Disney Character Meet and Greet Experiences Are Returning to Walt Disney World

October 5, 2021 mtp

After more than a year of being unable to meet your favorite Disney characters due to the ongoing pandemic, Disney is reopening several meet and greet locations – with some changes!

Indoor character meet and greets are returning to two Walt Disney World theme parks, according to Disney.

Per Disney Parks Blog:

Over the past year, beloved Disney Characters have been popping up in cavalcades, motorcades, flotillas, and surprise sightings, much to the delight of our guests, and I’m pleased to tell you many of those experiences will be continuing. Although the environment is not right just yet for hugs and autographs, you’ll soon be able to have individualized time with some of your favorite characters, getting to visit with them in a themed location and snap a photo or two. Look for the Disney Princesses to return to Princess Fairytale Hall in Magic Kingdom Park.

And when you stop in to see Mickey Mouse backstage at Town Square Theater on Main Street, U.S.A., he’ll be sporting his all-new EARidescent look designed just for the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration! Each of these locations is planned to start welcoming guests in November.

The following are some of the indoor meet & greets that will be returning:

Mickey Mouse in his 50th Anniversary EARidescent outfit at Town Square Theater in the Magic Kingdom
Minnie Mouse at Red Carpet Dreams in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Disney Princesses at Princess Fairytale Hall in the Magic Kingdom
Disney Junior Stars in the Animation Courtyard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

The above meet and greets will take place again in November, though no specific date has been announced. Hugs and signatures will not be allowed during this time, but attendees will be able to interact with the characters one-on-one and snap photos.

The many cavalcades, motorcades, and flotillas that will be present throughout the parks will continue to perform.
