Hiya, Megan, and welcome to planDisney!
As a proud Mouseketeer who lives every day as if she's a resident of Never Land who never grew up, character meet and greets are one of my very favorite topics! There's nothing quite like the joy that results from seeing your favorite Disney characters in person whether you're a child or a child at heart, so let's talk Tink!
Unfortunately, Megan, Tinker Bell is not currently greeting Guests at Walt Disney World Resort, and with the signage for her meet and greet at Town Square Theatre removed earlier this year, it doesn't seem that she is expected to resume regular appearances any time soon. Of course, just because Tink isn't scheduled for a regular meet and greet at this time doesn't mean that she might not pop up during your vacation. A list of planned character appearances is helpfully listed in the My Disney Experience app each day. I've also been l fortunate enough to spot a few rarely-seen characters make surprise appearances in EPCOT near
Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Crafts Drafts & Barbecue and
Gateway Gifts. While it is by no means guaranteed (I wouldn't suggest sharing the information with your girls), it can't hurt to monitor the app and keep your eyes peeled just in case a pixie-dusted surprise presents itself.
Although your family might not get to spend quality time with Tinker Bell during your upcoming vacation, it doesn't mean that you won't have the opportunity to wave hello! Tink regularly appears in Magic Kingdom Park as part of the
Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade in addition to her nightly (weather permitting) flight from Cinderella Castle during
Happily Ever After. My husband and I recently enjoyed Magic Kingdom's fireworks from Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant as part of the
Seats & Sweets fireworks desserts party, and Tink flew right over our heads! It was such a magical conclusion to an incredible day!
As a bonus tip: Don't forget that your family can also enjoy a pixie-dusted flight alongside Tink from London to Never Land aboard the recently refurbished
Peter Pan's Flight!
While I'm sure this isn't what you were hoping to hear, Megan, I hope the information I provided was helpful as you attempt to find your favorite fairy. As always, please feel free to
stop back by if you are in need of further advice. I'm always happy to help!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
