Do your children want to meet their favorite characters? Here's where you can find them: (Times are subject to change.)

• ANIMAL KINGDOM: You can always find Disney characters at Camp Minnie-Mickey.
• DISNEY-MGM STUDIOS: Animation Courtyard is a prime area to spot Disney characters. They make random appearances throughout the day.

• EPCOT: Disney characters randomly appear in World Showcase between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. They can be seen in the country from which their animated films originate: Belle and the Beast in France; Winnie the Pooh and Tigger in the United Kingdom, etc. In the evening, characters wander near Innoventions in Future World.
• MAGIC KINGDOM: Fantasyland and Toontown are the two key areas to spot characters. You can count on seeing Mickey, Minnie and friends at Mickey's Toontown Fair and The Little Mermaid at Ariel's Grotto. Other Disney characters make random appearances throughout the park.
• SEAWORLD: Schedules fluctuate, but here are some basic guidelines: Baby Shamu greets visitors at the park entrance between 9 a.m. and noon. Other characters, such as Dolly the Dolphin, can be found in the Key West area off and on between 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. At Happy Harbor, characters make appearances from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. After the last Shamu show, characters can be found outside Shamu's Stadium.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS: Fievel, Crash Bandicoot and Harry Henderson can be found at Pantages on Hollywood Boulevard off and on between 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Rugrats characters Chuckie and Angelica appear in the Nickelodeon area 11:15 a.m.-5:45 p.m. for sets of 30 minutes. Character lookalikes, such as Marilynn Monroe, appear at Mel's Diner at noon and 2:15 p.m. Kids can meet and greet Barney following his show.
