Gaston

[Brer Rabbit 33]

He looks really good to me, but not only that when I took my picture with him and talked to him, he was even better. He was my favorite character the whole trip! He was probably the funniest character I've ever met, but he stayed in character the whole time. If you're going soon you have to visit him. Trust me it'll be worth it.

It is definitely on my DDs M&G must-do list. They love the villains. Does Gaston have regularly scheduled times and are they posted in the guide map?

Yes he does, but no they aren't

Here you go - they are also in real time on the MDE app

This is what is known as an intermittent meet n greet. He will be out for 45, off for 15 give or take, with a longer 45 min break mid day, since he must go eat his 4 dozen eggs and all.

Don't forget- now that he's grown he eats 5-dozen eggs

Thanks. This is very helpful.

He was my favourite face character last year as well.
Tink was pretty amazing too.

He's an incredible meet and greet! I've done tons in my years going but he was by far the funniest! There was a LINE though- we got there a few minutes before his time started and by the time we left there were about 70 people waiting!

Yea all the people in line is what made me look to see what was happening. So I'm happy there was a line.

It is the wisecracks that come with those characters' personality that make them great. Gaston and Tink for shore fit that mold. Also included and who I recently really enjoyed were Anatasia and Drazilla, along with Vidia (Tinkerbell's friend in the nook). All wisecrackers.

We got to watch him for a good 10 minutes while we were in line, so I knew what I was in for.
When I stepped up, I told him to "Behave, I'm a married lady".
After photos, as I was walking away, he shouted after me (loudly), "No, I will not make out with you later, Lady".

We met him during the FLE soft openings last year, so these M & G's were still pretty new. I hope they haven't forced him to reign in any of his insults. But ya know, some people are so sensitive.

I thought it was barge?

 

[WDWYankee15]

You are correct. I looked it up. I learned something today. Thank you.

"So I'm roughly the size of a barge!"

 

[JenniferS]

Yay!!
He was such good fun.

Gaston is hilarious, its cool to see how popular he is with guests! and if anything I am shocked that TDO made him a regular. Considering how if it aint a princess or fur character they usually don't get much spotlight. NEXT we need a mad hatter!

I've been very pleased with this as well. The actors they have for him are FANTASTIC! Much better than seeing someone like Aurora. What do you talk with Aurora about? We know next to nothing about her. Maybe you could talk with her about the effects of Ambien?

I cannot agree more, she has always been the most boring of all the princesses for me, we literally don't learn anything about her other than she likes some guy she meet in a dream.
