    Is it possible to meet Steamboat Willy and classic Minnie “the version where she wears a flower top hat” in the parks?

    Hi Jeremie!

    Welcome to planDisney!

    Steamboat Willie is one of my favorites! But unfortunately, at this time, there are no meet and greets available with Steamboat Willie or Minnie with her cute flower hat at Disney World. 

    With that being said, there is one spot where you might see Steamboat Willie…and that’s by checking out the nighttime show, Fantasmic, at Hollywood Studios. He’s usually steering the boat toward the end of the show, so keep a lookout!

    If you want to guarantee a great view of the show, consider booking a Fantasmic Dining Package during your trip.  This package allows you to eat at one of the select restaurants in Hollywood Studios and then enjoy VIP seats for Fantasmic later that night.  

    If character meet and greets are a big priority, I highly recommend booking your Fantasmic Dining Package for Hollywood & Vine. This is currently the only character dining option in Hollywood Studios, and I’ve always had such a good experience there. Great food and amazing character interactions!

    Now, before I let you go, I know of one other place to find Steamboat Willie, but this one takes some effort to spot. It’s a hidden Mickey – or should I say, a hidden Steamboat Willie! As you exit the attraction, Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid at Magic Kingdom, look to the right. If you find just the right angle, you’ll be able to see a hidden Steamboat Willie in the rocks!

    I hope that helps! Have the best time, and always feel free to come back here with any questions you have as you continue to plan!
