food IS a theme park
Today is the day! We get to meet a new character at EPCOT.
EPCOT
It has been an exciting time at EPCOT this year. We have added some friendly faces that you can see around the park. For example, Mickey and Minnie have been meeting in their Disney100 costumes. We got to welcome Moana’s meet and greet beside her new attraction. Now, we get to meet Asha today from Disney’s newest film, Wish, and we’re taking you along with us.
The best part of visiting Disney World and Disneyland is seeing ALL the characters. There are meet and greets, character dining experiences, roaming characters, rare characters, and more.
EPCOT
Of course, you never know exactly WHO you’ll run into in the parks, but there’s one character we’ve been anticipating — Asha from Disney’s new movie, Wish! Disney announced a while back that she would be coming to meet at EPCOT and Disneyland, and now we have some exciting news about her arrival.
We’ve got BIG news character fans!
Destination D23 stage
We’re still mourning the closure of Vanellope’s meet and greet spot at the Imagination Pavilion in EPCOT, but also still anxiously anticipating the arrival of Figment later this year, however, it seems we’ve got more characters to be excited for sooner rather than later! [Read more…]
Finding one of the most popular characters in Disney World just got easier.
Galaxy’s Edge
There are some pretty amazing (and even some exclusive!) character experiences in Disney World. Some characters are easier to spot since they have dedicated meet-and-greet locations, but other characters might only pop up for a few minutes at unexpected times. That was the case with one particularly popular duo, but now it seems things have changed.
We are only a few days away from the official opening of the wholly re-imaged Mickey’s Toontown in Disneyland!

We are so excited to try out the new food locations and eats coming to the land, but now we can also look forward to a NEW character meet and greet!
We’ve seen a lot of new character interactions pop up in Disney World recently!
Cinderella Castle
From the Mandalorian and Grogu to The Incredibles, there are plenty of new ways to stop and visit your favorite Disney pals in the parks. But coming soon, we’ve got a new meet-and-greet in Disney World that we think will be VERY popular!
When you visit Disney World, there are probably a few major things you’ll want to check off your to-do list!
EPCOT’s World Showcase
Obviously, you’ll want to do a few rides, and you’ll probably want to see at least one fireworks show. For many guests, character meet and greets are also a priority, and you’ll likely have a list of your must-meet friends. But sometimes, random characters pop up in the parks and surprise us…like what happened today!
We may have found the cutest thing at this year’s D23 Expo. Yes — the cutest.

Disney’s stirred up the excitement with huuuuuge announcements about parks, movies, and celebrations. But we’re going to shift your focus away from those exciting reveals for one second (we promise it’s worth it). Wall-E is at the D23 Expo today…but we hung out with him last night. And you guys — you won’t believe where he was.
If you haven’t been to the parks lately, Disney World may look different during your next visit.
Winnie the Pooh
Of course, there have been big changes, like the new attractions, services, and shows appearing around the parks. But we’ve also seen changes in the form of returned offerings, like traditional character meet-and-greets and holiday parties. And, speaking of meet-and-greets, we’ve seen a toooooon of characters return to the parks recently. And the momentum isn’t stopping, as some familiar friends popped up in Magic Kingdom today!
Halloween has already started in Disney World!
Halloween is HERE!
We’ve been eyeing the festive jack-o’-lanterns and fall-themed wreaths that are lining the streets of Magic Kingdom, and now we’re counting down the days until Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off! Speaking of this spooky event, Disney just announced that guests will soon be eye-to-eye with a RARE character at this year’s party and we’ve got all the info!
