Hi Amanda,
Welcome to planDisney! One of my favorite experiences in
Disneyland Resort is the character interactions! My favorite interaction was when I first met Dr. Facilier creeping around the back streets of
New Orleans Square. He required a soul in exchange for a photo, so I had my friend take the picture and traded his soul. But don’t worry. He’s just fine…on the other side.
One of the joys of character interactions is their unpredictability! Characters love roaming through the parks and interacting with guests in unique ways to ensure each guest has a magical experience. While some characters do still ride the attractions such as
Mad Tea Party or interact with guests while in the queue, there is no guarantee they will ride on the day of your visit. That’s what makes the character sightings and interactions so fun! It’s as Walt Disney once said - “It’s fun to do the unexpected!”
Download the
Disneyland Mobile App and review the character list the morning of your visit! You can review which characters will be in the parks, their location in the park, and at what time of day! While there is no guarantee they will ride the attractions, I can assure you it will be a fun and unforgettable experience.
I hope you and your daughter have a magical visit!
Tiffany
