Autographs @ Disney World & Tips On How To Get Certain Characters

If you have been following this blog, or even if you have a pulse, you realize that Disney World is a magical place. It is a place where adults can feel like children and children can feel like royalty. The park just seems to be a cut above. Everything about the park and the experience involved with it is special. Part of that special experience for children often involves character interactions and autographs. Getting the characters to acknowledge them is magical for the children. The character taking time to sign is incredibly spectacular for the kids.

I was not sure my oldest son would be able to appreciate autographs yet, so we were planning on holding off on them. Boy was I wrong. We started an allowance system with him shortly before we got passes again. The 1st thing that he bought with his own $$$$ was.....a character autograph book. He loves that book and adores getting signatures. He also has/had a very specific pattern he wanted to get their signatures in Mickey Mouse, then Goofy, and so on....we try to cross a few off each time so that he can enjoy these interactions and make it a point of emphasis before we go. So I thought we wouldshare some of those tips with our readers......

Tips for autographs and where characters currently are in the parks

Aladdin

Aladdin meets @ Frontier Land in Magic Kingdom and in Morocco @ Epcot
I have never been to either meet as my children aren't that into Aladdin, but maybe someday soon. I have not seen long lines for Aladdin during any visit. I know that Aladdin meets with Abu during the Not So Scary Halloween Party and Very Merry Christmas Parties. If we do one of those, we might try to meet Aladdin.

Alice

Alice meets @ Mad Tea Party Early in the Morning
By noon Alice is gone so go in the morning to meet her. She also meets @ 1900 Park Fare Character Breakfast. Haven't meet Alice yet, but we will be doing the character breakfast in the next year and can give an update at that point.

Anna and Elsa

Meet @ The Frozen Section in the Norway Pavilion @ Epcot
Lines will be extremely long. Book Fastpass+ if available.

Army Men

Expect Little to No Wait!

Baloo

Meets @ Upcountry Landing @ Animal Kingdom
Expect a wait between 5-20 min. One of our favorite meet and greets

Bolt
Meets near the Great Movie Ride @ Hollywood Studios
This is a newer meet and greet, but lines aren't too bad. Not sure why Bolt is meeting of all characters, seems like a waste of a meet to me....

Baymax
Meets @ Character Spot West in Epcot
Does not Sign

Buzz Lightyear
Meets next to Buzz Lightyear Ride in Tomorrowland of Magic Kingdom
Great meet with waits typically under 20 min.
Also Meets w/ Woody Across From Toy Story Mania!

Note: Buzz Lightyear stamps and does not sign

We don't like Up so we skip this meet and are unsure of lines.

Eeyore
Only available for meet @ Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom.
Also available @ Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party and Very Merry Christmas Party

Flik
Started this year meeting across from Discovery Trail in Animal Kingdom
We have yet to participate in this meet, but will at some point in the future. Lines aren't long.

Goofy
Meets in All 4 Parks
Dinoland USA @ AK
Pete's Silly Sideshow @ MK
Movie Ride CY @ HS
Character Spot @ Epcot
Character Spot is longest wait time, but is short early in morning. Others are not bad waits.

Jack Skellington
Meets @ Halloween & Christmas Parties
This is one of the most popular meets @ those parties

Jake
Meets in Disney Jr. Courtyard @ Hollywood Studios
Lines are not long
Also appears @ Hollywood and Vine Character Dining

Jasmine
Jasmine meets @ Frontier Land in Magic Kingdom and in Morocco @ Epcot
I have never been to either meet as my children aren't that into Aladdin, but maybe someday soon. I have not seen long lines for Jasmine during any visit. I know that Jasmine meets with Genie during the Not So Scary Halloween Party and Very Merry Christmas Parties. If we do one of those, we might try to meet Aladdin and/or Jasmine.
Jasmine also appears at Cinderella's Royal Table Character Dining and Akershus Character Dining

Jessie
Appears w/ Woody in Frontierland in Magic Kingdom
Lines can get long best to arrive just before 10am when their 1st set starts

