food IS a theme park
Meeting favorite characters can be some guests’ favorite part of their Disney vacation.
Chip and Dale!
We’ve got a list of where to find ALL the character meet and greets in Disney World, but sometimes characters surprise us and say hello in unexpected areas. While we were walking around EPCOT today, we noticed that a very popular yet rare princess was greeting guests near the International Gateway!
It’s an exciting time to be a fan of The Little Mermaid.
Live-Action Ariel Meet-And-Greet
The new live-action The Little Mermaid movie is now playing in theaters, there’s a ton of NEW Ariel merchandise, AND the live-action version of Ariel is now meeting guests in Disney World. However, you might notice that there are TWO Ariel meet-and-greet experiences in Disney World, and the My Disney Experience app has changed how it lists these experiences.
Let’s face it, we all have our own favorite Disney characters.

And it’s the best when you can actually meet your favorite characters in and around the parks. There’s a very popular character that started meeting recently, and there’s typically a 2.5 hour+ wait to meet her! We got the chance to say hi to her, and we wanted to share the deets on how to have your best chance to meet Moana, too!
If you’re a Disney fan, chances are you have an absolute favorite, number-one, top character you just can’t get enough of.
Hey, Mickey!
And, if that character just so happens to be one you can actually meet in the parks, well, that’s even better! We’ve met our fair share of classic Disney icons, but soon, we’ll have another face to say hi to — because Disney just announced that a new character meet and greet is coming to the parks!
Part of the fun of going to Disney World is meeting our favorite characters — and there are just SO many to meet.
Animal Kingdom
Obviously, meeting Mickey and Minnie is a priority for many. But you can also meet some of your favorite princesses, the occasional rare character, and even Disney villains. But a NEW character spot has popped up to meet Disney World. Here’s a hint: how far will YOU go to meet her?
It’s the day AFTER Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration ended, and SO MUCH has already changed in the parks.
Town Square Theater
We’ve seen new park maps at EPCOT and Magic Kingdom. There’s a new Annual Passholder card available. There’s been a costume change at a Magic Kingdom show. Now, Mickey Mouse HIMSELF has changed.
We are only a few days away from the official opening of the wholly re-imaged Mickey’s Toontown in Disneyland!

We are so excited to try out the new food locations and eats coming to the land, but now we can also look forward to a NEW character meet and greet!
Yesterday was a very busy day for Walt Disney World news, and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with everything they threw out to us.
