Minions were still there this weekend.
I think they only pose with people for the Frog Choir. I don't think I've ever seen the TriWizard people do anything but a group picture.Unless it was just the day we went (which was not crowded at all), the Triwizard Students don't take pictures with people anymore. At the end of the show, they just posed together for everyone. (It was cute, they said they had to stand still for muggle cameras, they weren't used to that. )
do the characters at IOA sign autographs like at Disney? thanks
I think you and your kids will be pleasantly surprised by the interaction of the characters at Universal and IOA. The lines aren't as bad to get to them either. The characters I've seen over the years really seem to have a good time with the guests.my kids have had some fun interaction with WDW characters... wondering do the US/IOA characters "play the part" or are they just people dressed up? Also is it as big a mob to see the characters (as WDW)?
Wow...you tend to forget the characters you've seen until you dont see them listed. They tend to roll out more when it's busier, and limit the interactions with the regular characters. Jimmy still comes out, as does Spongebob. They used to have Crash Bandicoot. I've seen a ton of storybook characters other than Shrek and Fiona around that ride. They've had the ugly step-sister, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel. The entire Scooby Doo Gang. This was all during busy times in the summer.
At Islands I've seen Dragons walking around, Hulk (though admittedly once), Dudley Do-Right, Beetle Baily, Sarge and the stupid guy from that comic strip and Bluto.
In Jurassic Park they have had Ian Malcolm and John Hammond, as well as a baby Trike puppet.
Thats the cool thing about Universal, unlike Disney where everything is scheduled, you never know who you'll see walking around.
I haven't had the chance to see them yet (hopefully April 2nd), but here's a picture of the new HOP characters that will be out through April 5th:
Goblin and Doom used to be regular but are now defunct or at least just occasional appearances?
They are so cute!! My ds is so excited to see this movie! Do you think that they will keep them out until easter? I know they say 4/5, but since they are easter characters
