Welcome to planDisney, Shannon! Thanks so much for sending us your question. I'm happy to help!
Isn't it the best news ever that the magic has returned and we can finally give and get hugs from our favorite, beloved Disney characters?!
Character greetings will return beginning on April 18th and I'm so excited for you and your daughter that you will have these special interactions during your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation! Your daughter can look forward to hugs, handshakes, high fives, autographs, and photos!
Be Our Guest Restaurant at
Magic Kingdom Park is one of my favorite dining locations and seeing the Beast greet his guests is always so fun! While I'm unable to confirm that there will be
Disney PhotoPass photographers on hand to take your daughter's photo, you will be able to take her photo if you would like to capture this special memory.
If there are other characters that your daughter would like to meet, you can use the
My Disney Experience app to find them! Simply select the location icon at the bottom of the home page in the app. You can then filter by the location you are visiting and select characters from the pull-down menu at the top.
I'm wishing you a pixie-dusted vacation during
The World's Most Magical Celebration! As you are planning, please visit us again at
planDisney if you have any additional questions. We're always happy to help!
Happy Planning!
Lisa
