Character Meet and Greets At Walt Disney World #disneyside

We recently visited Walt Disney World for the first time. During our stay, we got to meet several of the characters that we know and love from Disney movies. For most characters, the lines are not especially long and many even sign {or stamp} autographs for you. So, you will need to get an autograph book to put your autographs and pictures in. They have them available at the different stores at Disney World or you can make your own autograph book.

Character Meet and Greets at Walt Disney World

Winnie the Pooh and Tigger were super friendly. We all even got several hugs a piece from both Winnie the Pooh and Tigger and Tigger even tried to knock the pen out of Winnie the Pooh’s hand when he was signing our autographs. It was really funny meeting them.

We all love Stitch and were really excited to meet him. Jay and I actually saw him while we were waiting to meet Buzz Lightyear, so we followed him afterwards so that we could meet him, too. Most of my favorite Disney characters are from Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Winnie the Pooh and Stitch, so my life was pretty much complete by the end of this trip. 🙂

As I mentioned, Jay and I met Buzz Lightyear. However, Amber and Mackenzie were lucky enough to meet BOTH Buzz Lightyear and Woody! And Buzz Lightyear kissed her hand and then they play fought over her. What fun!

Amber and Mackenzie also got to meet a few characters from Alice In Wonderland as well as a few Disney princesses, including Aurora {see below} and Donald Duck {see below}.

Jay and I also got to see some of the Cars characters and we met Mike and Sully from Monsters Inc. These are not all of the characters that we met, but some of our faves!

  • We go to Disney every year, so we've met them all at this point. Now when we go, we don't see them unless we are at a character breakfast.

  • What a fun day! You can add these pictures to all the other celebrities and famous people you have met! But I think these are by far the most fun!

    • These are definitely really fun! It was just as fun meeting Tigger as it was Carrie Underwood. They both rock!

  • I haven't been to Disney in forever but when I went the best part was meeting the characters. Love the photos!

  • It sounds like you had a great time. I'd love to visit Disney with the family. They've added so much to the park over the years.

  • Ah! Hope to one day go to Disney and be able to meet some characters this looks like such fun!

  • I would love to go to Disney again. I have not been there since i was a little girl. I can remember being so excited when i met Goofy.

  • It looks like you all had so much fun! I can't wait to go to Disney World for the first time. I would love to meet any of the characters from Toy Story and Monsters Inc. My daughter would most like to meet Monsters Inc. characters, I'm sure.
