Character Meet and Greets at Walt Disney World – Hollywood Studios Edition

Today we’re hopping over to the East Coast to explore the character magic of Walt Disney World! With four parks and countless dining experiences, the opportunities to meet your favorite Disney characters are endless—and sometimes, you’ll even find different versions of them depending on which park you're at!

📝 Quick Tip: Characters at Disney World don’t roam quite as freely as they do at Disneyland. Most are found in designated spots, and that’s where the My Disney Experience app (make sure you’ve switched to Disney World!) becomes your best friend. Some characters only appear for short windows or during special events, so check the app often to make the most of your visit!

🎬 Hollywood Studios Character Meet and Greets

Hollywood Studios may not be my personal favorite park, but it’s packed with character experiences—some classic, some rare, and all magical. Here’s a list of characters you might meet, including some who’ve appeared in the past and could return again:

• Doc McStuffins

• Fancy Nancy

• Pluto

• Vampirina

• BB-8

• Chewbacca

• Darth Vader

• Ariel (live-action version)

• Minnie Mouse (Old Hollywood glam—so fun!)

🎭 With all the construction and updates happening at Hollywood Studios, character availability can shift—so keep your eyes peeled and your app handy! Also watch for sneak peeks at who will be out at Hollywood Studios - Jollywood Nights! You never know who may show up!

💬 Personal Note: I tend to breeze through Hollywood Studios, hitting my favorite attractions and heading out. But next time, I’m making it a point to slow down and soak in more of these character meet-and-greets!

Let me know you're favorite Hollywood Stuidos experience!
