One thing that sets Disney Parks apart from other Theme Parks is so many great character meet and greets. We all love classic characters like Mickey and his pals, but many Disney fans love rare meet-and-greets.

Our favorite Character Locator, Kenny the Pirate, has been meeting rare characters for over a decade! You can find schedules, tips, and more on Character Locator.

Now that Santa has worked hard delivering gifts, he is officially on a much-needed vacation. This means great new character meet and greets throughout Walt Disney World for guests.

Rare Characters

Our favorite pal, Santa Goofy, is now greeting guests at both the Odyssey in EPCOT and also at the 75th Annual Dino Institute Holiday Party on the patio at Restaurantosaurus.

Duffy rarely makes appearances at Walt Disney World, but guests can now meet Santa Duffy at “It’s A Wonderful Shop” for a limited time. Santa Duffy greeted guests earlier this holiday season at the special ticketed, Jollywood Nights event.

At Magic Kingdom, guests can meet Santa Stitch over at Storybook Circus. At this meet and greet, Stitch does not autograph, but guests receive an autograph postcard with wishes of a “Mele Kalikimake.”
