So I was just wondering which characters I can expect to meet at DCA, any unusual ones?.....Where are the hot spots to meet the characters!? Also is there any rides not to be missed, or a restaurant you could recommend!?? Thanks in advance PainPanic

When I was in the Backlot, I ran into Brer Fox, Gideon and someone else that I hadn't seen in a while, but I don't remember who right now. There seem to also be a lot of Pixar Characters in DCA, if you are looking for them.

We found her at the Animation Academy and out in the street in front of the Hyperion theater. DL: Pluto hit on my 23 year old daughter. Did the the sexy growl thing and held on to her with his paws. Must've been the same Pluto in the parade that night, too: he waved at her, got on his knees in front of her and BEGGED!
