Thank you so much for posting this. Do any characters meet at the all stars, pop century, or art of animation? Also, some of the outfits seemed to duplicate (ex: AK lodge, wilderness lodge, and yacht/beach), so do you happen to know if ones such as port Orleans, Coronado springs, Saratoga springs, and old key west duplicate as well?
Nope only the ones listed
Kenny, Does the security at the resorts give non guests a hard time getting into the resorts if they’re not staying there?
Only at some pools
Thanks for this post, i finally met santa stitch thanks to this!! :) also where can I find christmas phineas and ferb?
Hollywood Studios
Do you have this character schedule for 2014?

Thanks! Glad I was able to run into you at the Yacht Club on Saturday night. :)
Great meeting you
Thanks for the helpful schedule. Was glad to get to see you last night at the Yacht Club!
Ooohhh. I’m taking a friend to the Orlando airport Saturday morning, and I was thinking about lunch at DTD or Sanaa and maybe going to a park by myself, but now I’m thinking maybe I should resort hop. Thanks, Kenny!
Welcome. Enjoy!
What hotel will Mickey and Minnie be in also other characters? I need the list of them where they be and time.
Thanks
Times are here. I can only give you what we find as nothing is guaranteed. Last year Mickey and Minnie were at Grand Floridian and Wilderness Lodge for sure.
Is this special Christmas character sightings? Are they usually in the lobby?
Locations are listed
Very very fun. We will fr sure meet the ones at WL on Sunday it is right after we check in and we have no plans until 7 that night for dinner.
Thanks for the information Kenny. We arrive on Saturday and I’m hoping to visit some of the characters at the resorts if it fits our schedule. This will definitely make my planning easier!
Glad it helps
