Hey guys!
I have a quick question is Launchpad ever out in the parks? I know some people have tracked him down in the Disneyland hotel....but he's one guy I'd really like to meet! So any tips of where to find him!?
Also is there any more unusual characters making appearences in the parks lately? Tell me who you've seen!
PainPanic signing out for duty! :)
On our last 3 trips Lanuchpad has been in the Hotel New York meet and greet at breakfast but I've never seen him in the park.
Watch out for the character express as it seems to carry some of the lesser seen characters around.
I met Launchpad McQuack (or only Quack, that's the German version of his name in DuckTales) in the Disneyland Park on Town Square, but I didn't get a picture with him.
Maybe you guys can help me too. Do you know if there is a Scrooge McDuck character out in the parks and where is the best place to meet him? He is one of my favourite Disney characters.
@ dagobert: A friend of mine took a photo of her husband together with Scrooge McDuck last September. It was in the Studios Park, but unfortunately I don't know the time and place :(!
@Nala: Thanks for the information and nice greetings to our neighbours in Germany!!
I saw scrooge on the weekend 4. - 6. april 08, he was twice on the character express..
And on Xmas 2007 I saw him standing near IASW, giving autographs.
I saw Scrooge and Launchpad last September, cant remember the exact day but we went 9th - 12th. They were running around the Studios park with Daisy and Donald. It was impossible to get an autograph or picture. Hoards of people were chasing them around and they were just running away.
Launchpad never appears in the parks. Only in the Hotel New York and Disneyland hotel. He hasn't been seen in the park in the past 4 years to my knowledge.
Scrooge is no longer in the studios, he does appear however often on the Character Express and sometimes randomly in Fantasyland. Ask at City Hall on the day your in the park.
He was in the studios last September for definate. Myself and my 3 friends all saw him.
Unless it was for a special event I really doubt it. There hasn't been a costume available for park appearences by Launchpad for a very long time.
Have you got any pictures??

Scrooge McDuck sure has some young legs... :P
Poppy, if Carnival Princess is sure she saw him, why shouldn't he have been there?! :shock: I guess she wouldn't say it if she hadn't seen him with her own eyes :lol:
Why don't they send out... how are their names in English, Tick, Trick and Track... I think it was Hewey, Dewey and Louie or so :mrgreen:?

Because he hasn't been out in the park for many years, believe me if he had it's be big news here! There isn't a costume for him and IF he was out I'd really like to know for sure - because it affects very much what I might do at work tomorrow. :twisted:

Oh yes I would love to see them aswell!!There a many characters like this...for example Daniel Düsentrieb(Gyro Gearloose) or Gustav Gans (Gladstone Gander). I guess it's just because they aren't so popular
Well who do you propose that I saw then?
No I didnt get a picture, but ask your bosses if he was out if you're so convinced I'm wrong.
My 3 friends saw him too, but what do we know, we dont work there :?
we saw scrooge 3 years ago, have picture and autograph
would love to see all the duck family and launchpad so if you have connections poppy the monkey........ [-o<

I've asked this morning and he hasn't been allowed out unfortunately since 2004, very dissapointing because I'd love to of "made friends" with him.
I don't know who you and your friends saw then, maybe it was launchpad during a special event as I said. I didn't expect you to take offence, people mistake characters all the time, I'm just trying to set the facts so people aren't disappointed.
Have a disney day!! :mrgreen:

We saw him in May 2006 - we stayed at Hotel New York and there he was. And I am very very very sure! :-) So - whoever you asked, was wrong!
Well, Poppy said thast he IS in Hotle New York but not in the park.
I found a picture of him...just to make sure everybody is talking from the same character :wink:
Hmm, yea as I said he's in the Hotel New York and Disneyland hotel, because these are totally seperate to the park operations, the hotels buy their own characters and have their own staff and budgets. They are nothing to do with characters you'll see in the parks.
Yeah that's who we saw, I even double checked with my friends to make sure.
Maybe it was a special event although I couldn't see anything special going on, apart from the fact the whole duck family were out and about. :?:
We did see him though, guess we were privelaged, I should have tried harder to get an autograph!

I LOVED Ducktales as a kid, I would love to meet Launchpad!! :D/
Oh and Scrooge McDuck can sometimes be seen in Walt Disney Studios, I found him near Cars Race Rally last September! I just HAD to have a picture! :mrgreen:
