Character Meet & Greets
Type
Character Meet and Greet
Best For
Kids
- I’m almost 30 years old, but I still get just as excited by a hug from Winnie the Pooh or taking a picture with Ariel as I did during my first visit to Disney World as a preschooler.
- Characters were great and well worth the wait.
Tips & Facts
- Get there early. If there is a character you want to see and you know where the meeting place will be, line up before the character arrives.
- Watch for ‘unlisted' characters. Not all of the characters or character meeting spots are listed in the Times Guide.
- Expect to wait. The one item that most slows down a character greeting line is character autographs.
- If you’re getting autographs from the characters, bring a fat pen or crayon, making it easier for the characters to hold.
- Don’t forget to keep your camera handy—magical moments like these are worth remembering forever!
- As early as 30 days in advance (with FastPass+), you can secure a time for some of the character Meet and Greets.