Joy and Sadness
The Inside Out characters meet @ Character Spot West near Baymax
Lines can get long, but are short early in the day

Meets @ Upcountry Landing @ Animal Kingdom
Expect a wait between 5-20 min. One of our favorite meet and greets
King Louie does not sign autographs, but there are rumors that Baloo does sign

Kylo Ren
Meets @ Star Wars Launch Bay in Hollywood Studios
Personally not a fan of this character, but the times I have seen posted are <30 min

Lilo
Meets @ The Great Movie Ride CY in Hollywood Studios
Also Meets @ Ohana Character Breakfast
Both meets are fantastic and I'd recommend them. I would assume the HS meet is short term, but Ohana will likely stay.

Mad Hatter

Mad Hatter meets @ Mad Tea Party Early in the Morning
By noon Mad Hatter is gone so go in the morning to meet him. He also meets @ 1900 Park Fare Character Breakfast. Haven't meet Hatter yet, but we will be doing the character breakfast in the next year and can give an update at that point.

Meets @ Magic Kingdom Fireworks Viewing Plaza

Also Appears @ 1900 Park Fare Character Breakfast
Again with boys typically skip this

Max

Not a regular meet, but often seen @ Hollywood Studios in the Summer Time

Mickey Mouse
Meets @ All 4 Parks with Fastpass+ Available for most
I'd recommend getting the Fastpass for most meets. Talking MM appears only @ Magic Kingdom. However, he does not always talk. Still, I'd recommend possibly meeting him @ Magic or Epcot depending on line. Hollywood Studios is the only park that does not offer Fastpass to meet Mickey, but the line is typically pretty short. Epcot is a short wait in the morning and Goofy and Minnie are right next to him at this meet.
Also appears at many character breakfasts.

Minnie Mouse
Meets @ All 4 Parks
I'd recommend Epcot meet, but Magic Kingdom meet has a short line
Mickey and Minnie are also typically available at the Disney Visa Special Meet @ Epcot.
Character Breakfast Opportunities also available.
The most chances to meet any characters are the mouses and Pluto.
Here my son is w/ main four @ Epcot. This is where he got these 4 to sign!

Olaf
Meets in Hollywood Studios
I'd assume the lines are long, but he started meeting this summer and we haven't been

Peter Pan

Meets in Magic Kingdom by his ride
Lines are long!!!!

Piglet
Appears @ Crystal Palace Character Breakfast
Occasionally appears @ 1900 Park Fare
Occasionally Appears @ Pooh's Thotful Spot

Pluto
Meets @ All 4 Parks
Longest wait is Main Street Flagpole in Magic Kingdom. Shortest Wait is typically Dinoland  USA in Animal Kingdom with Goofy.
Also appears at just about every character breakfast.
Pro Tip: Pluto cant see past his nose and has to sign close up to his eyes. Be careful when handing him the pen/marker. He marked up a page in Jr.'s book accidently.

Pocahontas
Appears @ Discovery Island in Animal Kingdom
Typically a fairly short wait

Princesses

There are two princess character dining experiences, Cinderella's Royal Table in Magic Kingdom and Akersaus in the Norway Pavilion @ Epcot

More Opportunities
There are random character meets at Hollywood Studios (called Character Palooza) and Epcot (called Training Meets). Locations and times are unknown, but hopefully you can run into these. They are super neat.

-Noland

Winnie the Pooh is the Best

My family absolutely adores the character Winnie the Pooh. He is my second favorite character,in Noland's Jr.'s top 5 (his favorite was Pooh when he was 1 and 2), and Jenna and Eli's favorite. As a family, he is our favorite character. We love the movies, the books, the stuffed animals, and mostly experiencing Winnie at the Disney Parks. Before we get into the parks though, let me tell you that the 1st stuffed animal each kid got was a Pooh character. Noland Jr. being the fantastic boy that he is gave Eli his baby stuffed animal of Tigger on the day that Eli was born!

Look @ that sweet baby and his new stuffed Tigger cuddling him!

