Hi there, Nevada, and welcome to planDisney! It brings me great
joy to meet my favorite characters in the parks when I vacation at the Most Magical Place on Earth! It's been the source of many core memories for me over the years; one of my favorites was sharing gumbo recipes with Tiana years ago in Magic Kingdom Park! She and my girls even had a heated discussion about whose dad makes the best gumbo - there might have even been a quick flash of
anger about it!
Currently, Joy is greeting guests inside of ImageWorks at EPCOT. She shares the space inside with Figment, and you can find updated daily hours for her meet-and-greet availability in your
My Disney Experience mobile app. Character meetings are always subject to change, but have no
fear, the app is the best resource for up-to-date information on the day of your visit!
In related news,
Joy will be relocating to Disney's Hollywood Studios later this summer. Her new meet-and-greet will be at
Pixar Plaza starting on June 10.
While you're visiting EPCOT, be sure to check out the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, where you can frolic in the magic of the springtime season with delightful
character topiaries, outdoor concerts, and pop-up kitchens with unique sweets and treats! Stick around after dark to delight in the newest nighttime spectacular,
Luminous The Symphony of Us!
I hope this helps you to find Joy on your upcoming Disney vacation, and I'm wishing you many magical core memories of your own, free from
disgust! Come back to
planDisney anytime if we can help again with any other tips, recommendations, or vacation planning advice!
See you real soon,
Alison
