Hey there, Noah, and welcome to planDisney! Just like Rapunzel, you have a dream! You'd like to meet Br'er Fox - what an icon! We all love Br'er Fox for his wit, cunning, and playfulness. He has been, and continues to be, a cherished character among fans of all ages.
At this time, Br'er Fox doesn't have scheduled meet and greet times at Walt Disney World Resort. I'm often surprised when I stumble upon a character I wasn't expecting to see at a theme park - and it does happen - but there's not a way to predict if or when Br'er Fox will be available to greet guests in the near future. You can always keep an eye on the Walt Disney World Resort Website for updates about
Character Experiences.
Noah, I would love to share a couple of things with you about other amazing foxes we've gotten to know through Disney animation. If you've seen Disney's
Zootopia, you'll recall Nick the fox, who shares a lot of the endearing qualities we see in Br'er Fox. We are so excited because Shanghai Disney Resort has just opened a brand-new
Zootopia-themed area of the theme park, and you can even meet Nick and Judy at the Zootopia Police Department Recruitment Center! One of my favorite classics is Disney's
The Fox and the Hound, and I even found a
really cool figurine at shopDisney.com that shows the two unlikely friends!
I know you are hoping to meet Br'er Fox, and I want to be the first to tell you to hang on to that dream! Did you know that there is a museum in Eatonton, Georgia (my home state) that is dedicated to honoring the memory of the Uncle Remus stories? Joel Chandler Harris, the author of the stories, was from Eatonton, and, as we know, he went on to become quite a talented and well-known writer. His writings and the museum pay tribute to the fine citizens of his beloved hometown. You're definitely not the only Br'er Fox superfan out there!
Noah, you're always welcome back here at planDisney. I hope you have a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, Wonderful Day!
