ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Guests at Walt Disney World will soon get the chance again to have individualized time with some of their favorite characters.
Disney announced Tuesday that indoor character experiences, which were put on pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will return in November, allowing guests to meet characters in a themed location and snap a photo.
The meet-and-greets will still include social distancing protocols between guests and the characters, as “the environment is not right just yet for hugs and autographs,” Disney said.
Cavalcades, motorcades, flotillas and surprise sightings, which allowed guests to still spot their favorite characters around the parks at a safe distance during the pandemic, will continue, Disney said.