It is a point of ours each time to ride the ride, whether we do a Fastpass+ selection or hit it early in the day. We just love the character and all of his friends and think that Disney did a great job with this character. If there could be any more with him, we would surely enjoy it!

Let's start with what they do have, before we get into what was lost.....

First, the Crystal Palace!
This is the single greatest character breakfast we have tried at the Walt Disney World Resort. It is absolutely phenomenal. I cannot believe how great this breakfast experience is. Reservations are hard to come by though, so we have only been able to do it once for breakfast. Dinner is also available, but at $12 more per person is not an option we have explored. This is the only non special event where you can meet Piglet and Eeyore and something my family will be doing again! We will certainly give Eli the opportunity to experience it!

Noland Jr. meeting Eeyore @ Crystal Palace w/ Mom (2 years ago)

Now, the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride!
Many Disney purists are upset that the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride took over for Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I am not one of those people, although I did enjoy the classic. Winnie the Pooh is far more marketable and has a great deal more fans than J. Thaddeus. My kids barely know about the Wind and the Willows, but I did expose them to it. However, they absolutely adore Winnie the Pooh. The bear is timeless. The toad is practically unknown by an entire generation. While it would be cool to reserruct that ride at say, Epcot, I rather enjoy that Winnie the Pooh got some more love at the Magic Kingdom.
This ride was one of the 1st rides to have an interactive queue, where kids could play while they wait for the ride. This fantastic idea makes waiting in line not such a bad thing. The pictures below are from the front of the queue and out in front of the ride. Noland loves the little Pooh house....

Front of Pooh's House

Pooh's mailbox and honey

Inside the house with Jr. and a photo bomber

The ride itself is incredibly fun and features scenes from the movie The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. The actual ride focuses on the 2nd part of the movie, the Blustery Day. As I said, this ride is a ton of fun and has playful scenes. Another fun thing about this ride is it has a picture in Owl's house of Mr. Toad handing the deed of the ride over to Owl.

Ride getting ready to start!

Next, the Thotful Spot Meet and Greet!
Right next to the ride is a wonderful place to meet Pooh and Tigger. This spot is one of the most popular meet and greets in the entire Magic Kingdom. It is recommended to come at a time the two have taken a break and will be back shortly, this will decrease your wait time. This strategy also increases the chances that the duo will remain throughout your time waiting in line instead of stepping out for a break. These guys are really fun. This meet and greet occasionally features Eeyore and/or Piglet although that is rare. I have even seen Rabbit in here before with Pooh Bear. Below are some pics from our favorite meet and greet.

 Eli Meets Pooh

 Jenna and Tigger selfie w/ Eli who just wants to look @ Tigger

Noland Jr. w/ two of his favorite characters

Finally, the character breakfast @ 1800 Park Fare @ The Grand Floridian Hotel!
This is an experience we have not done yet, but are looking to try this summer! Winnie the Pooh and Tigger are a part of this character breakfast at Disney's fanciest hotel (at least that I have seen). I am sure it is a pretty epic experience to try.

There are also special meets at the Halloween and Christmas Parties!
I have said before that these are overrated to pay extra, but they are fun and I am glad we did each once to get the experience. The Halloween meet and greet with all four characters was almost worth it to do it by itself. When Eli is a little earlier, we will probably do it again. That way we  can see these characters in the best parade at Disney World and get to meet them all again as well.

Maybe a chance at the Epcot Training Meets or Character Palooza!
I have only gotten to see an Epcot Training Meet once, but I seem to remember that Piglet was in there. I have not seen any characters from Winnie the Pooh at the few Character Paloozas we have been to, but I have heard some rumors that it happens.

Rare rabbit sightings!
I have seen Rabbit @ the Thotful Spot meet and greets, and there are rumors of him being at Epcot Training Meets on occasion. One of our goal characters to meet this year is Rabbit and we will definitely be waiting in line if we see him again. Personally, I think he should be part of the Garden Grille character breakfast with Chip and Dale. Seriously is there a character you associate with gardens more than Rabbit?

