Best Character Meet And Greets At Magic Kingdom

Meeting your favorite Disney characters is a huge part of the Disney World experience for many guests. While you can spot characters during parades, shows, and even while dining, character meet and greets give guests the opportunity to interact with their favorites one-on-one. Magic Kingdom is home to several character meet and greets featuring classic characters, princesses, and newer Disney favorites. Whether you are traveling with children or simply want a photo with a favorite character of your own, these are some of the best character meet and greets at Magic Kingdom.

Mickey Mouse at Town Square Theater

You can’t visit Magic Kingdom without saying hello to the mouse who started it all! Mickey Mouse meets guests at Town Square Theater near the entrance to the park.

Mickey is dressed in his magician outfit for this experience, making for some adorable photos. This meet and greet is also conveniently located on Main Street USA, so you don’t have to travel far into the park to find him.

Ariel at Her Grotto

Located in Fantasyland near Under the Sea- Journey of the Little Mermaid, Ariel meets guests in her very own grotto.
