Getting to meet some of our favorite Disney characters is a highlight of our days.

We know meeting them can be nerve-wracking, so we’ve got some good tips to help you past that anxiety, and then you can really feel excited about getting to meet Disney characters. It’s especially exciting if they’re in places you don’t expect, so we got quite the surprise in EPCOT when we found these two characters wandering around!
We walked by the United Kingdom Pavilion in World Showcase and found two pirates wandering around — Captain Hook and Smee!

Both of them were getting guests and posing for photos together. It’s quite rare to see these two out and about so this really was a treat. It does make sense though since Peter Pan takes place in London!

This is your reminder to always keep your eyes peeled in EPCOT around the World Showcase — you never know who you’re going to see! Especially near the America Pavilion, you may catch the Character Palooza, which is a good chance to see some rare characters.
