Please note that times are subject to change. Please check Walt Disney World’s website, the My Disney Experience app, or ask a Cast Member in the parks for accurate information.
Classic Characters
Mickey Mouse
When at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Mickey Mouse likes to wear his Sorcerer’s Apprentice outfit from Fantasia. You can find him at the Red Carpet Dreams building, across from the Sci-Fi Diner. While Mickey and Minnie don’t meet together, they can be found in the same spot. Mickey meets guests from park opening to 8:00pm. There will be, on average, a 30 minute wait.
Minnie Mouse
Minnie Mouse is meeting guests right next to Mickey, in the Red Carpet Dreams building across from the Sci-Fi Diner. Since this is Hollywood Studios, she has dressed for the occasion and wear a pink evening gown worthy of a red carpet event. She meets guests from park opening to 8:00pm. There will be, on average, a 30 minute wait.
Chip and Dale
These two lovable chipmunks meet guests in the Animation Courtyard area at 4:00pm. They are only out for a short time, so keep an eye out for them on the My Disney Experience App if they are a high priority for you.
Pluto
Pluto has his own meet and greet area next to the Disney Junior characters in the Animation Courtyard. He meets guests all throughout the morning and into the late afternoon.
Princesses
Ariel (from the 2023 live-action film)
Ariel has donned her human legs to meet guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! You can find her in the Walt Disney Presents theater from 9:00am-4:30pm. After 4:30pm, the theater is used to show the short film One Man’s Dream. To find out more about where you can meet the princesses at Walt Disney World, check out this article.
Olaf
(Okay, Olaf isn’t technically a Disney Princess. But he is in a Disney Princess movie, so we’ll go ahead and count him here.) You can find Olaf the snowman at Celebrity Spotlight, located in Echo Lake near Vacation Fun. Olaf meets from approximately park opening to 6:00pm. Since Olaf is a popular character, it is not unusual for wait times to meet him to reach over half an hour long. You might have more luck with a shorter wait time after 3:00pm. Remember to give him a warm hug!
Pixar Characters
Woody, Buzz, and Jessie
Woody, Buzz and Jessie meet guests periodically in Toy Story Land. You can usually find them near the big Woody and Toy Story Land sign. Sometimes you will see all three together, sometimes you might see just one character by themselves. Be sure to ask a cast member for up-to-date information on who will be out that day. These characters are beloved by many generations, so you may have to put your patience pants on and wait in line for a photo op.
The Incredibles
If you wander down the avenue of Pixar Place, you may come across some incredible characters! Mr. and Mrs. Incredible can be seen periodically. There is a patterned wall at the end of the street. This is where Mr. and Mrs. Incredible take pictures with guests.
Edna Mode
From park open to 5:00pm, Edna Mode is meeting guests at the Edna Mode Experience in Pixar Place. Her meet and greet area is filled with her most stylish superhero designs. Remember, no capes!
Frozone
Frozone also has his own photo op in Pixar Place. A little ways down, there is a blue wall with snowflakes on it. This is where Frozone meets guests throughout the day.
Sully
At the very end of Pixar Place are some colorful, patterned walls. This is where you can find Sully from Monsters, Inc. He greets guests throughout the day.
The Green Army Men
If you are wandering around Toy Story Land throughout the day, chances are you’ll come across the Green Army Drum Corps. The Green Army Men march around the land and play drums while on the lookout for any danger. This is not a traditional meet and greet, but on occasion the Green Army Men will take photos with guests, so long as you don’t blow their cover.
Star Wars Launch Bay Characters
BB8
This little droid can be found inside Star Wars Launch Bay, from about 10:00am to 6:00pm. On average, there will be a 15 minute wait.
Chewbacca
Chewie meets guests from 10:00am to 6:00pm inside Star Wars Launch Bay. Wait times to see this Wookiee can get up to 20 minutes.
Darth Vader
Dark Father is located in the Star Wars Launch Bay building from 10:00am to 6:00pm. He is a popular character, so sometimes his lines can be longer than BB8 or Chewbacca.
Disney Jr. Characters
The best way for kids to see Disney Junior characters is at the Disney Junior Dance Party. This is an interactive character experience detailed in this post. But if you are wanting a cute pic with these pals, then you can see them outside of the theater for a meet and greet. Just inside the Animation Courtyard, you can meet many Disney Junior pals like Doc McStuffins, Fancy Nancy, and Vamprina. These characters each have their own little photo op area. They are meeting guests from approximately half an hour after park open to the late afternoon.
