Hi there, Nancy!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Your trip to the Disneyland Resort is going to be practically perfect in every way!
I recently saw Mary Poppins Returns not only once but twice in the theaters, because I just loved the film SO much. It truly captured the essence of the original film but with a new story and such catchy songs. Despite this film being out right now, I'm happy to inform you that the original Mary Poppins Character is still present at the Disneyland Resort. In fact, just today I saw on the Disneyland app that Mary was meeting guests in Fantasyland of Disneyland Park, and a friend who was there today told me they even saw one of her famous penguins accompanying her! Character appearances are always subject to change, but my advice is to keep an eye on the
Disneyland app each morning of your trip. You can click "Characters" at the top of the map, then "Show List" to see a list of all scheduled Character meetings in both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. Always keep your eyes peeled, though, because I have often seen Mary and Bert wandering around the hub without actually being on the schedule.
If you are a fan of both new and old Mary Poppins, there are some amazing merchandise items available in the parks right now featuring this classic Character. You can get a preview of some on
shopDisney.com as well. I love the Disney Parks Dress Shop Collection dress that let's me channel my very own Mary or some of the new purses and accessories that honor the new film.
I hope this helps, and have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day!
