Character Palooza ususally goes on hiatus during the winter months, but it appears that it will return soon. I received the following information from my source that’s close to Character Palooza at Hollywood Studios:
Beginning January 6th, Fantasmic! Area Sets (Character Palooza as we know it) are being scheduled.
With Fantasmic! beginning at 7:00 pm, the sets are likely to be held at 2:30, 3:30 and 4:30 pm. All three sets should be held on Streets of America, but all entertainment is subject to change without notice.

This is soo exciting! Especially since they won’t be having a parade this year!
Thanks for the update! We did CP in October 2012 and met so many characters…so I was disappointed that during this trip they were supposed to be on hiatus. However, I heard about this post from another guest at Animal Kingdom and today we caught the 3:25 set. In appearance: Mary Poppins with Penguin, Pinnochio, Green Army Man, Pocahontas & Meeko, Mr. Smee, Captain Hook, Aladdin & Jasmine, Snow White & The Queen. They were only out for about 30 minutes. Again, thanks for keeping us updated! The characters are one of my favorite parts of Disney!
Can you tell me exactly where to be? I’d like to be waiting a few minutes before the characters arrive.
We will be in hs on the 28th and is love to see this!
Click the Character Palooza link on the top left of the site. It has all the information.
Any suggestions on when to see captain hook and smee or is it totally random? Would it increase our odds to go multiple days in a row to dhs or are the same characters at palozza usually there each session for a week? We use the app loyally. My son is all about characters and is really wanting to meet captain hook.
It’s random, but Hook and Smee are pretty common at Palooza
Kenny, last time I was there, palooza was in the animation bldg as well but no rain as I recall. Is there a way to know for sure where it will be on a certain day? Also, where/when is the dance party typically held? Thanks
I put all this info into the app each week. They moved palooza last year.
Tx Kenny, I’ll be getting your app pretty quick as my planning is going into high gear! Thanks for all your info!
Yes! My little girl loves the Queen from Snow White. We will be there the end of January and will also get Doc and Sofia.
Thank you, my toddler loves Character Palooza!
FWIW, it was going on last night, but in the Animation Pavilion (perhaps due to rain?). I saw Tweedle Dee & Dum, Chip & Dale, Pluto, and Rafiki, all in the building signing autographs and taking pictures.
MrItty, that was actually a rain out location for the Dance Party last night
I’m going to be there on the 6th! Really fortunate timing! :D
Be sure to post some photos on my Facebook!!!
I’m excited about this. I was sad knowing it wouldn’t be there at all in February, but knowing there is a possibility is wonderful. However, I feel like I’m changing my schedule DAILY, with all the new information I’m getting these days. Crazy! Thanks for your updates, I seriously use your website and app ALL THE TIME planning for my trip. Without you, I would probably never get to see all the characters I wanted (which is as many as possible).
Glad to help!
