Hi all,
 
It has come to our attention that there has been a random previously unannounced happening in Tokyo Disneyland that has been taking place the last couple of days in Fantasyland. It is called Donald’s Funny Harmony, and it involves the Fab 5 friends in some cute outfits – including a Sorcerer Donald! Although there is no other information on the website about this event, the fact it is in Fantasyland outside the new PhilharMagic attraction that is due to open tomorrow, and has Donald wearing Yensid’s hat, one can only assume that it is some sort of pre-grand-opening event. There is no word as to how long this will remain in the park, but appears to be on the schedules for the next few days at least.
We have heard reports that for some reason there have been a lot of other random character happenings in Tokyo this week, from Frontierland hoedowns with Woody, Bullseye and even Bo Peep (!), to the Alice characters and Ariel and Eric in Fantasyland. DisneySea also has had similar random happenings too, including one that was somewhat musical and involved characters and the park’s resident band. Sadly I do not currently have access to any pictures, but if I able to get any, I shall repost them here.
 
Moving to some site news now, this weekend sees the launch of another brand new feature here at Character Central - "cheat sheets".
Found on the resort overview pages, these new pages are a comprehensive list of the most up to date meet 'n' greet information that we have for each resort.
We have left out all shows and parades, unless the characters normally do meets after, and we have also left off any old meets and characters that to not appear anymore.
Hopefully these pages will be useful for you all when you go to the parks, as you can print them off and use them as an aide to find all your favourite Disney friends.
Of course, as these are meant for quick reference only, they do not contain as much detail and information as the character and location pages themselves. The individual character and location pages are still the definitive source of all known locations of characters.
So why not check them out now and start planning all you character adventures for your next trip already!
As always we will try to keep these pages as up to date as possible, but do bear in mind that things change all the time at the parks, and everything is subject to availability. Also, these are still currently work-in-progress, so bear with us if any information is slightly wrong or missing.
 
Below are the direct links to the new pages. They can also be accessed by scrolling to their new dedicated side panel on the left hand side, here on the blog, and also by going to the individual resort pages (WDW, DLR, DLP and TDR).

Ok that's all for now,
