Special meets at Hollywood Studios on Streets of America January 26, 2014
Character Palooza can be like shooting at a moving target at times. Cast Members are instructed to act as if it doesn't occur until they characters actually appear and the schedules aren't published publicly except on my site and others who borrow it. I'm able to get basic schedules from an uncredited friend because the friend wants guests to be able to access these characters. Sometimes the schedules that I'm provided can be adjusted slightly based on conditions and desires of the Character Palooza team. I try my best to keep the schedules updated, but recommendation is to arrive a little before the times I list and wait around. Characters will NOT appear during inclement weather.
Here's a link to the Character Palooza schedule and location information.
Here's who we visited yesterday: Belle, Mulan, Snow White & Snow Queen Grimhilde, Green Army Men, Penguin, Mary Poppins, Stitch, Genie, Chip n Dale. Belle didn't return for the second set and the third set was cancelled after only a minute or two on stage due to rain in the area.

Will there be any unusual characters in June, 2017?
Characters that appear vary daily. All discussion is handled on Chat Room on http://www.characterlocator.com
They don't announce who will be there any given day.
Hi Kenny! Thanks for all this info - was wondering when you think characterpalooza might be if Fantasmic! is at 6:30pm (We'll be there Nov. 8th). Also we'll be there the morning of Nov. 10th. Will characterpalooza be then too?
No clue, that's why it's not listed.
Sorry if you have already answered this elsewhere. Does Characterpalooza normally happen during Star Wars weekends?
Thanks
Not usually. Will check this year
Saw the 3:25 and 4:15 sets yesterday (same group of characters both times.) Belle, Aladdin, Mary Poppins, Stitich, Snow White and Queen, Pinnochio, Minnie Mouse, Pocahontas and Green Army Man. Belle 'adopted' my two year old and took her all around to each of the characters and played with her pretty much exclusively. Pretty awesome experience! (At the 4:15 she played with 2 sisters but came over and waved and hugged my daughter.)
For the 4:15 set, they first posed for a big group picture with their handlers. I snapped some pics of the whole group together if you would like me to share them. :)
I'd love to see them! Sounds like a great experience for your little girl.
Sure! How is the best way for me to share them with you?
(Btw, you don't have any info about Valentine's Day possible Prince meet and greets this year do you? )
3:25 on the dot!
We saw snow white and queen, captain hook, smee, bolt, max goof, meeko, pinnochio, belle, stitch, minnie, green army man and jessie today!
Nice grouping of characters! What time did you see them?
Is there Character Palooza at Echo Lake anymore? Or is it just the Streets of America?
