Magic Kingdom Characters Guide (with Tips, Autographs, and Photos)

This article provides a list of Magic Kingdom Characters. We’ll preview the characters at Magic Kingdom and everything you need to know to meet them, from their locations to anticipated wait times.

You’re planning a day at Magic Kingdom, and your children have mentioned half a dozen characters they hope to meet. Your schedule is already daunting with a lengthy list of rides and entertainment, and your mother-in-law insists on taking the time to get a family photo with Mickey Mouse.

At least the photo will make for a fun souvenir. As you let out a heavy sigh, you think, how will we squeeze in all of the character meet-and-greets at Magic Kingdom?

It’s true–meeting characters at Magic Kingdom can be quite a task. Nearly 25 characters have daily dedicated meet-and-greets.

However, with a bit of planning, you can narrow down the ones that are most important to your group. Then, you can schedule each character’s meet-and-greet into your day where it best fits.

Aladdin and Jasmine

Aladdin and Jasmine meet as a couple in Adventureland at Magic Kingdom. This is the only location at Walt Disney World to meet Aladdin, except for the Halloween and Christmas parties.

However, Princess Jasmine has a separate character meet location at Epcot in the Morocco Pavilion. She also participates in character dining at Cinderella’s Royal Table.

Details for the Aladdin and Jasmine Character Meet:

Aladdin and Jasmine meet in a partially covered tent directly behind Agrabah Bazaar Market in Adventureland. They meet intermittently throughout the day. You’ll want to check their exact times in the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit.

This Magic Kingdom character meet-and-greet is extremely popular. Like most character locations, you’ll want to get in line before the scheduled time.

We arrived early and waited 40 minutes to meet Aladdin and Jasmine at their last listed time for the day. However, a cast member cut the line shortly after we joined because it had reached capacity.

Remember, when meeting characters–If you’re not early, you’re late.

Aladdin and Jasmine love to talk about magic carpets, Abu, Rajah, and Agrabah. However, they’re probably not fans of the evil Jafar. He did a number on Jasmine’s dad one time.

Both characters sign autographs, and a PhotoPass Photographer is often available. Additionally, they meet in this location with Abu and Genie during the seasonal holiday parties at Magic Kingdom. However, those meet-and-greets are extra-ticketed events.

The line to meet these Magic Kingdom characters is often long.

Anastasia and Drizella

Over the years, we’ve met Cinderella’s evil stepsisters many times. While I’m not a huge fan of villains, this character meet has won me over.

Anastasia and Drizella are two of the most entertaining characters at Magic Kingdom. Yes, they are every bit as loud, obnoxious, and rude as you would expect.

Anastasia and Drizella

Details for Anastasia and Drizella

But their personalities make them hilarious. On my last visit, Drizella asked how I was doing. Anastasia butted in and said, “Well, would you like to know how I’m doing? “

Smirkily, I replied, “Sure, why not.”

Drizella burst into laughter, but Anastasia, never cracking a smile, said, “Not very well.” Then she went on with her typical whining about how bad things were.

I recommend mentioning something that might rub them the wrong way. Don’t worry. They’ll love you for it. The worse the reaction, the better the meet.

Anastasia and Drizella meet directly behind Cinderella Castle next to Cinderella’s Fountain. Both characters sign autographs, and a PhotoPass photographer is usually available.

As always, you’ll want to check the My Disney Experience app for their exact times on the day of your visit. Additionally, the sisters roam Fantasyland during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Ariel

Ariel, as The Little Mermaid, is one of the more unique characters in Magic Kingdom. She meets guests daily in Ariel’s Grotto in Fantasyland.

This character meet is usually open from 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. However, you’ll want to check the exact times in the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit.

This character meet is part of the Genie+ service and has a separate Lightning Lane. Since it often holds long waits, you might consider using a Lightning Lane if you purchased the upgrade.

Previously, you could meet Prince Charming, Lady Tremaine, and a few other characters at 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian. Unfortunately, that restaurant has not reopened.

Country Bears

The Country Bears roam Frontierland throughout the day. Their times are usually listed in the My Disney Experience app, but not always.

These guys are true-roaming characters. Therefore, cast members do not allow lines to form for the Country Bears. So, if you see one, you must catch them while you can!

Country Bears that roam the area include Big Al, Liverlips, Shaker, and Wendell. They usually roam the area outside of their attraction, Country Bear Jamboree. Here is Liverlips, who is expected to receive a name change to Romeo McGrowl.

Jack Sparrow is a talking character and, as you can probably imagine, a rather interesting one. Conversations range from pirate-y drinks, spoiler it’s rum, to hidden treasures.

Unfortunately, I don’t know where any treasures are buried, nor does he. Or so he claims.

Regardless, you’re sure to leave this fun Magic Kingdom character meet singing to the tune, “Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Pirate’s Life for Me.”

The queue for this meet-and-greet is entirely outdoors. Given their popularity, you can expect a long wait in the sun.

Since this meet-and-greet is located outdoors, the characters do take breaks often. So if you see them leaving while you’re waiting, don’t fret. They will return momentarily.

Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, and Winnie the Pooh meet daily at Crystal Palace, a character dining location in the Magic Kingdom. Winnie the Pooh has another meet-and-greet at Epcot.

You can find the times for it under the “entertainment” section of the My Disney Experience app. Feel free to scroll through these photos to see some of the characters.

Final Thoughts

Magic Kingdom is a tremendous park with lots of characters. Hopefully, this guide gave you an idea of who you want to meet and where to find them.

We recommend sprinkling character meets into your day here and there. However, remember that it is essential to know when the characters meet.

The last thing you want is to plan to meet Mirabel and then go to find her at 5:00 p.m. only to learn her meet-and-greet has already concluded for the day. Many of the characters only meet during limited windows of time.

Unfortunately, those schedules can change. You’ll want to check the My Disney Experience app on the morning of your visit to see what characters are scheduled and their times.

Additionally, character meet-and-greets can change on a whim due to the weather, emergencies, or other issues. So be aware that things happen, and if they do, it’s always better to roll with the punches.

Don’t let missing a character meet, a fun snack, or an attraction ruin your day. The main thing is to enjoy the time with your family.
