Welcome to planDisney, Jessica! I'm so glad to be able to answer your question about your upcoming vacation. Can you believe that it's just over a month away? You're going to get to experience so much magic, and I'm happy to walk you through exactly what to expect when you take off for your trip in October.
At the moment,
Disney Characters are appearing in fun new ways around the theme parks that still give you the chance to see them and maybe snag a selfie while still being mindful of physical distancing measures that are currently in place. You might see Mickey and Minnie Mouse in a special cavalcade on Main Street U.S.A., or some friends from The Lion King on the water at
Disney's Animal Kingdom, and I've even seen Anna and Elsa doing a royal procession around the countries of World Showcase at
EPCOT! There are even a few Character Dining locations that are doing a modified experience as well, so be sure to check out the breakfast menu at
Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera or have a look at
Garden Grill Restaurant, which is currently serving lunch and dinner.
Jessica, have you had a chance to check out the
Disney Parks Blog? It's been the number one source of updates about the phased reopening process at Walt Disney World Resort, so I recommend that you bookmark it and check back frequently in the weeks leading up to your vacation! Things are changing all the time with new entertainment and dining options being offered, so you never know what kind of magic might happen before your trip this fall.
Have a magical day!
Jessica
