily schedule, but I wouldn’t fly down from New York just to HOPE to meet a certain fairy. If you’re in town this week, drop in and see who you might find. Maybe I’ll find Silvermist before I leave later this week?
I’ve met the Fairies when they were over where Storybook Circus is now. Out of the times I’ve been there, I’ve only met Tink, Rosetta, Fawn and Terrance. It was okay, but I had a great story for Iridessa. I think they keep her and Silvermist hidden for some unknown reason. I would have loved to tease Vidia about her being mean to Tink all the time.
Funny story when visiting Pixie Hollow for the first time, which you can find in one of my YouTube channels (not sure if linking is permitted, just search for “You’ve Got Character”)
OT: You’re from New York too?!? Dude, we’ve got to network.
Just came from MK. Met Tink, Irridessa, Fawn and Silvermist at about 1:30pm…very long line. May go back tonight to try and find Terrance!
are you putting these times and rotation info on the app? I sure hope so!
Unfortunately, I don’t know the full schedule for the Fairies. I had some friends tip me off when Silvermist would be there on Wednesday to help me complete the collection.

Would you happen to know if I should be trying early or late on Sunday, if looking for Silvermist?
On Monday I saw Tink, Fawn, Terence and Vidia. I went back Tuesday morning hoping to meet different fairies. There was Tink, Iridessa, Terence and Vidia. I asked the castmember if I got back in line again, would I be able to catch different fairies and she said I might be able to. No such luck, the same four fairies. I was really hoping to see Silvermist because she was the only one I hadn’t seen yet. Wednesday I tried again.
The castmember recognized me from the day before (twice through the line). She gave me a break and said if I come back after 5:30 there would be a new fairy, and there was another new fairy there now. There was Tink, Iridessa, Vidia and Rosetta. That meant the new fairy had to be Silvermist! Then it dawned on me! The fairies start their shift at 9:00, 5:30 is the end of their shift. That meant there was a possibility I could see Silvermist, Terence and Fawn when the second shift starts. I got back in line at 5:00 and sure enough, at 5:15 the line stopped. 5:15 is when you clock out when you are scheduled until 5:30. At 5:30 the line started up again. Definitely a shift change. When I got back into the room…
Tink, Silvermist, Terence and Fawn. I got to see all seven fairies in a single day! So if you go early to see the fairies, try again after 5:30 when the second shift starts and there’s a good chance you will see different characters the second time through.
Wednesday from 5:30 to 6:45 & 10:00-was the only shift for Silvermist. She’ll be back Saturday and Sunday. There’s usually only one or two different Fairies rotating about each hour.
Tried twice again Wednesday morning. Met 6/7. No Silvermist. We give up too!
So far I’ve come across Tink, Rosetta, and Vidia all 3 times. Luckily, the 4th fairy changed each time, so I’ve also seen Fawn, Terence, and Iridessa. Since Disney has decided in this case that their trademark “superior guest service” is best utilized by “keeping everyone in the dark and ticking people off”, I have no intention of returning for Silvermist. I’ve already spent 2 1/2 hours in that line (over the course of 2 days, no less), and I can’t justify spending another 45 minutes to an hour for the 25% chance that I meet the remaining “rare” fairy. So far I’ve gotten pretty lucky, so I’m going to quit while I’m still ahead.
Leaf envy!
Tues am it was Tink/Iridessa along with Vidia/Rosetta then Terrence.
Thanks Rebecca!
We played fairy roulette today. Waited 45-60min each time. At 4:30 it was Tink with Fawn and Vidia with Terrence. At 10pm it was Tink with Terrence and Vidia with Rosetta. It drives me crazy that the CMs won’t let on which fairies its going to be. We will be at RD tomorrow hoping for Silvermist.
We met Silvermist with Tink & Fawn at mnsshp-we hope to meet a few more this October trip !
