A ton of characters are returning for meet and greets in Disney World!

Last year we saw the return of Star Wars Launch Bay where you can meet Chewbacca, BB-8, and Darth Vader, as well as the return of Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, a ton of Princesses, and Peter Pan to Magic Kingdom! One fan-favorite meet-and-greet spot in Magic Kingdom has been noticeably missing for a while now, however — but not for long!
Get excited! today Disney shared that character meet and greets will be returning to Pete’s Silly Sideshow in Storybook Circus in the Magic Kingdom on January 15th.
