Hi Sheila!
Thanks for your question and for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Mulan is certainly a fan favorite over at
Epcot! And she should be...she saved China after all!!
Character encounter locations all around the
theme parks of
Walt Disney World typically stay very close to the posted schedule for the enjoyment of as many guests as possible. Occasionally, Mulan needs to excuse herself (for maybe 3-5 minutes during the hour) to go check on Mushu (about every 20-25 minutes or so on average) or to handle other important business, but she returns just as quickly.
Queue length and wait times are hard to predict as they fluctuate with park attendance and popularity of the given character. Rest assured though, you will have ample opportunity to meet Mulan.
One suggestion I have is to stick around even if she is not quite out greeting guests yet. Many guests leave during her break and the queues get shorter. If you are willing to hang out for a few minutes of her tending to other business, then that may help.
I hope this helps and I wish you a Magical trip!!
Chris