They used to have him in 3 parks. Then regretfully moved him out of Epcot and Animal Kingdom. The Epcot experience was awesome because it was practically empty. You got to meet him in the setting of Christopher Robin's room and most people didn't know about it, so it was a great place to meet Pooh and Tigger. Since most people didn't know about it though is probably why they moved him out. The Animal Kingdom one is frustrating though. It was a great locale for them and it was the 1st meet and greet experience that Noland Jr. had at Disney World (pic below). It made little sense to move him out of that park where he was so beloved.
We need more Winnie! Pooh Bear in every park!!!!

I hope you enjoyed my bragging on Winnie the Pooh and talking about how you can experience him at the Walt Disney World Resort! This is our absolute favorite consistent Meet and Greet experience (Character Palooza isn't always consistent). I hope you soon get to meet him too, especially if you have children.

Join me next week as we discuss ........Continue to keep checking up for more Disney tidbits, tips, and other great tips to #LoveFL and cool things to do all over the country. Have a great week!

The Top 101 Disney Characters of All-Time (10-1)

We have finally reached the Top 10 of this countdown. However, before we get to it, let's recap...

101-91

90-81

80-71
70-61

60-51
50-41

40-31

30-21

20-11

Also remember, no humans!

09, 10. Timon & Pumbaa

The top 10 starts with 2 characters that are always linked. I could easily separate the duo, but why bother. They are both elite and their brilliance together is what makes them elite. There are two questions when it comes to these two being top 10 characters.
1) How are they ranked ahead of the main character (Simba)? These two are ranked ahead of Simba because they have a more lasting impact on the Disney Universe. The duo got their own cartoon off of their popularity. Additionally, they were so popular that Disney came out with The Lion King 1 1/2 based solely on the story of Timon and Pumbaa. Finally, they taught Simba not to worry which helped him move on with life. Without Timon and Pumbaa, Simba is dead and there is no redemption story. This duo made The Lion King.
2) Which one of the duo is better? Many people would say Timon, but it is clearly Pumbaa. He is the 1st character to pass gas on screen and make jokes about flatulence. Pumbaa also comes up with most of the brilliant ideas which Timon always takes credit for. He appears dumb, but has lots of good ideas. Pumbaa is as good as it gets as a character.
However, these two are linked and belong as a package deal. The duo together should start the top 10 because they are just that awesome.

08. Baloo

Baloo is the best character from Walt Disney's last film. That has to get him some sort of bump on this list. Add in that he was the main character in Jungle Cubs and Talespin and you can see why Baloo is a top 10 character. In fact, he is the highest rated character outside of the main 5 and the Winnie the Pooh characters. Want more reasons why he deserves this spot? He always looks for the "Bare Necessities" and finds out what is really important. He is incredibly fun and easy-going. He came up with a top 5 song in Disney history. Baloo is a diverse character that can work in any movie. This guy also has stood the test of time much better than the Lion King and Toy Story characters from 30 years later. Finally, Baloo is the Papa Bear of the elite Disney characters that are not human (and outside the main group and Pooh). In the movies before the Jungle Book, only Dumbo can compete with Baloo's brilliance in that category. Is he a Top 10 character? "You'd better believe it."

07. Piglet

Some of you are thinking "how is Piglet ahead of so many other legendary Disney characters?" I will answer that question for you. Piglet is #7 because of his impact on the Disney Universe. He has his own stand-alone movie and is the best friend of one of the most iconic characters in Disney history. Piglet is one of the main characters in Disney's second most popular series. Outside of the main series' involving Mickey Mouse, the Pooh franchise dominates. In fact, sometimes it gets more popular than those series. There is no doubting its popularity and Piglet is a vital part of that. Piglet is Pooh's best friend. He is the little guy that everyone loves. He has to be in the Top 10 and belongs at #7.

