food IS a theme park
Today is the day! We get to meet a new character at EPCOT.
EPCOT
It has been an exciting time at EPCOT this year. We have added some friendly faces that you can see around the park. For example, Mickey and Minnie have been meeting in their Disney100 costumes. We got to welcome Moana’s meet and greet beside her new attraction. Now, we get to meet Asha today from Disney’s newest film, Wish, and we’re taking you along with us.
The best part of visiting Disney World and Disneyland is seeing ALL the characters. There are meet and greets, character dining experiences, roaming characters, rare characters, and more.
EPCOT
Of course, you never know exactly WHO you’ll run into in the parks, but there’s one character we’ve been anticipating — Asha from Disney’s new movie, Wish! Disney announced a while back that she would be coming to meet at EPCOT and Disneyland, and now we have some exciting news about her arrival.
Just when you think Avengers Campus can’t get any better– it does!
Avengers Campus
Avengers Campus at Disney’s California Adventure is FULL of immersive theming, delicious food (we’re looking at you, Shawarma), and character meet and greets that we used to only dream about. Disney has brought many of our beloved Marvel Cinematic Universe characters to life– from Spider-Man to Dora Milaje, there is always someone new and interesting to meet! Disney has announced a NEW character that we’ll be seeing in Avengers Campus!
There are quite a few things coming to EPCOT before the end of 2023.
EPCOT
By the end of the year, construction will be complete on the massive park transformation, and we can’t wait to walk through the middle of World Celebration again! Further down the road, we’ll be getting CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza, but first, we’ve got some new Moana-themed offerings. And now we’re heading to check one of them out!
If you’re traveling to EPCOT soon, be prepared for quite a few changes!
EPCOT
From the addition of Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana and the Figment meet and greet to the completion of the construction on World Celebration…the park is a completely different place than it was even just a year ago! And now, we’ve got news about another character meet and greet in EPCOT.
Things have been CHANGING with characters in Disney World!
Mirabel in Fairytale Garden
Just in the past several days, we’ve seen multiple character updates in Magic Kingdom. The Mirabel meet and greet officially opened in Fairytale Garden, and Bruno from Encanto joined the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade. But on top of that, one little-known meet and greet moved across the park!
We have HUGE news from EPCOT today!
Imagination Pavilion
It was announced yesterday at Destination D23 that the highly anticipated Figment meet and greet would be arriving in EPCOT today, and we’re here to check it out!
If you’re a Disney fan, chances are you have a favorite character — whether they’re from your favorite classic film or maybe even your favorite ride in the parks!
Monorail in EPCOT
Some people take their love of Disney characters very seriously (Hi, it’s us, we’re “people.”) and we’ve seen some pretty chaotic moments in Disney World because of it. Remember the Figment popcorn bucket fiasco from the 2022 EPCOT Festival of the Arts? Folks queued up in hours-long lines to snag the little guy — and now Figment is BACK causing chaos again.
Meeting characters in Disney World is all part of the fun (and we think it’s sometimes the BEST part of going to Disney World).
Moana in Animal Kingdom
We’re also really excited about new character meet and greets we’ve seen pop up recently, like the new Moana meet and greet in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Well, listen up, Moana fans, because a NEW meet and greet with her will soon be added to EPCOT.
We’ve got some HUGE news!
Hey Figment!
Back in 2022, Disney announced that a Figment meet and greet would be coming to Disney World, and then we got an opening timeline back in March. Now the time has finally come, DFB friends; it’s time to MEET FIGMENT!
