Character meet and greets look a little different at Florida theme parks right now.

Cavalcades are all the rage at Disney World and Universal Orlando has also implemented physical distancing between guests and characters. While some things have changed, there’s one thing that stays constant. The characters always brighten our day and plaster a giant smile on our faces!
Gloria, the fabulous Hippo from Madagascar, was seen strutting her awesome self at Islands of Adventure in Universal. This time, she was wearing a very sensible grass skirt.

Her outfit wasn’t the only thing that was incredibly adorable. Just look at her make her moves to her meeting spot. What an absolute cutie!

Gloria’s new meeting spot is near Mythos Restaurant and Poseidon’s Fury. You can also spot other Universal characters here during the day. We hope Gloria’s visit brightened your day just like it did for us!
