Most hard-to-find character you've seen??

I've seen Brer Rabbit over at AK a couple of times, and I saw Flik at AK as well. Is he still over there?

We saw Bert from Mary Poppins at Coke Corner at Disneyland Park, and on the same trip, Hercules at Hollywood Pictures Backlot at Disney's California Adventure.

We saw Figment a few years ago at the imagination pavilion. Not sure if he's there all the time or not, but I don't ever remember seeing him any other time. I hate to admit that we don't make it over that way very often when at EPCOT. It was pretty neat to see him and I was a little upset that they didn't even have a Photopass Photographer with him. No respect at all for the little guy!

You're lucky to have caught Figment as he has been retired (again). There was an Orlando Sentinel piece about it and we talked about it in this thread: Figment

Interestingly, Sonny Eclipse has written about the subject of the decline of the "Imagination" component in his blog.

I really hope they bring him back soon.

How could I forget? I actually was "lucky" enough to have seen the rarest of all characters, (if you can call an AA figure a character) Lucky the Dinosaur, during his brief stint at AK in 2006.

On the same trip I was also lucky enough to catch Figment outside of the Imagination Pavillion. I didn't realize he's been retired again.

i have to confess, i didn't even know who figment was. though i've seen him on the ride of course.

I really like seeing the Star Wars characters during Star Wars weekends. It's so ominous when Darth Vadar comes out to take pictures and they play the Empirial March. I'm a nerd, huh?

Here is one I didn't see that I am surprised i didn't see; Ariel!
The Grotto at MK was closed when we were there last year - we even had the princess breakfast in Norway and she wasn't there either.
My daughter was crushed. I hope we see her this time.

This trip we'll be going to HS so we'll (hopefully) go to Voyage of the Little Mermaid.

I'm not sure I've ever seen Ariel anywhere but in shows. of course most of the places she's supposed to be are not targeted at me.

EVERY Disney fan needs to visit http://allears.net/ it is a VERY informative site!

Yes, now that you mention it, Mickey is at Ohana's breakfast. He was there last time we ate there - him, Minnie and Goofy!

I wonder the maximum number of simultaneous Mickeys present in WDW in a single day? I bet it's at breakfast time where there's one at several restaurants as well as all the ones in the park?

Just wanted to post another quick link that might be helpful (got it from the links on this site, actually!)

WDW Autographs has a bunch of pics/locations/autographs of just about every character that's ever existed at WDW. It's fun to look through.

That's a great site! I've never seen that before!

We were lucky enough to meet some very rare characters by the Toontown Railroad Station last week, including the "ridiculously rare"(according to autographs.com) Stromboli. There also were Gepetto, Friar Tuck, Foulfellow and Marie from the Aristocrats

One good thing about meeting obscure characters is that the lines aren't that long. Pluto and Goofy were there too, and there were times when Stromboli was standing alone by himself while Pluto and Goofy had lines 15 deep!
