One of the coolest things about Magic Kingdom is the sheer variety of characters you can find. But here comes your super-friendly (and slightly annoying) reminder: some characters only appear during special events or have very short meet windows, so always check the Walt Disney World app for the latest character schedules!

Magic Kingdom is home to iconic seasonal events like:

• 🎄 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

• 🎃 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

• 🌟 And many more ticketed events that unlock even more rare character appearances!
