Common or Rare: Suppose to be Show Character Only     (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 Information is probably out-of-date.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!): Not sure!! Used to do the Sword in the Stone show by the Carousel at Magic Kingdom, but it was cancelled, not sure of Merlin's status now

Your Chances of Finding This Character: ??????

General Info: Merlin is the medieval wizard featured in the 1963 Disney movie Sword in the Stone. At Disney World, he was usually only seen at Magic Kingdom in a little show by the Carousel. But occasionally, he would do meets and greets after the show, but "officially" he isn't suppose to be a meetable character! Unfortunately, the show has been cancelled (as of this writing in 2007). But other character fans have met Merlin, as he appeared as recently as October 2006 at the Halloween parties. As for the future of Merlin, we aren't sure! Hopefully he may reappear at special events at Magic Kingdom, like the Halloween parties. And who knows, maybe his show will be reinstated someday! We can hope!


Where Fellow Character Fans Met Merlin:

Oct 2006 - (Halloween Party) - FairyTale Theater (near the Castle) (Magic 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!!
