This year marked the return of character meet-and-greets in Disney World and Disneyland Resort…and it has us thinking.

Of course, we’re excited to hug Mickey and Minnie, the Disney Princesses, and more classic characters. But there are soooo many other characters we’d love to see around the resort. And, if you’re anything like us, you have a list of dream meet-and-greets too. So…what are they?
We took to Facebook to ask our readers, “What character meet-and-greets do you want to come to Disney World?” Here’s what they said!
Villains
We got a ton of responses begging for Disney Villains! And while they can be found at special events and areas, one reader shared that they’d like them available “all the time, not just during Halloween or the DVC lair.”

We’d love to see a character area solely dedicated to Disney Villains as well. And while we wait for this to happen (if it ever does — fingers crossed), we’ll just have to say “hi” to the Disney Villains over at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Or we can try to catch Cinderella’s Stepsisters in Magic Kingdom every now and then!

Mirabel
Many readers also shared they’d love to have Mirabel at Disney World! While you can spot her in the Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade in Magic Kingdom…

…we don’t have an actual meet-and-greet like Disneyland guests do.

We would love to see her get a meet-and-greet at Disney World too! With an occasional appearance from Bruno, of course. But we won’t talk about that.

Raya
Again — Disneyland has yet another character meet-and-greet that we’re pretty jealous of. Guests of Disney California Adventure got the chance to meet Raya this year!

We’re hoping she’ll eventually get her own meet-and-greet in Disney World too — even if it’s just for a limited time.

Moana and Maui
A lot of readers also said Moana and Maui are dream meet-and-greet characters too!

We’ve seen Moana in Disney’s Hollywood Studios before, but it’s been quite some time since we’ve gotten to meet her. Well…not in treat-form, that is.

And Maui? That would be a fun meet-and-greet we’d be thanking Disney for. (You’re welcome.)
