Want to meet 50+ Characters at Disney…. Here is how!

 

 

MICKEY MOUSE – Right when you enter Magic Kingdom, go into the Town Square.  Other places to see him are The Magic of Disney Animation (Hollywood Studios).  While there, you can also see, MR. INCREDIBLE and FROZONE.  Plus one other hit Disney movie…  March 2013, it is WRECK IT RALPH and VANELLOPE.

Outside in Animation Courtyard (at Hollywood Studios) you can see HANDY MANNY and JAKE from Jake and the Neverland Pirates.   I have heard that DOC McSTUFFIN and SOFIA the FIRST will be joining them in the near future. 

Other Characters to see at Hollywood Studios include PHINEAS and FERB (located by Mama Melrose’s Ristorante),  MIKE and SULLEY (By Backlot Tour), WOODY and BUZZ (across from the Toy Story Mania Ride) and MATER and LIGHTNING McQUEEN (by Streets of America)

If you want a fun Breakfast at Hollywood Studios, eat at Hollywood and Vine with AGENT OSO, JUNE, HANDY MANNY and JAKE. 

Back at Magic Kingdom, in Town Square by Mickey, you will also find some of the Princesses.  You can see CINDERELLA, AURORA and RAPUNZEL.  Other great places to see the princesses are at one of two breakfasts.  There is a Princess Breakfast in Cinderella’s Castle and there is also a breakfast in Norway at Epcot.  Princesses you will see at the breakfasts include: CINDERELLA, AURORA, SNOW WHITE, JAZMINE and ARIEL. 

Other Characters that could be handing out in Town Square are DOPEY, MARIE, PLUTO and GOOFY.  Behind Cinderella’s Castle is another great spot to see some famous faces.  We ran into LADY TREMAINE, DRIZELLA and ANASTASIA.  The FAIRY GODMOTHER loves this location too.   Then head towards Alice’s Teacups and you could run into ALICE herself, the WHITE RABBIT and TWEEDLE DEE AND TWEEDLE DUM.  Don’t mistake the WHITE RABBIT for POOH’s RABBIT friend who you can find right around the corner at the Pooh Ride with POOH and TIGGER!

As you enter Adventureland (MK) keep a look out for PETER PAN!  There is also a great little spot where you can be turned into fairies to meet TINKER BELL, ROSETTA and some of their other fairy friends.  By the Magic Carpet of Aladdin you should find ALADDIN and JASMINE.  Sometimes the GENIE makes an appearance too.  In Frontierland (between Splash and Thunder Mountain) hidden behind the play area, JESSIE and WOODY like to sign autographs.   You can find BUZZ next to his ride in Tomorrowland.

In the new Fantasyland, GASTON waits by his Tavern for photos.  You can see the BEAST if you eat at his new castle and BELLE is available for photos at the Enchanted Tales with Belle.  Pete’s Silly…… has characters ranging from MINNIE, DONALD, GOOFY and PLUTO.   There is a great Meet and Great for ARIEL right next to her new ride!

Another great spot to see MICKEY, MINNIE, DONALD, DAISY, GOOFY and PLUTO are at Epcot at the Character Spot.  It is a great way to stand in one line and see them all!!!  Outside of the Character Spot on your way to The Land, you will find CHIP and DALE playing in the bushes.   Make sure to check for Characters outside of Imagination! as they are not listed but we ran into ALICE, CINDERELLA and her STEPMOTHER LADY TREMAINE  there. 

Around the worlds at Epcot is another great place to see some of the characters.  DONALD DUCK is in Mexico!  You will also find MULAN at China, SNOW WHITE in Germany, JASMINE and ALADDIN in Morocco, AURORA in France and MARY POPPINS, ALICE in WONDERLAND, POOH and TIGGER in the United Kingdom.  We managed to be Jasmine and Aladdin’s last family one night and they took us on an adventure through Epcot looking for Abu.  What a Magical Moment we will never forget!

Characters are also located throughout Animal Kingdom.  Definitely stop by Camp Minnie-Mickey!  You will find PLUTO and GOOFY in DinoLand.  Pocahontas is usually in Asia somewhere.  If you travel out to Rafiki’s Planet Watch, you will be surprised by characters such as JIMINY CRICKET, RAFIKI himself and others.  Across from It’s Tough to be a Bug! down by the water, you can find POOH, TIGGER and EEYORE! 

There are several locations throughout Walt Disney World where you can eat meals with the characters.  Here are some of my favorites:

CHEF MICKEY (Contemporary Resort) – MICKEY, MINNIE, DONALD, GOOFY and PLUTO

HOLLYWOOD and VINES (Hollywood Studios) – JAKE, AGENT OSO, JUNE and HANDY MANNY

BE OUR GUEST (Magic Kingdom) – THE BEAST

CINDERELLA’S ROYAL TABLE (Magic Kingdom) – CINDERELLA, SNOW WHITE, AURORA, JASMINE & ARIEL

TUSKER HOUSE RESTAURANT (Animal Kingdom) – MICKEY, MINNIE, DONALD, DAISY

CRYSTAL PALACE (Magic Kingdom) – POOH, EEYORE and TIGGER

1900 PARK FARE (Grand Floridian) – MARY POPPINS, ALICE IN WONDERLAND, PRINCE CHARMING

*Some change for each meal so make sure to ask when you book your meals.  You can do so up to 180 days in advance so I would book early!

DISNEY CHASE CARD – If you open a Disney VISA through Chase, you get a special Meet and Greet at Epcot with two Characters.  We did it twice …. Once with MINNIE and GOOFY and the other time with MICKEY and PLUTO.  You get to go in a special room and take as much time as you want with them!  This is located in the Innovention’s building.
