“
Santa is giving our 3 yr old-who will be 4 for WDW trip a "Disney to Do Book" and the prize is a $250 Disney dollar shopping spree-I am trying to get it started, but I am afraid to give her hard to find characters-any suggestions?”
Crystal,
That's one lucky young lady you have. Any chance you want to adopt a nice 40-something-year-old daughter :-)
There are hundreds of Disney characters that never appear or make very infrequent appearances in the parks. There are others that come out only during special events such as the evening parties in the Magic Kingdom. But there is a core group of several dozen characters that are easy to find at WDW. Here goes:
Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Donald, Daisy, Cinderella, Snow White, Belle, the Beast, Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel, Mary Poppins, Jasmine, Aladdin, the Genie, Prince Charming, Peter Pan, Smee, Wendy, Captain Hook, Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet, Fairy Godmother, Lilo, Stitch, Baloo, King Louie, Rafiki, JoJo, Goliath, Kim Possible, Buzz, Woody, Cruella, Alice, Mad Hatter, Handy Manny, June, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, Drizella
You may experience different characters on your trip. And bear in mind that this list does change with some regularity, but these are the characters that either I have seen or heard of being seen more than one or two times in the past two year. Most are currently available at regularly scheduled character meals or meet-and-greet stations. And this should give you a good starting point for making your "Do Book."
Happy birthday to your lucky princess, and I hope you have a great trip.
