Hello Loren!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with such a fun question—let’s dive right in!
You’re right that character meet and greets aren’t currently available through
Lightning Lane Multi Pass. But don’t worry, there’s still plenty of magic to be had! If you’re planning a Disney
Private VIP Tour, you’ll get access to many attractions with shorter waits. E
ven if lightning lane access isn't available, your guide can help you map out the best strategy for meeting characters in the parks. Overall, Disney Private VIP Tours are an incredible way to spend a day. Pro tip: if your tour will start late morning or early afternoon, you can kick off your day before your tour with your favorite meet and greets. The lines are the shortest at park opening!
Another fantastic way to skip the lines and meet some of your favorite Disney friends is through Character Dining. Imagine enjoying a delicious meal while Mickey and his pals come right to your table for hugs, photos, and high-fives! For an adventure-filled experience, I highly recommend
Tusker House Restaurant at
Disney’s Animal Kingdom. You’ll typically get to meet Mickey, Goofy, Donald, and Daisy in their adorable safari outfits, It’s an absolute treat!
If dining with Disney royalty sounds like your happily-ever-after, then
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in
EPCOT is perfect for you. This regal dining experience lets you rub elbows with some of Disney’s most beloved princesses in a magical setting that’s fit for a queen!
No matter which option you choose, you’re bound to make memories that will last a lifetime. Have the most magical time meeting your favorite characters!
