Where to Meet Mary Poppins at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Mary Poppins meets guests daily at a location listed as Hollywood Boulevard near Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. She rotates this location intermittently throughout the day with Bert and his penguin pal. This is currently the only traditional meet-and-greet for Mary Poppins at Disney World. We have, however, seen her strolling Main Street U.S.A. with Bert on several occasions as more of a surprise and delight offering. Below, we’ll discuss the specifics of meeting Mary Poppins at Hollywood Studios and share a few tips. You’ll want to remember she is practically perfect in every way.

Mary Poppins meets toward the front of the park near Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. On the day of our visit, she was meeting on the right side of the hedge. It’s important to note that Jiminy Cricket and Pinocchio rotate a meet-and-greet on the left side of the hedge. So you’ll want to ensure you’re getting in the right line for the character you desire to meet.

You could see Bert with Mr. Penguin meeting guests when you arrive. When we first got in line to meet Mary, she left a few minutes later. Soon after, Bert arrived to take her place. After meeting Bert, we just got in line again and met Mary when she returned. You’ll want to check the app or ask the cast member attending the line if she is coming back soon. You can stand to the side and allow others to go ahead of you if she isn’t back by the time you reach the front of the line. If you’re unsure what to do, just let the cast member attending the line know who you’re hoping to meet, and they’ll help out.

Mary Poppins signs autographs at this location. Unfortunately, a PhotoPass photographer was not available, but the cast member attending the meet-and-greet offered to help take photos for guests with their personal devices. As always, if you want to meet Mary Poppins at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you’ll need to check the My Disney Experience app for her exact times and location on the day of your visit. Here are our instructions for how to do so:
