Hi, Neil! Thank you for visiting us here on the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
Pinocchio and Geppetto are somewhat more elusive characters and are not quite as easy to find and meet as, say, the Fab Five (Mickey and friends) or the Princesses (who have designated greeting spots and times). That being said, my daughter has met Pinocchio near the Flag Pole and Town Square Theater area at the entrance to Main Street U.S.A. in
Magic Kingdom. It's also possible that Pinocchio may be found greeting guests at Pinocchio Village Haus in Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom. We have also met Pinocchio and Geppetto in the Animation Building at
Hollywood Studios. Many characters appear in the Animation Building in the late afternoon on nights that Fantasmic! is scheduled.
The best thing to do is check the
Times Guide when you enter each theme park and/or ask a Cast Member to call the Character Hotline to see if/where a particular character may be appearing the day you are visiting.
Pinocchio and Geppetto routinely make an appearance in the parades in Magic Kingdom.
Wishing you a
magical vacation! Please stop back to ask me any other questions you may have as you plan your trip.
