Mickey's pals make appearances throughout the day. Alice and her Wonderland friends show up in Fantasyland, as does Ariel. Belle reads stories to guests in Fairy Tale Garden, near the Castle. The Fantasyland Character Festival is an excellent spot to see characters, as is the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon. Character meals at Crystal Palace, Cinderella's Royal Table, and Liberty Tree Tavern offer guests a chance to meet their favorites. But the best place is at Toontown Fair, where guests can meet Mickey and his buddies. Characters may greet guests in Town Square at park opening time.
