Hi Aimee!
Welcome to planDisney! Meeting some favorite characters is always at the top of our must-do list when visiting Walt Disney World Resort and EPCOT is full of wonderful friends!
Aimee, I chatted with a Cast Member this morning and she was unable to confirm for me whether or not Figment was still meeting. I know this may not be what you were hoping to hear, but Figment is full of surprises on his ride,
Journey Into Imagination with Figment, so maybe he'll pop up to the delight of everyone next month! Many
character meetings are available to view on the Walt Disney World Resort website or in your
My Disney Experience Mobile App. In the app, simply click the location icon on the bottom menu and then change the dropdown at the top from "Wait Times" to "Characters." You'll see nearby characters on the map or can select "Show List" in the upper right to see everyone meeting that day. If you click on a character, it will open up more information about where they are meeting and their schedule for that day. In my experience, not every character greeting is listed here as Disney likes to surprise us with some of our favorite friends, so be sure to keep your eyes open during your visit!
Some character locations even offer Lightning Lane entry if you have purchased
Disney Genie+ service. These currently include
Cinderella and a Visiting Princess,
Tiana and a Visiting Princess,
Ariel at her Grotto, and
Mickey at Town Square Theater which are all at Magic Kingdom Park, as well as
Mickey and Minnie at Adventurer's Outpost at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park and
Olaf at Celebrity Spotlight at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Another favorite option for our family is
character dining. If you're looking for some harder-to-find characters (and a yummy meal!), you may want to check out the
Best Friends Breakfast at 'Ohana. Located inside Disney's Polynesian Resort, this breakfast is usually hosted by Lilo and Stitch (a rare pair!) and a few other Disney pals (often Mickey and Pluto). It's an easy location if you're staying at a monorail resort or are planning to visit Magic Kingdom that day. Advanced dining reservations are available and recommended, but you can also check
Mobile Walk-up Availability in your app that day.
Aimee, I hope this information is helpful as you track down some of your favorite character friends on your upcoming trip! Please stop by to see us again if you have any other questions in the future!
Cheers,
Kristi
