The most obscure character you've seen at WDW

Last year we were at MK and ran into Peter Pan and Wendy together in the Town Square Exposition Hall during a downpour. There was no one else around since there were several characters in the other room so everyone was in that room.
As for obscure characters I'm not sure which ones to consider obscure. Ran into two of the Country Bears in front of the castle in 2002 just a few steps away from Launchpad (who I did not consider obscure).
I also once saw Mickey in drag. They said it was Minnie but I could tell it was Mickey. :lookaroun

Just last month, Peter and Wendy were making appearances on Main Street, just outside the Kodak store. Robin Hood and his entire gang have been making appearances since the 70s, and I'm glad to see they still do. I saw Robin and Friar Tuck at the same time, on a Friday afternoon, just on the other side of the Main Street Train Station.
The most obscure characters, to me, are the Country Bears - Liver Lips and co. They may not be "rare," but outside the MK, who would have any clue of their names?
I take that back. The dinosaur in this picture gets my nomination for most obscure Disney character. Can anyone give us a name for this fellow:

I was wondering because when I was down there, there was a frequent guest who always asked if the birds were there that day...even at MK he would ask...did you ever encounter him? Last year he always had a Pal Mickey with him. Just wondering!

Those pictures were great.
I was surprised last year to see the teenage versions of some characters (Goofy, Donald, etc). I also saw Meeko and the fox that played Robin Hood. That was my first time to Disney though since I was a kid so I was a little shocked they were there. Plus since I did not see them later on in October that same year, I thought they might have just made a short appearance. You have to wonder how many costumes they have floating around in the cast member area we don't see ona regular basis.

That character is either Chester or Hester from DINO-RAMA!
The character is supposed to look ugly and cheasy to keep pace with the Tourist Trap "Theming" of the area.

His is called Carnotorous (My spelling is way off)...the girl dino is Connieatourous (spelling off again.) That's what they were called when I worked there.

This is kind of a question for MKT....
All these characters who no longer make appearances, since theyre in the 'warehouse' ,is there only one of them? I mean, Mickey has 300 outfits.....coughcough...but are these guys rare because they dont have as big of a closet as Mickey and maybe the fabrics are expensive...or are they uncomfortable for the character performers...OR does management just not want them out because if people have a hard time differentiating between Smee and Geppetto imagine what they'd think of seeing someone like Thumper out?

Just the fact that these characters look kinda cheesy (like something you would find in a campy roadside amusement stop)

see Dinosaur
The Carnotaur (correct spelling) is the lead bad guy in the movie "Dinosaur" and also the threatening dinosaur in "Dinosaur" AKA Countdown to Extinction.
The strolling version is pretty pathetic looking no matter what his pedigree is. :hurl:
