Hi Nichole! Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with your question!
It’s been great to see character meet and greets returning in some form to the Walt Disney World Resort! At the
Magic Kingdom Park in Princess Fairytale Hall, you’ll be able to find
Cinderella,
Princess Tiana, and other visiting Princesses. You can still get a personalized visit by talking to them and taking pictures with each. The only difference is you will need to do so from a safe distance as Olaf’s famous “warm hugs” are still not allowed.
Mickey Mouse himself is meeting once again at the Town Square Theater and is fully dressed up in his EARidescent outfit for the
Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration!
While Sofia the First is not currently meeting at Walt Disney World, there is a variety of Disney Junior characters to meet at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Vampirina, Fancy Nancy, and Doc McStuffins are all currently meeting at Animation Courtyard! The meet and greets all take place outside and each area is decorated so well to match the character’s personality. My daughters on our trip last month had a blast interacting with each of them. We didn’t find the lines to be too long for any of these experiences, so this is an excellent option to try out during the middle of the day when wait times on attractions can get rather long.
There are a few more places to catch these same characters for different experiences.
Disney Junior Play and Dance! is an interactive experience where your little ones will get to show off their moves while playing along with the characters. You can also dine and enjoy a tasty meal with some of these same Disney Junior characters at
Hollywood and Vine. I suggest making an Advanced Dining Reservation for breakfast at this Disney’s Hollywood Studios restaurant. We had a great time here and it’s the perfect way to kick start your park day!
Nichole, there are plenty of chances to see all your favorite Disney characters! The
Festival of Fantasy Parade just returned to the Magic Kingdom Park this past week and has been a welcome addition. It’s one of my favorite experiences in all of Walt Disney World and gives you a chance to see countless characters from all walks of Disney!
Have an amazing time on your upcoming summer vacation! Stop back to
planDisney with any questions you may have!
See ya real soon!
