Hi there Tessa, it's great to have you here at planDisney!
When it comes to those
magical moments meeting Characters during any Disney vacation, it's great that there are a lot of options available to guests ranging from scheduled meet and greets to
Character dining experiences and even surprise appearances at the theme parks. There's an additional bit of magic to be found at the
Disney Hotels, where Pixar pals, MARVEL heroes and some of our favourite Disney friends in unique exclusive outfits show up - often in the mornings or evenings depending on the location and here are a few important things to know for anyone looking to meet them:
- Characters appear during scheduled times at the other Disney Hotels (with the exception of Disney Davy Crockett Ranch) and during our most recent stay this year we noticed that there were consistently long queues to meet them. At the current time, Cast Members have been observed requesting proof of stay such as a MagicPass in order for folks and families to get in line. Policies for these offerings as well as the availability of Characters, their location and timing may be subject to change without prior notice so it's always a good idea to speak to the Cast Members during your visit to confirm where or when they'll show up and whether you're eligible to do so.
Hope this helps, Tessa; for those staying at the Disney Hotels, part of the appeal definitely includes these special perks and there are certainly many guests who are happy to see the Cast Members enforcing these policies to make sure they can enjoy everything included with their stay! Come back to us here at planDisney again soon for any other tips, answers or advice ahead of your visit and stay updated with the latest and greatest on the
Disney Parks Blog in the meantime!
Here's to all of your magical meetings on your next trip!
Prince
