Hi Margaret! Welcome to planDisney.
I see you are just a few weeks away from your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! My family just returned from a magical vacation earlier this week, and we are still feeling the pixie dust. I'm so excited for you to be in the middle of the magic so very soon!
Character experiences, including signing autographs, are currently paused as part of the phased reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort. But don't worry, Margaret, because the characters are out and about in all four theme parks interacting with Guests in creative (and socially distanced) ways. My daughter and I loved taking selfies with Chip n' Dale, who were waving to us from the roofs of Frontierland in their adorable cowboy outfits, and my whole family jumped up and down and waved to Pocahontas from her motorboat
cavalcade through the rivers of Disney's Animal Kingdom. My son loves the princesses, and Snow White waved, blew kisses, and greeted him from her cavalcade vehicle in EPCOT's World Showcase. While we couldn't get hugs or autographs, we did get some great selfies and lots of laughs.
We had breakfast at
Chef Mickey's and loved both the food and the distanced character interactions. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto, and Goofy all took time to visit each table and pose for photos. We even had some fun dance time! At that meal, our server brought out a nice autograph card that was printed with a photo and each character's autograph. If you have your heart set on autographs, you might want to consider making a reservation for modified
character dining during your visit.
Thanks for stopping by with your question! We're here to help if you think of any more questions as you count down the days to your summer vacation at the Walt Disney World Resort.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
