Magic Kingdom Character Greetings

There are a couple different locations to find characters in the Magic Kingdom.   Here are some spots where you will be able to find them!

Mickey Mouse- Mickey used to be found in the judge's tent in Mickey's Toontown Fair, but since it has closed he can now be found at the Main Street Theater Hall.  He is usually there the entire day and you can even get FastPasses to see him to speed up your wait time.  Sometimes Minnie makes an appearance with Mickey later in the day, but don't be disappointed if she isn't there!

Disney Princesses (Belle, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White)- Any combination of these princesses  make appearances at the Main Street Theater Hall on a separate line from Mickey Mouse throughout the day.  Again FastPasses are available, but they will be separate from the Mickey Mouse FastPasses.

Classic Characters (Goofy, Pluto, Daisy, etc.)- These characters have been known to be out very early in the morning to greet guests in the Town Square.  When I say early I mean park opening to about an hour after the park opens.  If your children want to meet any of these classic characters, then definitely get their early because lines get long quickly!

Tinker Bell and her Fairy Friends-These characters can be found in Tinker Belle's Magical Nook for an experience like no other.  Beautiful wall art and flowers make this spot a great place for taking pictures with your favorite fairies.

Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen- These characters usually make appearances in Liberty Square near the Christmas Shoppe.  Check your times guide that is available at the park entrance.

Rafiki, Timon, Baloo, and King Louie- They can sometimes be found in Adventureland across from the Jungle Cruise.  Usually they only make appearances early on in the day and at high peak seasons.

Aladdin and Jasmine- Can sometimes be found outside of Magic Carpets of Aladdin.

Buzz Lightyear, Chip & Dale- Buzz makes appearances throughout the day next to the Carousel of Progress.  Check your times guide because lines can get extremely long for his character. Chip and Dale can be found nearby to Buzz and are often seen dancing in the show with guests near the Tomorrowland Stage.

Woody and Jessie- They have made many appearances in Frontierland near Splash Mountain.  Usually they are only out for a short part of the day.

Alice and her Wonderland friends- They have been known to make appearances near the Mad Tea Party, but sometimes it is not on the Times Guide and may happen at random points in the day.  If your child really wants to see these characters, ask a cast member near by if they know if they will make appearances that day.

Character Dining is also a great place to meet your favorite characters!

Crystal Palace- Located on Main Street U.S.A, this beautiful buffet is home to characters of Winnie the Pooh.  Pooh Bear, Eeyore, Tigger, and Piglet make rounds every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner throughout this restaurant.  This is a great way to get two things out of the way: eating and autographs! Don't worry if you miss a character because you are at the buffet, usually by the time you are finished eating they have come around again.

Cinderella's Royal Table- By far the most popular restaurant in all of Disney World, and rightfully so.  You can eat fabulous food inside Cinderella's castle while meeting everybody's favorite characters.  Cinderella greets her guests, takes pictures, and signs autographs upon your arrival.  Disney Princesses go around table to table at breakfast, lunch, and dinner to greet guests.  Some of the princesses include Snow White, Princess Aurora, and Belle, but others have made appearances as well.