06. Goofy

Goofy is the best friend of Mickey and Donald, but I don't believe he is quite as iconic as either one. He doesn't see to be as popular as the other characters in the Top 5 either. This dog is a fantastic character, but just outside the Top 5. I had him outside the Top 10 for a while, but that is unfair to Goofy because he clearly is a Top 10 character. He fits perfectly here at #6. The only question is, "why does Goofy talk, but not Pluto when they are both dogs?"

05. Tigger

Tigger may be the happiest, most cheerful, most energetic, most fun, and lively character in all of Disney. There are many that believe he is the best character in the Pooh franchise (including some of my family). It's hard to disagree with his energy level or his popularity. The other stuff might be a stretch, but not by much. This guy is a clear top 5 character to me. He is just fun, fun, fun, fun, fun. The most wonderful thing though is that he is the only one.

04. Minnie Mouse

Mickey's love interest has to be in the Top 5. This girl is his fun-loving, sweet, partner in crime and the best friend to Daisy Duck. However, she plays a much bigger role than Daisy in the Disney Universe. Minnie can also succeed as a standalone character and has her own show Minnie's Bow-Toons. She isn't quite as important as the top 3 on this list, but she is close. You can argue Minnie up to #2. She is the most important female character in all of Disney, not including the humans.

03. Donald Duck

This original angry bird is certainly a top 5 character. I love Donald personally as well. He adds so much versatility to the Disney Universe. Sure he is angry sometimes, but he is also best friend to Mickey Mouse, and uncle to Huey, Dewey, and Louie. "Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy" there are not many in the Disney Universe that are bigger than Donald. In fact, I can only think of two that mean more to the company.

02. Winnie the Pooh

 Is there any other possible choice for #2? Yes, there is. Is there any other correct choice for #2? No, there isn't. Look, Pooh is the best Disney character that isn't a mouse. Don't believe he is this high? Just wait until you have young kids. Pooh is my favorite character in the Disney Universe. I will get that nugget out of the way before I continue, but he is also the best besides Mickey Mouse. The most series that have been started other than Mickey come from Pooh. He also has a movie featuring his characters every 5 years or so. This guy is a legend! He also happens to be my son's favorite character by far. The honey loving bear belongs at #2 and should be in everyone's top 5.
                                               

And finally the obvious choice for #1
Bushroot

Ok, obviously I am kidding and it is...

01. Mickey Mouse

This had to be the #1. There is no doubt that Mickey is Disney's most important, most popular and most iconic character. He has been a great present to all of us.
"I hope we never lose sight of one thing, that it was all started by a mouse." - Walt Disney
Mickey is the true #1.

Hope everyone enjoyed this countdown. I will do a recap write up tomorrow and reveal my favorite 100 characters all at once so everyone can see where and if any bias came into these rankings.

Ranking the Best Disney Songs

Hello blog world, it sure has been a while.

We have been thinking about posting back on this site and with a recent Disney Song ranking, we have seen the perfect opportunity. Buzzfeed did a ranking of their top Disney Songs here. Since we are Disney experts at this point, and have seen all of the movies, we thought our list could be much better than their list. Noland, being the bigger Disney fanatic between us, has posted his list below along with the Buzzfeed ranking for each song and a link.

I decided to use the same rules that Buzzfeed used.
"All songs are from animated films that were released in theaters.
All songs must be sung by the character in the movie.
No sequels.
All films made by Walt Disney Studies. So, no Pixar."
I also didn't use James and the Giant Peach and Nightmare Before Christmas which Buzzfeed did. To me Toy Story is way more Disney than those two movies.

102. "I Wonder" - Sleeping Beauty
Buzzfeed Ranking #70

101. "Topsy Turvy" - The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Buzzfeed Ranking #72

100. "My Own Home" - The Jungle Book

Buzzfeed Ranking #98

98."Friends on the Other Side" - The Princess and the Frog
Buzzfeed Ranking #66

97. "Lack of Education" - The Fox and the Hound
Unranked By Buzzfeed

The other countdown had 0 Fox and the Hound songs. I have a few.

