Here is a character who meets and greets at Disney World, along with their autograph and where they were found:

Colonel Hathi
Many, many thanks to Amber's Pics and Ryan's Photos for sharing this very unusual character!


He stands on all four legs, so no hand available to hold a pen!

A Character From the Movie: The Jungle Book

Common or Rare: Rarely Makes Appearancs at Special Events     (Click to see common/rare scale)

Note: Fully admit our family is taking a break from Disney and are no longer updating this site at this time (2009). Information is probably out-of-date.

Best Spot for meeting this character (if there is one!): Animal Kingdom; near the entrance I guess! No idea what his future holds

Your Chances of Finding This Character: Was out for a special event party at Animal Kingdom; Very much doubt he will get out much except for special events

General Info: Colonel Hathi is the militant, orderly elephant character from the classic 1967 Disney movie The Jungle Book. In the movie, Colonel Hathi leads the elephants on a patrol, which catches the attention of the boy Mowgli, who decides to join in and cause some trouble! Colonel Hathi made his debut as a meetable character in September 2007. He was out for a special event at Animal Kingdom that celebrated the release of Jungle Book on DVD. He is a very unusual character, as he actually stands on all four legs! As for future meets with Colonel Hathi, we woud probably guess that he will be extremely rare, and most likely will remain a special events character only. Guess it remains to be seen. But it's great when Disney gets a new classic character out there for meets!


Where Fellow Character Fans Met Him:

Sept 2007 - Entrance to Animal Kingdom (Animal Kingdom) (special event location)

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!!
