Hi Jill,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thank you for your question. I’m so excited to hear that your Walt Disney World vacation is coming up next month – I know just how excited you’re getting!
You’ve got great timing, because the gorgeous Old Port Royale at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort just reopened its doors, and you’ll be able to
experience the beautiful new welcome area, along with several new dining experiences. I think the video you saw was likely Mickey and Minnie welcoming Guests to this newly re-imagined space – they had the cutest blue tropical outfits on, and were greeting Guests and media who came out to see the new space earlier this week.
Mickey and Minnie lead very exciting lives, with lots of social commitments, so I can’t guarantee they will be greeting Guests at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort during your stay. I have seen characters in the resorts – usually for holidays or other special events – but usually the best way to meet characters is by finding them in one of the theme parks. If you want to be sure to meet Mickey and Minnie together, my favorite place to do that is at
Adventurer’s Outpost at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. They have on their safari gear, and it’s a really sweet experience.
Enjoy your upcoming visit to Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Jill. I can’t wait to enjoy a cocktail at the all-new Sebastian’s Bistro – the dessert menu looks perfectly dreamy.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
