Hello, Josh!
Thank you for reaching out to planDisney again. I am glad we were able to answer your recent questions, and I am happy to answer another one!
Mary Poppins is one of most favorite Disney Characters! How can you not love a woman with a magical, never-ending purse?? Experiences with Disney Characters vary, although I have been able to take a photo with Mary Poppins near "it's a small world" in the past. I also saw her signing autograph books.
My planDisney pal, Melissa, shared some
excellent tips on finding Mary Poppins and the Pearly Band on the
Disneyland Mobile app. She also recommended my favorite lunch spot -
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe. It is the best! I have discovered that I cannot always find Mary Poppins when searching for her name on the Disneyland Mobile app. Instead, I have located Mary Poppins by using the drop-down menu on the map and selecting "Characters." Yesterday, it looked like she was scheduled to appear around 12:30 p.m. near "it's a small world." Schedules are subject to change.
Did you know you can make
dining reservations up to 60 days in advance on the
Disneyland Resort website or the Disneyland Mobile app? I usually make at least one Table Service Restaurant reservation for each day of my trip. Sitting down and enjoying a delicious meal gives me the energy I need to spend the rest of the day exploring "The Happiest Place on Earth." Some of my favorite Table Service Restaurants include
Lamplight Lounge,
Blue Bayou Restaurant, and
Cafe Orleans. Keep checking the Disneyland Mobile app if you cannot find your preferred dining reservations. You never know when another Guest may cancel their reservation!
Josh, have a magical trip to Disneyland Resort. We hope to see you real soon!
Magic Happens!
Jen
