Hi Katherine,
Thanks for stopping by the Moms Panel and asking your question. Pinocchio and the Seven Dwarfs are some of the most looked-for, and hard to find, characters in the Walt Disney World Resort. While Pinocchio meet-and-greets are pretty prevalent in overseas Disney Parks and Disneyland, he only surprises us at Walt Disney World from time to time. He was most recently spotted in Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Magic of Animation building this past January. Unfortunately, from my research, I've learned that he does not have set meet-and-greet times in any of the parks. He's also been spotted in Town Square at Magic Kingdom, but again, he's not scheduled and tends to pop up as a surprise. So, if you happen to spot him during your visit, grab that picture! You'll have lots of Pinocchio fans just a tad bit jealous of your rare experience.
As for the Seven Dwarfs, they also have been spotted sporadically over the years. But, many Disney fans have gotten pictures with all seven during the past few years of
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Since you will be visiting in October, I would suggest grabbing tickets to the party and keeping an eye out for those cute miners.
I hope this answered your question, Katherine. If you have any more questions before your vacation, feel free to ask us at any time. We're always here to help you.
Have a fantastical Disney day!
