Hello, Ariel and Eric!

However, those visits are sporadic, and they are a surprise. There’s no schedule for when the Character Caravan, as it’s called, will pop up at your resort. But we have big news! Recently, Disney has begun offering scheduled character meet & greets at at least two of Walt Disney World’s hotel properties: The Port Orleans French Quarter Resort and the Wilderness Lodge Resort.

Signage for the Port Orleans offering appeared first, indicating that Disney characters (the sign doesn’t specify which characters or how many) will be appearing in the hotel lobby on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 9:30 AM to 10:20 AM.
