Welcome back, Jody!
I like the way you plan! Starting off your vacation meeting favorite characters in
Epcot is an excellent idea! Lines for
character experiences can vary depending on the time of year and even the time of day. In my experience, arriving about 15 minutes before the scheduled time ensures you are in the queue well before Cast Members cut off the line. The times I have met
Belle and
Mulan, there have been only a few Guests in line; however, when I've met
Aladdin and Jasmine together, many more Guests were waiting with me. Keep in mind that times are subject to change without notice, so be sure to download the
My Disney Experience mobile app to check the times while touring the park.
I hope this helps with your planning, and you can meet everyone on your must-do list! Please visit us again should additional questions arise!
Happy Planning!
