Club Penguin's Rockhopper at WDW
My DSs love playing on Disney's Club Penguin. Tonight, on the site, it stated that a "famous" penguin "Rockhopper" would be at WDW from April 30 - May 13. We will be there for a few of those days. My boys would love a picture and autograph from Rockhopper. Anyone heard any particulars about this? Which park do you think he'll be in?
TIA!
Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,
At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,
When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death,
And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.

I guess nobody has heard anything about this. (Or maybe nobody's even heard of Club Penguin ) I even called WDW Information today and the CM said that it must be happening at Disneyland because they don't know anything about it. We double checked the website, though, and it says clear as day - Rockhopper coming to Disney World! We may just have wait until we get there and try to get some info.

I actually did hear something about this I believe it's in May and for a limited time. I want to say May 13 - 24 but don't quote me on that

The Club Penguin website said he would be there April 30 - May 13. I'd really like to find out a location where he'll be. Let me know if you hear anything else! Thanks!

My DS is also a HUGE fan of club penguin and is excited over the possibility of meeting Rock Hopper. I too would love any information on which park he'll be in and the times for his appearances.

What a shame it won't be when we are there! Even though my daughters are 16, they still love club penguin, and they get their friends to go on at the same time so they can chat and compete on rides together. Very cute; even I get a kick out of it.

Oh my goodness! My kids would LOVE this. I wish we could make it down. Does anyone know if they'll bring them back any other time? Also, my son was wondering if they'll be giving out items for Club Penguin?

I also posted on the Disney Characters forum where I had some of my questions answered by Figment! Check it out!

It is located between Pixar Place and the entrance to the Studio Backlot Tour. It is where the original Sorcerer Mickey Mouse Meet & Greet was located and also the typical site for the special merchandise location during Star Wars Weekends.

Word among Cast is that this is a test offering. Based on the test run, management may bring it back as a permanent offering.

We're going to go back into DS on the morning that we're leaving WDW just to see Rockhopper and Gary Gadget. We're doing what we can to help make them a permanent offering.
Thanks Figment! You've been a great help!

Potential correction:
The second penguin character planned to appear may have been mistakenly identified as Gary the Gadget Guy, is there another penguin character that is just blue?

Well we were there today just so my kids could meet and greet Rockhopper.
It's your typical meet and greet. We stood in a que line waiting for the characters to come out. One noticable difference (unless I just haven't realized it for other meet and greets) is the Club Penguin music they have playing while waiting on the characters. I found myself bopping and humming along to music I recognized from my children playing Club Penguin at home.
The blue penguin is just that; a blue penguin. He's more of a mascot than any particular character on Club Penguin. He and Rockhopper stood together while my kids had their pictures taken with them. I had my camera and took a few shots, but there was a Photopass Photographer on hand for shots as well. All four of my kids (11, 8, 8 and 3) were first in line at the 10:30 meet, anxious to get their pictures.
The autograph is actually a stamp in the shape of a puffle. My kids used to do the autograph book thing, but now we just take index cards for autographs and that worked quite well this time.
They have merchandise carts set up across from the meet and greet. There were stuffed penguins, stuffed puffles, books, trading cards and various other items. You can use the promotional birthday card to purchase these items (my oldest son used his).
I hope this test run is successful and they bring these character in full time. The CM reiterated what was stated here already that this is a test run.
And last, many people (including us) took advantage of the absence of the characters by taking pictures with the props.
All in all I give it
