Hi Zane,
I love a good
Disney character meet and greet. The pictures and interactions are priceless especially when you are visiting with little ones. Even when I go with my adult friends, character pictures are still some of my favorites! I always bring something for them to sign and keep as an extra special souvenir. I have seen people getting their drink cups signed recently which I thought was a really fun idea!
Pocahontas can be found at
Disney's Animal Kingdom near Discovery Island most days. As always characters are subject to change but she was there the last few times I visited. I just checked the My Disney Experience app for today and it says she is still available. This is one of my favorite character meeting locations because the backdrop of the lush Animal Kingdom landscape is really beautiful.
Mulan is also available in both Magic Kingdom and EPCOT right now. I prefer getting a photo with her in EPCOT at the Great Hall of China in the World Showcase because the ambiance is great and makes the perfect backdrop. She also meets friends in Magic Kingdom at the Town Square Theater Porch.
I always recommend using the
My Disney Experience app to see which characters are currently out and about greeting guests since these experiences do change from time to time. To find out who is available on the day you are visiting simply open the app, navigate to the map feature (the second icon from the left on the bottom), and filter by "Characters." You will be able to see them on the map and in a list view.
If you plan on doing a couple of character meet and greets, purchasing
Memory Maker is a must-do. The
PhotoPass photographers do such an amazing job of getting the action shots while you are meeting new friends and the posed ones that you would typically expect. Once you purchase Memory Maker, all of your photos for the trip are included so stop at as many PhotoPass locations as possible and make the most out of it. You can also use the map feature in the My Disney Experience app to see where all of these are located.
Happy Planning,
Jenna
