Hello, Daphne!
Welcome back to planDisney. I am glad you reached out to us again! It looks like your trip is less than two weeks away. I bet you are getting excited!
Meeting
Disney Characters is such a special opportunity to connect with your favorite Disney pals. In my experience, most Disney Characters are happy to sign autographs at Disneyland Resort. Yay! I suggest checking the
Disneyland mobile app after arriving in the theme parks to see which Disney Characters are greeting Guests that day. From the home screen of the app, select the "pin" icon (it is tear-dropped shaped) at the bottom of the screen to see the park maps. Tap the downward pointing arrow next to "Attractions" at the top of the screen, and choose "Characters." Move across the map to see where and when you can find the Disney Characters. It is super easy!
Keep in mind that some Disney Characters can only wave hello as they walk through the theme parks. For example, many beloved Disney Characters wander through Fantasyland and are often late for a very important date, such as Alice hurrying to a
Mad Tea Party! Batuuans and their Resistance friends (or their First Order enemies!) in
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge are usually happy to chat for a moment but cannot typically sign autographs in my experience.
My family likes to maximize our time at Disneyland Resort, which is why we often reserve Character Dining meals. Not only do we get to eat a delicious meal (usually breakfast), but we can also meet many Disney Characters at one time.
"Minnie & Friends - Breakfast in the Park" at Plaza Inn is my favorite Character Dining experience because it is located inside Disneyland Park. It is so special! Plus, we were able to hug some of my family's most loved Disney Characters there in the past, including Fairy Godmother, Winnie the Pooh, Pluto, and of course, Minnie Mouse!
Daphne, I hope you have a wonderful trip to Disneyland Resort! Don't forget your autograph book (or pick one up at a shop in Disneyland)!
Magic Happens!
