Ever since the Disney parks shut down in 2020, there’s been a snowman-shaped hole in our hearts. Disney has been slowly bringing back some popular shows and entertainment, like the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular and Festival of the Lion King, but there are still some characters we haven’t seen in a while!

There’s someone we’ve been missing!
Well, friends, it’s a HAPPY day, because a beloved Disney character is BACK in Disney World! Of course, we had to go and say hello, so let’s pop over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for some (socially distanced) warm hugs.
As of January 15th according to Cast Members, Olaf is back in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We met him over at The Celebrity Spotlight character meet and greet location, which is right next to the area where you can say hello to Minnie.
Olaf must have sensed the chilly winter air and known it was finally time to come to Disney World! And he’s brought summer with him! He does love summer, doesn’t he?
Olaf will meet guests daily from 10AM to 5PM. When we got to Hollywood Studios, the official wait time to meet him was 20 minutes, but it only took us 5 minutes! However, time can fluctuate throughout the day.

Olaf is BACK!
Distanced character meet and greets are slowly coming back to Disney World, so we’ll continue to be on the lookout for your favorite characters to return! We’re always on the hunt for the latest Disney news and park updates, so stay tuned for more!
