If meeting characters is a priority during your next Disney vacation then check out some of the best character meet and greets at Hollywood Studios.
Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse
Of course, Mickey and Minnie are two characters that you won’t want to miss during your day at Hollywood Studios. Guests can meet the pair at Red Carpet Dreams where they are dressed for the occasion. Minnie Mouse meets guests in her glamorous red carpet gown while Mickey appears as the Sorcerer’s Apprentice from Fantasia. This meet and greet is a great opportunity to see Mickey in one of his most iconic looks while also getting photos with Minnie.
Toy Story Characters
Toy Story Land is one of the best places in Disney World for guests who love Toy Story. In addition to attractions like Slinky Dog Dash and Toy Story Mania, guests can also meet some of their favorite toys while exploring Andy’s backyard. Characters can be found throughout Toy Story Land, making these meet and greets easy to add into your plans while spending time in this area of the park.
Olaf
Do you want to give a warm hug to everyone’s favorite snowman? Olaf meets guests at Celebrity Spotlight at Hollywood Studios. This indoor character meet and greet is a great place to escape the heat for a few minutes while getting a photo with Olaf. Frozen fans can also pair this experience with For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration for even more Frozen fun during their park day.
Pixar Characters
Hollywood Studios is also a great park for meeting Pixar characters. Guests can head over to Pixar Plaza where several familiar faces can be found throughout the day. Current character experiences include Edna Mode, along with other Pixar Pals. This area is especially fun for families with kids who love Pixar movies and gives guests another opportunity to meet characters outside of the classic Disney lineup.
Darth Vader
Star Wars fans can come face-to-face with one of the most recognizable villains in movie history at Hollywood Studios. Darth Vader currently meets guests near the entrance to Star Tours – The Adventures Continue. This character experience is a bit different from your typical Disney meet and greet and can be especially fun for older kids, adults, and anyone who loves Star Wars. Guests should check appearance times during their visit so they can work this experience into their plans.
