CHaracters At The Magic Kingdom

In the Magic Kingdom, you don’t need to go too far to see your first character. Two of Disney’s most iconic characters are right in Town Square at the Town Square Theater. This place is to your right as you cross under the track of the WDW RR. The largest assortment of Characters are found in Fantasyland, but Adventureland and Tomorrowland have some character encounter as well.

You can save time by meeting more characters in the same place and even see some you won’t find anywhere else. Dining reservations are required for these character dining experiences so make sure you book well in advance.

Epcot holds a lot of Disney characters to discover in its two hemispheres. The World Showcase offers character meet and greets in many of the pavilions. From the United Kingdom to China, Disney princesses and other characters with origins in these countries can be found there, in distinct photo locations and immaculately themed environments. In Future World the animated characters from Disney and Pixar films come to life on sets specifically for special photo moments. Some have been relocated or are scheduled to close soon due to the changes at Epcot.
