Hi Rebeka,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thank you for your question. Your Walt Disney World Vacation is almost here! I hope you’re having so much fun counting down to your visit and doing all your Disney dreaming.
At this time, I have no news about Moana’s plans for the new year. She “knows the way” to Walt Disney World, and she has set her course for Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom Park in the past, so here’s hoping her voyages will bring her back to the line where the sky meets the castle. I recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for the latest character news.
Merida is another fiercely independent and family-focused Disney heroine – I love your taste in characters, Rebeka! Merida does greet Guests in Fairytale Garden in Magic Kingdom Park. FastPass+ is not available, but I haven’t waited long to meet her in the past, and she is really fantastic to meet, with some fun interactions up her sleeve. I recommend checking her hours (they can be found on
Merida's meet and greet web page) and arriving either right when she begins meeting Guests, or later in the day.
Rebeka, have you seen the “Characters” feature in the
My Disney Experience mobile app? Using the app’s interactive map, click the drop-down menu and select “Characters.” From there, you can explore the theme park maps and see which characters are meeting in real time.
Have so much fun on your upcoming vacation, and please stop by again if we can help with any other questions as you plan, and pack, and daydream about your magical vacation.
With pixie-dusted wishes,
Robyn
