31 Days: Meeting the Characters at Disney

Hi friends!

So, do you want to know where you can meet your little one's favorite characters at Disney World? Well I'll share with you a few ways you can get this done! 

Disney Visa Card

If you have a Disney Visa Card, you can meet select characters in a private card members-only area in Epcot everyday and pose for photos! This is an awesome perk (among many other perks and discounts!) offered to card members. 

Character Dining

We go to Disney in large part because of the food, I'll admit. The husband and I are foodies, and Disney has some top notch eateries on property! So, if you love food, and your little ones love characters, consider doing a character meal! There are a ton to choose from- so pick your little one's favorite character, see what restaurants they appear at, and book a meal! Make sure you book 180 days out, as character dining is in high demand and can book up fast! 

Special Events

Check out some of the special events that Disney puts on throughout the year- Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, etc- as many times you can find unique characters are out and about during these parties! Sometimes you can only find certain characters at these events, as they're "retired" from appearing at the parks during normal park days!

At the Parks

Of course the most straightforward way to meet the characters? Visit the parks! There are dedicated character meet & greets throughout each park, as well as pop up locations (typically for lesser popular characters). So keep your eyes peeled :) And check out the Dance Parties at the various parks for character appearances too!
