Lol. It’s updated frequently and the links take you to 2014 calendars. Where do you see 2013? The link on the day it started? Just click the calendar links
When Fantasmic is at 8:00 only, they come out from this area at 3:30 and head to streets of America. Where do they come out from at 4:30 for the Echo Lake pallooza?
Thank you so much for this post! We were there last week on the 30th. During our afternoon break I was looking for further information on characterpalooza to be sure that we didn’t miss it and I found this post! It was perfect. We enjoyed it and had so much fun. We have pictures with Max, Meeko, Captain Hook (my son was so excited!), one of the green army men (we were goofing around tryin to get him to move) and also Jasmine (she was by herself). We would’ve seen other characters but Jasmine wouldn’t let my daughter go – they were having so much fun! We saw Pinocchio, Gepetto, Chip, Dale, Mary Poppins, Minnie Mouse, Pocahontas and Bolt also walking around. We marked back with one of the army men – it was a blast! Thank you for all of the input! (your app was helpful while we were there also!)
On Monday they did it next to the entrance of the Backstage Tour. We sat on Streets of America and after 10 minutes thought it was cancelled. Just happened to be walking back that way and ran right into it. It created for a tremendous log jam near Midway Mania.
I really don’t like the roaming characters. I grew up going to Disneyland, and when I was a kid, you’d have people pushing their kid in front of you. Also, I have very few photos of characters and myself that are without one or two strangers. Add to this mix, people who may not speak English, or understand waiting for your turn. While I like random characters, I do not like a lack of a line.
Awesome pictures and videos! Characterpalooza is so awesome. I’ve met a bunch of uncommon characters there. I still haven’t met Genie though. He’s my favorite Disney character
Very fun and these videos are great to see. Sad they won’t be going on during the holidays but then again I have a feeling there will be a lot o fun things going on Dec 22-29! That will be that last week of Limited Time Magic right??
Thanks for posting a video of streets of america palooza. it helps understand where to head. will you post something for echo lake?
thanks for helping us plan our character hunting!
Are there usually photo pass photographers there with the characters during the palooza?
No
What are the times for character Palooza July 20 – July 25, 2014? And the locations.

I notice that all of this is from 2013. Is there an updated version for July 2014? (Especially now with Frozen being at HS)

If they do a 3:30 and a 4:30 pallooza, can you expect to see the same or different characters at each show?
Not a show. Meet and greets. Could be exactly the same, could vary. No way to know in advance.

Around Indiana Jones and Gerties Ice Cream
Love meeting characters and princesses
They were in front of Backlot again tonight (8/12)
Thanks for the update.

Do they hold Characterpalooza on Saturdays?
Loved this post, KTP!!! Will Characterpalooza be there September 5-7? Low attendance time so I wondered if they cut them.
Yes. See the post above this one for exact times.
Will it be outside in late Oct. I wonder?
Most likely it will be
Nice work as always, Kenny.

Nothing. We will try again tomorrow or friday.
No it was clear. It was a nice break though… Nice and shady and breezy. We will try again on Friday.
We sat on San Francisco street yesterday from 6-6:30 and no one came. :(
Did it rain or have potential lightning in the area before?

If they offer Limited Time Magic that week, it would be a yes.

I don’t have a video of them on Echo Lake, but when they shift back to split sets, I’ll get a video for you then!
Will the characters that roam let you take a pic with them or get your book signed?
Yes, you can see in the second video that guests are posing with them. It’s just not as organized as the set meets.
I love the look of total adoration on that little girl’s face with Pocahontas. So sweet!
Poca IS a pretty admirable woman, even to this day.
