Disney Theme Park Character of the Month - February

This month UK Disney Fan thought it would be apt to choose the Queen of Hearts as the Disney Theme Park Character of the month.



The Queen of Hearts is the villain in Disney's adaptation of Lewis Carroll's novel 'Alice in Wonderland'.

The Queen of Hearts meets and greets fans regularly at all of the Disney theme parks. She can normally be spotted daily at Disneyland Paris. For the Magical Moments season (2011-2012) the addition of the 'Mad Hatters Tea Party' Magical Moment ensured that the Queen is available at certain times in the day by Alice's Curious Labyrinth, and she is normally joined by either the Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum and Alice herself. This magical moment is one of the ones which are being continued beyond the conclusion of the magical moments festival.

The Queen of Hearts also features prominently in the Halloween festivals at the parks. This year she was one of the villains who starred in 'Disney's Malleficious Halloween Party' on the hub stage at Disneyland Paris.

The Queen's dress is considered as one of the best costumes at the park!

Although meeting any particular Disney character at any of the Disney theme parks can not be guaranteed, you have a better chance of meeting the Queen than most other classic characters. If you especially want to see the Queen of Hearts or any other particular character always check with City Hall on Main Street on the day of your visit because they will be able to give you some general guidance as to which characters will appear when.

One final note is that UK Disney Fan finds that the Queen has her very own way of dealing with the scrums of people trying to get near her for autographs or photos. She will place her hand out to each person she would like to meet and shake her head and wag her finger at those who are pushing or are being impatient.

Who will steal your heart this Valentine's Day?

Have a magical day!!
