That's a good ... wait for it ... "Hook" to draw in the crowds.

I remember when you could meet them next to Tortuga Tavern. They were always fun to meet.

Yep, they used to be meetable every day. Lots of characters have been cut over the years.

I remember when Hook used to be at MK and MGM on the regular. Not so any longer. So sad, he had always been a hoot to meet. His body language is so dismissive, we loved it.

Remember when Hook and Smee used to be common meetable characters to meet and find along with Pinocchio instead of being limited to special events? Same with Thumper who was also common during the final years of Camp Minnie Mickey at AK instead of popping up randomly.

I still remember vividly meeting Geppetto around the flag pole back in 2004 after the Share A Dream Come True Parade was done for the day. I meet Pinocchio first and I remember seeing a whole group of characters heading near the parade exit to prepare for the parade back then.

They never should have left!

 

[Vipor51]

These two should be added permanently.

These two should be added permanently.

They formely were before the character cuts over the years.

Did someone already start the line?

Agreed. This just reminds everyone how much more magical things were not too long ago. We met with them a few years ago, just like you said, right next to the Tavern. Peter Pan would occasionally come by to give them a hard time!

 

[Fox&Hound]

Wow talk about a limited time- geesh....still think they should alternate random/rare characters in Pete’s Silly Slideshow tent space so you never know who you will meet. It would be such a draw and a better use of the space...

The last time I met Hook and Smee at Toruga Tavern, was very memorable. We were in line, maybe two families ahead of us, and a little boy (bout 7 I'd say) went up to hook with his sword in hand and challenged Hook to a fight. Now sometimes Hook would have a sword and sometimes he wouldn't. Well this particular time he did. So, Hook gladly accepted the challenge and the two began to go at each other. It was all good fun until Hook let his guard down and the boy smacked him right in his.... um well... cannonballs. That was the only time I've seen a CM break character. Hook dropped to the ground and grabbed his crotch. Sure did feel bad for the guy. So, I don't think we'll be seeing any sword fights during their upcoming appearances.

At least it happens at Disneyland Paris and Disneyland occasionally.

Same with Lady Tremaine (I think she returned?) and the Fairy Godmother if my memory is correct.

Has anyone seen them yet this week? If so, where exactly are they in Fantasyland?
