Characters are a ton of fun to interact with while hanging out in the Disney World parks!
Meeting characters is not just for kids! Kids and adults alike enjoy these special interactions. Hugging your favorite character can make anyone’s day extra special. There are some characters that you can find regularly around the parks. Joy, Mickey, Minnie, Ariel, Edna Mode, Olaf, and more have daily meet and greets in designated locations that you can visit. However, there are a few characters that roam at random times on random days, and some characters are extremely RARE to see out and about. The other day, we stumbled upon one of these rare meet-and-greets!
We were wandering around Hollywood Studios on July 19th when we headed into Toy Story Land. Here you can occasionally run into Woody and Jessie, but there’s one Toy Story character that we almost never see that happened to be there that day. Bo Peep!!
Bo Peep was meeting people in Toy Story Land with Jessie! It was a girl’s land that day, and we were so excited to see her. According to the character attendant Cast Member who was with her, she has been hanging out at a lot of private events lately, and seeing her out during a regular park day was very RARE.
These two gal pals were certainly having fun with their biggest fans!
You never know who you might see out and about in the parks! You can use your My Disney Experience app to check out the locations and times for characters who meet daily, but if you’re hoping to see a rare character, you’ll just have to keep your eyes peeled.
Every once in a while you may also happen upon a Character Palooza in the parks. These are when multiple characters come out all at once to greet everyone, and they can include rare characters as well. These are not scheduled and can happen randomly. So like we said, keep your eyes and ears peeled for anything!
Surprises like Bo Peep happen all the time in Disney World! There’s no limit to what a bit of Disney magic can bring to your day. Be ready to head to the parks, expect the unexpected, and keep a close lookout for anything extra fun going on.

I came across many characters in my 20 yrs of going to WDW. I think the rarest for me was Miss Bunny, Jimini Cricket,Flick and Suzy and Perla. I know theres more but I would have to look into my old pictures.
