I have done the ones at DisneyQuest and Hollywood Studios. I wish that I knew about this before, as I thought it was so much fun taking this class, that I find myself taking them again.
I have drawn the following characters...
Goofy
Mickey Mouse
Dale
Jiminy Cricket
Donald Duck
So has anyone ever done this at the Disney parks? Which characters have you drawn?

I did that on my last trip to Disney World and the character, we drew was Rapunzel. My drawing of her ended up looking like a baked potato. I cannot draw to save my life, and at the end of the class, our instructor asked a question about Tangled and the first person to get it right, got to take home his drawing of Rapunzel singed by him and it's now hanging up in my bedroom.

That looks like a pretty good drawing. I wished that we actually drew one of the princess characters, which according to one animator, are one of the hardest characters to draw.
Here are the ones that I drew at DisneyQuest...

We had a choice between Pluto, Jiminy Cricket, Rapunzel or Winnie The Pooh. And this was right around the time, Tangled was released in theaters, so she got the most votes and yeah, she was hard to draw. Her hair gave me the most trouble but I love having that up in my room because Rapunzel is my favorite princess.

The only time we had a choice of characters, it was just Jack Skellington and Jiminy Cricket. I ended up being the deciding vote, choosing Jiminy Cricket. I wished I knew about this in past visits, because I thought it was a lot of fun.
In DisneyQuest, it's just limited to the Fab 5, and the times when each character gets drawn. Plus you actually have to pay to keep a copy of your drawing, which is a huge rip-off, in addition to the rip-off of DisneyQuest.
