Of course things like Dumbo aren’t entirely new experiences, as we have rode them it in Florida, but for DLP it was new. It’s always fun to compare experiences of similar attractions across the resorts, even if it is something such as Dumbo! (And we have to be able to say we’ve done everything, right?!)

Characters again

As you can see from the list in the previous character section (in Part One), we were exceptionally lucky this trip in meeting some very unusual characters - even by DLP’s standards! I met 27 new characters and performers, and met 28 characters that I had met before, but in new outfits. Jon met new 22 characters, and new 28 outfits.

We also have over the course of our trips to DLP now come to discover some good locations for regularly meeting some random and indeed rare characters.

Oddly enough, the Main Street Lounge area of the Disneyland Hotel is very good first thing in the morning, up until about 11am. The ISAW gates / outside Pizzeria Bella Notte is THE spot for characters (one day we counted as many as 21 characters up there that randomly came out all at once!), and over by the gates next to Colonel Haithi’s is a good semi-regular (though somewhat more sporadic) location.

These locations have provided us with some of the best “random and rare ones” that we have met, including Chicken Little, Maleficent, Robin Hood and Launchpad McQuack

More later! :)

Dan.
