Hey Steven, I'd like to wish you a warm Canadian welcome to planDisney!
Now when it comes to
Character sightings and experiences at the Disney Destinations around the world, I'm a bit of a connoisseur myself and those in the know can definitely tell you that the Pumpkin King himself in definitely one of those rare folks that you can only find at certain times of the year.
I asked our friends in the Entertainment Team at Disneyland Resort who let me know that while Jack Skellington and Sally have been popping by
New Orleans Square recently to greet guests, he is not likely to be available to meet out and about in January. (This is of course subject to change without prior notice, as their appearances tend to coincide with the operating dates of the
Haunted Mansion Holiday attraction overlay, which has historically continued into the first week of January.)
This year we had a greater chance of spotting Jack Skellington by aiming for
Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort, and combining it with the ever-popular
Oogie Boogie Bash. On the bright side, your visit will coincide with one of the major moments happening on
the recently-released Disneyland Resort Event Calendar with a chance to spot some rarely-sighted pals celebrating
Lunar New Year at Disney California Adventure Park. Either way, here's hoping you get to meet some fantastic Disney pals on your upcoming adventure!
Wishing you Season's Screamings in the name of the Pumpkin King,
Prince
