Here at Kenny the Pirate, we love meeting rare characters. Rare characters tend to be seen during events like runDisney race weekends, Disney Vacation Club Moonlight Magic, Easter, Valentine's Day, and Earth Day to name a few.
Kenny the Pirate has been meeting rare characters for over a decade! You can find schedules, tips, and more on Character Locator.

Rare Character Spotted!
This morning at the runDisney 5K that is part of the Wine and Dine Half Marathon weekend, we spotted several rare characters! First, Mushu was greeting athletes in the reunion lot. On the course, we even saw Li Shang with Mulan and Duffy.
My favorite character from the 5K race was the Duke of Weselton! When we ran by, he was greeting athletes with Kristoff. Check out the video below:

Other characters that could be found in the reunion lot or on the course included, Daisy Duck, Pluto, Donald Duck, Chip and Dale, and Mickey Mouse. Disney put out some great characters this morning, and we can't wait to see what else they have in store for the weekend.
