Rarest Characters To Find

[baloofigment14]

I was wondering if there is such a thing as a rare or hardest character to find in the parks. I know some do appear to be foind more than others, but some of the characters you don't seem to see as much. For example, one time I remember seeing Friar Tuck from Robin Hood out for meet and greets, but I haven't seen him since then.

There are many characters who will never appear again. Some only may appear at other resorts, Friar Tuck might be found at Tokyo(daily), Paris(occasionally), or DL(rarely). You will most likely not see him again at WDW.

The rarest you may have a realistic chance of finding at WDW during a normal day would be Launchpad or Megara. Those would only happen a couple times a year, if at all.

Any other characters in question, let me know.

So some of the characters tend to move around to different parks?

I don't think Meg (from Hercules) is to be found anywhere in WDW other than on the boat at the end of Fantasmic.

I was actually talking to someone about this the other day, and Shan-Yu from Mulan came up. We both agree he is one of the best villains in the Disney catalog...sorta the "Bane" of Disney characters, if you will. Yet he is so under-appreciated.

DHS had a Mulan parade back in the day with a Shan-Yu float, but did the character himself ever make guest appearances? Maybe some year for MNSSHP mix & mingle (?)

That is a very good point.I had never thought about him. It looks like he made guest appearances in Disneyland Paris around Halloween time. Not sure about Disney World or not. Here is a picture of him.

Shan Yu was seriously creepy to me!!

Dumbo
Also, I remember seeing B.E.N. and Jim from Treasure Planet on one trip.
(Most likely just promotion for the film though)

Shan Yu rules.
He is a great villian, and i love his graphic design. He was incredibly intimidating however when you saw him in person in the Park. Much like Professor Ratigan, i suspect he was pulled because of this.

Mulan is a great under-appreciated Disney animated film. It deserves better respect.

I hear Hades is pretty rare now. Last time i heard of him coming out from under ( pun intended...) was for one of the recent WDW Marathons. Hercules...another great, under-appreciated animated film.

The one character i would love to see in the Parks again? Philotetes !

That's too bad that they don't have Dumbo out anymore. It sounds like B.E.N. and Jim were probably for promotion like you said. All of them looked pretty cool too. Here is a picture of B.E.N.

I must agree that you do hear more about some Disney films than others. Philotetes is a pretty cool looking character too! Here is a picture of him at Disneyland Paris.

Sometimes, they need a new "friend" of Meg, and you will see her at Epcot.

A character you'll never see in the parks: Meg Crofton.

^Now that's a Disney villain! Wish he had more exposure at the Fla parks.

I used to see Friar Tuck, Robin Hood, and Prince John all the time on Main Street and in various parts of AK in 2006-2007. Haven't seen any of them since then.

I think that must have been when I saw them too because I do remember seeing all three of them on Main Street.

It would be interesting to see how many people actually knew who he was too.
