Characters Are Coming BACK to Disneyland Resort!

We were wondering how Disney would celebrate Disney California Adventure’s 20th anniversary. And, it turns out, they’re going all out in true Disney style and inviting guests BACK into the Disney Park in a new way.

Beginning March 18th, 2021, the park will reopen to guests for a ticketed event — A Touch of Disney! During the event, you’ll be able to reunite with some of your favorite Disney snacks like Dole Whip, churros, and even the Monte Cristo Sandwich. On top of that, there will be NEW merchandise, a NEW soundtrack, AND some opportunities to say hi to a few Disney characters you’ve missed! Before we get caught up in talking about all the food and dining, let’s talk about exactly WHO you can meet when you’re BACK at Disneyland.

Tower of Terror

We feel like we’ve gotten to know them pretty well through interactions and random sightings around the parks, but we trusted YOU, our DFB readers, with this mission. So we asked you on Instagram to compare your favorite characters to Disney World rides! Here’s what you said.

Cinderella Castle

But what about some of the more unexpected rules?? Let’s take a look at eight of Disney World’s weirdest rules…and why they exist!

Of all the changes at Disney World this year, the one that we’ve loved the most might be the character cavalcades!

Mickey at EPCOT

Seeing Mickey and friends riding through the World Showcase or spotting our favorite princesses headed down Magic Kingdom’s parade route really helps us to feel the magic in the parks. We especially enjoy watching the unique holiday cavalcades around the parks, and post-Christmas, one of them got a switch-up!

Photos! We Spotted the New Character Caravan RV in Disney World Today

Even though we don’t have traditional character meet-and-greets and meals right now, Disney has been very creative when implementing ways for us to interact with our Disney friends!

Pluto!!

Just this morning, characters returned to Chef Mickey’s at the Contemporary (in socially-distanced fashion), and we’ve seen several fun cavalcades and distanced meet-and-greets in the parks. We speculated a few weeks ago whether or not characters might come around to visit the Disney World Resorts again, and then we spotted some friends over at Disney’s Grand Floridian last week! Today, we saw a few characters again, this time at Disney’s Riviera Resort! And they showed up in a cool ride!

Character meet and greets in the Disney parks are a little different right now.

Pixar Motorcade

Each of the parks has character cavalcades — “mini parades” that allow guests to see their favorite characters strolling through the park for a short time. However, we’ve also seen a number of physically distanced meet and greets in Disney World, like Buzz in Tomorrowland, Captain Jack in Adventureland, and Winnie the Pooh next to the Imagination Pavilion. The character meets have also changed over in Galaxy’s Edge, and today we noticed some new differences…namely an outfit change with one of our heroes!

Joy from ‘Inside Out’ Got a Festive Makeover in Disney World!

By Lydia Storks Leave a Comment

We love seeing our favorite characters around Disney World!

Mickey Mouse

Due to the pandemic, traditional character meet-and-greets transformed into socially distanced and cavalcade-style versions. Now that it’s Christmastime, we’re seeing several of those offerings getting seasonal makeovers! We have Christmas cavalcades, flotillas, motorcades, and promenades in the four parks, and we’ve seen characters wearing their holiday best to wave at guests from a distance. Now another character is donning their Christmas gear — Joy from Inside Out!
