Darkwing Duck M&G Sighting

[DisneySam]

I was at WDW with my BFF in January and we were randomly riding the train from Adventureland to Mickey's Toontown Fair and spotted Darkwing Duck and Launchpad McQuack from the train. My BFF screamed "Oh my God it's Darkwing Duck!!!" from the train and bolted over to him. It was pretty hillarious...seeing as we are 24 years old. But he was her fave Saturday morning cartoon so.

I loved Darkwing Duck when I was younger, never saw him though....have seen Launchpad a couple of times but not DD. I'll have to spend more time in ToonTown when I go back.

Mid-October this year we were lucky enough to spot DD and Launchpad as our train pulled into Toontown -

that's a training group ... those poses scream "NEW!"

So this tear drop that everyone talks about in toon town is near the train station? Sorry if this is a really dumb question.

Here's the "Teardrop":

It's around the back of the Judge's Tent. Most people miss it because it's so out of the way, unless you spot characters as you arrive on the train or as you leave the Judge's Tent. I believe this is also where the designated smoking area is for Toontown Fair.

I saw Darkwing Duck on Main Street in January of 2005. It was the marathon week.

Thanks for the news. Darkwing Duck used to be one my favorites! I never got to meet him but I think I remember seeing a show in Mickey's Starland that he was in. Does anyone else remember that or am i crazy (or both)?

Oh, but that my dear is the sort of magic that keeps me going back to WDW time and time again. It's so much fun to see that inner child come through all the layers of maturity, responsibility and plain old boring adulthood. Maggie

i met launchpad at animal kindom one morning had i known he was rare i would have made more time to spend with him.

I don't think Launchpad McQuack is appearing at AK on a normal basis. I didn't see him in October. Gov. Ratcliffe was out though

No he's not. He's not a regular character.

He was there for my visit in May as well.

so, in other words, you agree with him

 

[Cynderella]

I got to meet launchpad last year at the tear drop too. there were several characters there. In particular was Prince John and I was so excited to meet him. However he must have been a trainee because he totally smacked me in the head with his crown!

Yes.:lol: I wasn't trying to sound like I disagree. But I don't think it came out right.

Isn't English a phenomenal language?

I completely agree Maggie! WDW is one of the only places I can completely check out of all the adult stuff and just have fun, like when I was young.
