The characters for Character Palooza arrived right on time at 5:10 PM on the Streets of America. The majority of them were on San Francisco street. We met the Queen of Hearts, Pinocchio, Jasmine, Snow Queen, Jessie, Mary Poppins, Snow White and Pocahontas. We didn’t try to meet: Mulan, Captain Hook, Chip n Dale or the Green Army Men.
The only characters that appeared that don’t offer regular meets are: Captain Hook, Pinocchio, Queen of Hearts and Snow Queen.
In other news, I’ve updated the Master Character List so you can see ALL meets including those that are rare or uncommon characters. This info is also now available by clicking the Pirate icon on the Character Locator app.
Click any pic for a larger view. They were all taken with my cell phone because my camera isn’t working properly :(
We are going tomorrow. What time should we try and be over there? My daughter is queen of hearts for Halloween and we would love the chance for a pic
I’m going to try for 3:00 on streets. No guarantee on time or which characters may appear
Hours were extended and a second Fantasmic added today. 4:30 only at Streets

Should be Streets, but will confirm tomorrow.
I experienced my first Character PaLooza yesterday, Oct. 9, 2013. It was awesome! Characters present were Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, Pinocchio, Stitch, Bolt, Jesse, Minnie Mouse, Chip & Dale, Mulan, Pocahontas & Meeko, and two Green Army Men.
Kenny,
Going to HS 10/13 and 10/18. Not sure when character palooza is on this night because Fantasmic is at 7:30 and 9:00 and that doesn’t match your hours of 8:00. Noticed that according to your recent news though that Friday, 10/18 there will be 3 character palooza’s that day. Is that right? Would I be more apt to see the evil snow queen on the 18th than the 13th? Really want to meet her. Do the same people come out for every set? Thanks for all of your info. Love your site!
News specifically relates to ONE 7:30 pm show, not to 9:00 pm show night. Still digging for info. Basically they try to start around 4.5 hours early.
I have no idea what days Queen Grimhilde will appear at Palooza. Characters are random there. Only guaranteed at MNSSHP
Thanks for the tips, Kenny! We were the Bama fans at character palooza on the 4th waiting down the curb from you. It was a highlight of our trip!
We were able to catch the 5:10 character palooza on 10/6 and or was awesome. My daughter was able to meet and have pictures taken with Mulan, Pinocchio, Aladdin, and others. I have read about it many times and we go to WDW at least twice a month, but this was our first palooza and I was blown away. Thanks for the tips, keep them coming.
HS is only open 9-6 on Sat, 10/19 for some private event. Do you think they will still have CharacterPalooza????
Nope
For a 7:30pm Fantasmic, what time is CharacterPalooza on? Thank you!
I don’t know yet
Also is it always held outside? I know it was inside before.
Yes, at this time it’s only outside
We go Oct. 20th and 24th to DHS and I was trying to figure out how character palooza will work. 20th F! Is at 7:30 and 9:00 and the 24th F! Is 7:30 only.
I’m not sure yet. I only post the schedules when I know what’s going on.
When do you expect Characterpolooza to end for the season?
Character Palooza will not be presented from November 3, 2013 to March 8, 2014.
It’s on the Character Palooza page.
