Welcome to planDisney, Mariel!
Can you believe your magical vacation is just a few weeks away?!? I see that you're hoping to track down your favorite character during your visit, and as someone whose Disney vacations are not complete without a hug (or five) from her favorite duo of rascally chipmunks, I'm delighted to assist you in your quest!
I've channeled my inner Pluto and done a bit of digging, Mariel, and unfortunately, it doesn't seem that any characters from Atlantis: The Lost Empire are currently making scheduled appearances in Walt Disney World's theme parks, as the entertainment offerings are regularly updated to provide new experiences for new and returning Mouseketeers.
I'm sure this is disappointing to hear, so I did want to make sure you were aware that Walt Disney World Resort has been known to have some of its rare characters make appearances at special events such as
runDisney race weekends, seasonal parties, and
Disney After Hours events. While there's no guarantee that your favorites will pop up, these special events are where you're most likely to spot a character that doesn't regularly meet in the theme parks, so you might consider making one a part of a future vacation.
Of course, it's also important to keep in mind that
Walt Disney World Resort is also known as The Most Magical Place on Earth for good reason, so I suggest keeping an eye on the character list in the My Disney Experience app during your visit to see if any pixie dust pops up. I have also run into characters not listed in the app out and about in EPCOT a few times in recent years. While it's not a guarantee, I would check by the International Gateway entrance as well as the walkway between the America and Italy pavilions to see if any characters are making unannounced appearances.
I know this is not the news you were hoping for, Mariel, so I'm thinking the happiest of thoughts for magical meet and greets during your vacation and hope we'll see ya real soon here at
planDisney!
You've Got a Friend in Me,
Lizzie
