Characters You Can Meet & Greet at Disney World

Note that some characters have official meeting sites with queues and wait times posted, while others are more casual and just hang out in their designated areas. Also, some characters will roam around and sometimes stop for pictures, but there’s not an official line forming for them or anything.

Then, there are also dining experiences where you can meet characters while you eat! Finally, sometimes there are surprise appearances from characters in spots like the International Gateway at EPCOT or at the Disney World hotels that are completely random, so those will not be listed here, but know that they do happen!

Make sure you check your My Disney Experience app during the day to see what times these characters are meeting.
