Note: We fully admit we aren't updating the site as much as we wish we could, so things can be out-of-date here very quickly! Character locations and info are always changing!

General Info: Friar Tuck is the good badger from the 1973 Disney movie Robin Hood. I always thought he was a mole, but alas, he really is a badger. Around the Disney World parks, we used to never have problems locating him. We used to see him a lot in Magic Kingdom in Town Square (area after entering), and many times at the entrance to Animal Kingdom. We even seen him also at the Character Connection place at Epcot. But in recent trips (2006 and 2007), we haven't seen him as much anywhere. I hope he is not declining in appearances, but he doesn't seem as easy to find as he used to be. He also is a character that many people have no idea who he is! So definitely meet the good badger if you see him out!

Character Hunting Tips: - Finding a beloved character can be a child (or adult's!) highlight of a trip to Disney World! On this page, we listed a character we met, also the places we seen this character on our week-long trips (Jan 2003, May 2003, Oct 2003, Jan 2004, April 2004, Oct/Nov 2004, April 2005, Oct 2005, December 2005, January 2006, May 2006, November 2006, February 2007, September 2007, January 2008, October 2008). Some characters were found by some fellow character hunters who were nice enough to help us out! Unfortunately, we aren't local to Florida (wish we were!!!), so we certainly don't know everything about every character! But we tried to list good places to look and recent reliable sightings of that character!

Must say, sometimes finding a favorite character can be difficult! One day you may see a bunch of characters in one spot, and the next day - not one! Some characters may be everywhere on one trip, and nowhere the next! And some characters come out only for 10 minute meets, then don't return for hours! Yikes! Your best bet to find your favorite character is to read various character websites (check links here!), or ask at Guest Relations at a Disney World park or resort (sometimes they can tell you where a character is meeting people that day), or check the Times Guide Map that you pick up when you enter the Disney World parks. Or just wander around and constantly look everywhere you go! Good luck character hunting!!
