Located next door to Disneyland in Anaheim, California, Disney's California Adventure is also where many of the world-famous characters like Mickey and Minnie Mouse like to go on vacation. If you'd like to meet them along with some Pixar and Playhouse Disney stars, use these tips to discover where to look.
Instructions
1. Have lunch or dinner at a character dining establishment like Ariel's Grotto. Greet the mermaid princess as you enter the dining room and meet other characters like Minnie Mouse, Chip and Dale and Pluto as they go from table to table while you dine.
2. Watch for Disney character appearances in the courtyard just beyond the Golden Gate Bridge (near the giant golden sun statue). Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto and Max (dressed in vacation wear) will often pose for photos and autographs throughout the day.
3. Encounter characters from Pixar films and Playhouse Disney shows in the area in front of the Animation Studios and the Playhouse Disney Live on Stage show in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot. While you'll see Handy Manny, Frozone, Mike and Sully outside, for example, you can also head inside the Animation Studios to greet characters like Cinderella, Hercules and the animals from Chicken Little.
4. Visit a Bug's Land to meet Flik and Atta, the hero and heroine from "A Bug's Life." You can also see them, along with other Pixar stars in the Pixar Play Parade (where you'll be able to get pictures, but no autographs).
5. Take pictures with Mater or Lighting McQueen if you see them resting across from the Soarin' Over California attraction in the Golden State Area.
6. Check the courtyard outside the theater where they show Golden Dreams in the Golden State. You may meet characters from historical Disney movies like Mulan and Pocahontas.
7. Let the cast member working at the Guest Services booth know which character you hope to meet. She should be able to tell you when and where they'll appear in a parade, show or photo opportunity.
