Find Your Favorite Disney Character

What You Need to Know

If you want to meet — or even just see — your favorite characters when you visit Disney World, you're in luck! We've compiled a complete list. Here's what to know before you go!

What characters are at the Walt Disney World Parks?

More than you may think! The catch is that not all characters are available every day, so you might need to do a little detective work before you go.

Are there any characters we can definitely count on?

— Disney Fab 5 (Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, — Donald, and Daisy) — Disney Princesses  — Pixar and Star Wars stars

Are character meets guaranteed? 

Not at all! If you want 1:1 time with a character you have to make it happen. There are three ways to make this dream a reality...

1. Character Meals

The best way is to dine at a Disney restaurant that has the characters you would like to see. (This is one of our top things to splurge on while at Disney.)

2. Traditional Meet N Greet

Like other attractions, this requires waiting in line before meeting your character and getting to ask questions and take a picture. (Book in advance if using Genie+.)

3. Informal Meets

The parks have daily character experiences that are quite spontaneous. These can begin and end quite suddenly. These are usually posted day-of in the My Disney Experience app and the times guide, so be sure to check!
