The Disneyland Characters are a highlight for many people visiting the park. You could even say that a Disneyland vacation would not be complete without the Characters that we all know and love so well. Often, however, people leave Disneyland disappointed because they never found their favorite character. The key to finding the characters you love is in knowing where to look for them in the first place.

Start with the Character Breakfast. Here, you will probably see Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, Mary Poppins, Jasmine, Ariel, Minnie and Mickey Mouse, and many others. If you miss your favorites at the breakfast, don’t despair – simply track them down! Many characters will be on hand, just inside the gates, to greet you as you arrive in the morning.

Another place to look for your favorite Character is in Toon Town, where all of the Disney Characters live. Visit their homes to see if you can get a glimpse of them. Go early, while they may still be at home! Be sure to visit Goofy’s Kitchen as well, since many characters pop in and out throughout the day. If you’ve been through Toon Town, and you still haven’t seen your favorite Character, your next stop should be Fantasyland. Different characters can be located telling stories throughout Fantasyland.

If you still can’t find your favorite Character, ask for help from one of the many information booths scattered around the park.
