While in Disney’s Hollywood Studios the other day I saw a character meet and greet for Disney’s Club Penguin. Guests can meet and have their picture taken with Rockhopper, the pirate penguin, and Bambadee, the stowaway. This meet and great location is located next to the entrance of the Studio Backlot Tour.
For those of you who don’t know about Disney’s Club Penguin (and I was one of those people) it’s, according to the Disney’s Club Penguin web site, “an online community where children can join and take the form of an avatar penguin to chat, play games an other various activities with other children”. From what I was able to find out, it’s very popular and children from all over the world are part of the community and play online.
Here’s some pictures of Rockhopper and Bamdadee as well as the appearance times
Well, that’s all for now. As my good friend says “see ya real soon”…DizneyMike

DizneyMike replies: Ingrid, I haven’t seen any Club Penguin meet and greets recently. You may want to check with Guest Services when you get here. Hope you enjoy your trip….Mike
Will this still be running in December? Juliet and Faith my 2 grandaughters are HUGE fans.
DizneyMike replies: Shirley, their time at Hollywood Studios was limited and my already be over. I haven’t been over to the studios this past week so I don’t know for sure if they’re already gone. Maybe one of our readers who was just there will let us know….Mike
Thank you DizneyMike for your informative blog.
According to my DD10, the Club Penguin website is showing May 13th as their last “scheduled” appearance.
We’ll all have to keep an eye out for their “re-appearance.”
Thanks for this info! We will be there in 1 week & my boys are a part of this community! They love Rockhopper! They will be so excited!
My daughter LOVES and I mean LOVES penguins and plays club penguin all the time. She is soooooo excited to find out that the Club Penguin characters will be in Disney. We thank All Ears for that information and all of their great effort in keeping everyone well informed on Disney. We are visiting Disney again in Sept. 09 and keeping our fingers crossed that Disney will keep the Club Penguin characters until then.
Thanks for the info! My sons are HUGE fans of this popular web game! We’re heading to the World in 30 days, do have any idea how long they’ll be there?
DizneyMike replies: It’s my understanding that their time at Hollywood Studios is limited. In fact, that this my be their last week there. However, I haven’t been able to find anything “offical” with dates.
Wow, Disney paid a premium for this outstanding Canadian company out of British Columbia, a childrens and parents favourite. Club Penguin greatest feature is its web based security that kids won’t be confronted by unwanted internet intruders. Great to see Club Penguin make it into the big leagues.
Thanks so much for the info Mike!! I was happy to see this…my son absolutely LOVES Club Penguin and we’re heading down there in Sept, so hope it lasts ’til then!
Thanks Mike My kids will be so excited when we go in Sept. They love Club Penguin
