Ok someone inform me of this mass of characters you can meet in HS in the animation building??
I've seen The Incredibles and Sorcerer Mickey there on regular occasions. Downstairs, the characters change out with whatever the latest movie release is. Other than that I know there are a few others I've seen in there randomly... mostly Pixar characters for some reason.
There are always characters in there but which ones changes all the time. I've been in there before when there were 5 different character greets at once and then I've been there when there was only one. The only consistency I've seen has been the section where they have the characters from the latest movie release. For example, when they released the Pooh movie last year, Pooh and friends were down there. On one occasion I remember meeting Chicken Little, another the characters from Up, etc.it doesn't run all day right?

I think I've heard 5PM is the magic time. I hope you get some good ones!
Also on EMH nights at HS they have a character dance party in the Playhouse Disney building.
Character Palooza is completely different from the meet and greets that are there regularly. Sorcerer Mickey, the Pooh Gang, and The Incredibles have regularly scheduled meet and greets in the Animation Building.
Character Palooza used to happen at around 4:50 on non-Fantasmic nights. Now that Fantasmc is back to every night, it's apparently still occurring. It's not advertised and is meant to be seen as a "surprise.". The characters that show up are all characters that also appear in Fantasmic. I've been there for it several times and have seen Stitch, Jafar, Mary Poppins and one of the Penguins, Pluto, and the Hag in various different groups.

I have honestly never heard of this. How cool! We always chose our DHS day around Fantasmic so maybe that's why we've never seen it... that or the fact that we rarely if ever go into the Animation Building now (it was a huge favorite of mine back when it was an actual animation studio though). I almost want to make sure to pop in there around 5pm on the next trip just to see if it's happening. Thanks for the info!But characterpalooza would typically happen on days that there was no early F!. All the F! characters would possibly make random appearances in the animation studios. Mary Poppins, Penguins, Chip, Dale, Pinocchio, Hook, Smee, Meeko, Genie, Jafar, Goofy, Minnie, Pocahontas are all ones I have seen in there lately. The characters would do a 20 minute set, then a new group come out, and then they each would do 1 more set. Just because you saw a character during set 1, doesn't necessarily mean you will see the same one in set 3. Likely, but not guaranteed. If they are still doing it daily, then thats awesome.
