Hiya Dianne,
Welcome to planDisney! We are always excited to answer your questions about Walt Disney World Resort (and Disney Parks in general)!
I’m with you, Dianne, I love Tinker Bell! My heart still swells every time I see her soar above Magic Kingdom during
Happily Ever After. Unfortunately, despite wishing on the second star to the right, Tinker Bell meet and greets have still not returned to Walt Disney World Resort. We don’t have any indication of when and if she will return for meet and greets, but you can still catch our favorite pixie-dusted character flying ahead in Happily Ever After (weather permitting), as I mentioned,
Disney Starlight, and during select other parades such as Mickey’s Boo to You and the
Festival of Fantasy. In the meantime, keep an eye out on
Disney Parks Blog and check in to your
My Disney Experience mobile app. We may hear of an announcement of a character greeting coming or even find a magical surprise encounter during an upcoming visit. If you’ve never checked your mobile app for a character greeting, select the map icon (second choice at the bottom of the screen). Then, on the top of your screen, select “Characters.” Next, click the “Show List” option in the bottom right-hand corner and see if Tink appears. You never know, but I’m pretty sure faith and a little pixie dust are all you need.
I hope this was helpful, Dianne. As your friendly pixie-sized panelist, I promise to keep sending out my pixie dust so that Tink will return soon. Please come back and see us if you need anything else.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
