In each of the Disney parks, guests can meet fan-favorite characters like Mickey and the gang, Disney Princesses, and even classic characters such as Chip & Dale and Cinderella’s step sisters! Fan-favorite experiences such as Ariel’s Grotto and Enchanted Tales with Belle recently returned, and we just found out that even more experiences would be coming soon.

Disney announced that more characters would be joining the array of meet-and-greet experiences this year, and they’re pretty exciting. If you’re wanting to plan out which of your favorite Disney icons you can meet soon, keep on reading!

Of course, Moana has been known to show up in the parks for special events like the Halloween and Christmas parties, but this is the first time she will have a permanent location of her own — well, during Animal Kingdom’s 25th Anniversary Celebration, anyway. She’ll be there starting April 22nd.

Mirabel

This one is exciting for sure! We’ve seen Mirabel in parades at Disney World, but for the first time ever, we can meet her in Magic Kingdom this fall!