96. "After Today" - Goofy Movie
Buzzfeed Ranking #45

95. "Honor to Us All" - Mulan
Buzzfeed Ranking #63

70. "I 2 I" - Goofy Movie
Buzzfeed Ranking #7

Buzzfeed and I didn't see eye to eye on this song. I have it 63 spots lower than them. I can't see how this song gets a top 10 ranking.

69. "All in the Golden Afternoon" - Alice in Wonderland

61. "Heffalumps and Woozles" - The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Unranked By Buzzfeed

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh also got no love from Buzzfeed. Despite being the movie that brought us many sequels, TV shows, rides, books, etc. This movie and the songs in it were fantastic. The movie was the basis for the ride at Walt Disney World.

46. "Beauty and the Beast" - Beauty and the Beast
Buzzfeed Ranking #4

I actually enjoy this movie and the music, but this song is a tad overrated IMO. Too slow for me personally. Good song, but not top 5 worthy as Buzzfeed suggests.

10. "I Just Can’t Wait to Be King" - The Lion King
Buzzfeed Ranking #8

Buzzfeed nailed it with this one. This is clearly a top 10 song. It is so full of energy and so great. It is also the best part of Mickey's Philar Magic at Walt Disney World (which is one of our favorite attractions).

09. "Under the Sea" - The Little Mermaid
Buzzfeed Ranking #20

This song is in a lot of people's top 5 Disney songs and for good reason. It is the most memorable part of the movie and is the song people think about with the movie. It is featured brilliantly on the new ride at Magic Kingdom for the Little Mermaid. Disney nailed it with this happy upbeat song.

08. "A Whole New World" - Aladdin
Buzzfeed Ranking #3

This song, also a part of Philar Magic is another one on many people's top 5 Disney Songs. For many people it is the #2 song that Disney did. Until recently, I wouldn't have had this in my top 10, but my wonderful wife has got me hooked on Aladdin now.

07. "I Wanna Be Like You" - The Jungle Book
Buzzfeed Ranking #38

The Jungle Book is my #1 movie and King Louie is a top 5 Disney character for me. That might make me a little biased towards this song, but let's be honest, it is fantastic. Another cheerful, happy, great sounding song from this movie. Jungle Book has one of the best soundtracks of any Disney movie. In my opinion, it has the best soundtrack.

06. "I’ve Got A Dream" - Tangled
Unranked By Buzzfeed

Amazing that this song was not ranked by Buzzfeed. In fact, Tangled got very little recognition period. This song is incredible and goes along with the whole theme of Disney. It was so unexpected and wonderful the 1st time you heard it and it doesn't disappoint after that. Hearing all of the dreams in the song is awesome.

05. "I’ll Make a Man Out Of You" - Mulan
Buzzfeed Ranking #13

Hearing this song is what actually got me to sit and watch Mulan. It is a pretty good movie and this is clearly the best part of it. It's irony and awesomeness amazes me. Oh ya, it sounds pretty terrific too.

04. "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" - The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Unranked By Buzzfeed

Easily the biggest omission of the entire list. This song is in nearly every Winnie the Pooh movie ever created (and there are a lot). It announces the arrival of an iconic Disney character and is his undisputed theme song. This song certainly should have been on the list. I could argue it on any spot but #1.

03. "The Bare Necessities" - The Jungle Book
Buzzfeed Ranking #16

As I said earlier, I may be a bit biased towards the Jungle Book, but I don't think so here. This song encourages people to focus on the important things in life and not worry about other things. It also is the theme song of the greatest character in all of Disney IMO. Baloo hit a home run with this classic.

02. "Hakuna Matata" - The Lion King
Buzzfeed Ranking #23

This song was the most memorable from the movie and was the focus for a large part of it. It was the theme song for two of the most lovable characters in all of Disney. The best part of this movie though is that it encourages people to not focus on the past.

01. "When You Wish Upon A Star" - Pinocchio
Buzzfeed Ranking #1

Buzzfeed nailed it here. The Disney unofficial theme song and clear choice for #1. This is the only spot on the whole countdown where I matched Buzzfeed exactly.
