DHS Pop Up Surprise Characters 1/24/11

Here are the Pop Up Surprise characters I saw yesterday at DHS's Animation Building!

Character Training Random Spots

It's my favorite time of year! New Disney college program interns have arrived and with them come character training days! These new interns usher in chances to see random characters not available for meet and greets in the parks. While not all the characters who appear are rare, it is a nice change of pace to see familiar characters in unfamiliar spots. 

 Today (1/24/11) at Millennium Village at Epcot appeared;

Chip and Dale
Pluto
Minnie
Gideon

American Adventure;
Mickey
Minnie
Pluto
Goofy
King Louie
Foulfellow
Brer Fox
Brer Bear
Chip and Dale

Dining with Character

Crystal Palace

You will find Winnie the Pooh and his hundred acre woods friends at the Crystal Palace inside the Magic Kingdom. Skip the character lines and dine with the characters! Not only will you not have to wait in line to meet your favorite characters, but you will have special one on one time with the characters. You never know what kind of special photo ops you will get.

Marathon Weekend

Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy doned their sweatsuits and congratulated marathon finishers this weekend! Check out their awesome outfits!

After the marathon, Shan Yu made an appearance in China at Epcot.

What a rare treat!

Dining with Character

Breakfast at Ohana

Hate waiting in line to meet characters? Consider choosing a character meal! Some of your favorite characters can be found throughout the resort at character dining experiences.  One that I recently enjoyed was breakfast at Ohana inside the Polynesian.  Characters appearing at Ohana are Stitch, Lilo, Pluto, and Mickey.
