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!!

Disney Theme Park Character of the Month - January

This is going to be a running topic, where each month we will post a few pictures and some information about a particular character from the theme parks. UK Disney Fan believes that one of the best parts about the Disney parks is meeting the characters to pose for photographs and sign autograph books. We enjoy looking at pictures of the characters through the years, so if you have any older photos then please let us know.

This month the chosen character of the month is... Chip

You may be wondering why we have chosen to seperate Chip from his pal Dale. However we find that at the themeparks the chipmunks are often called the wrong name e.g calling chip - dale. But even worse, we have heard people calling Chip... Alvin!

There is one easy way to distinguish Chip from his fellow chipmunks, his black nose...

Also, if you look closely, he has one tooth at the front whereas Dale has two!

Chip has appeared in a variety of costumes over the years.

Recently, his cutest outfits include his Disneyland Paris 'Dance Express' retro Neon coloured jacket and hat..

He always looks spooktacular at Halloween aswell..

So, next time you visit Disneyland Paris or any parks make sure you pay Chip and probably Dale a visit. Chip and Dale are two of the most common characters to find at the parks, purely because of their large fanbase and cute appearance. They normally appear randombly in all areas of all of the parks. At Disneyland Paris they are normally sighted in Main St USA and Fantasyland. If you are desperate to meet Chip or any other character then check with City Hall on the day of your trip because they will be able to give you a better idea of which characters are appearing where on that particular day!

Have a magical day!!
