We are Annual Passholders with a 4-year old who loves character autographs. We are told there are many rare/hard-to-find characters at the Halloween & Christmas parties but we cannot afford both. Which do you recommend most for rare charater autograph”
Hi, Mary Gail! Our family has been fortunate enough to attend Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, and we too love collecting those autographs! In my opinion, there are more "rare" characters at MNSSHP. Of course, character appearances may be different on various nights and certainly different years. Yet to give you an example, we were able to see Alice, the Queen of Hearts & Cards and the Walrus from Alice In Wonderland at the Halloween party. Also, I loved seeing the fab 5 -- Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto -- dressed in costumes, too. At the dance party, my kids danced with Donald dressed as a pumpkin!
I took a peek at my scrapbook, and here is a list of some of the other characters we met at MNSSHP in addition to the ones mentioned above: Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, Genie and Abu from Aladdin, Buzz Lightyear, Chip and Dale (dressed as princes), Tigger (dressed as a pirate), Piglet (dressed as a butterfly), Terk (Tarzan), Rafiki (The Lion King), Pocahontas, Eeyore, Pooh, Lilo, Stitch, and the rarest of all...Jiminy Cricket! I hope this helps you plan and gets you excited, too. Have a wonderful day and a magical vacation!
