Now greeting guests are:
• Pinocchio
• Mary Poppins
• Jiminy Cricket
• Bert
These appearances are scheduled at various times throughout the day, with exact schedules listed in the My Disney Experience app. Because of their limited availability, catching these classic characters in the park feels like stumbling upon a bit of Disney magic you don’t see every day.
Jiminy Cricket, for example, has typically only appeared during Earth Day celebrations at Animal Kingdom, while Mary Poppins and Bert are most often associated with EPCOT’s United Kingdom Pavilion. Pinocchio has been an especially rare sight at Walt Disney World, making his appearance at Hollywood Studios an extra special treat.
For fans of Disney history and classic films, these meet and greets are a golden opportunity to snap photos, share a hug, and relive the magic of some of Walt Disney’s most iconic stories. Whether you grew up singing “A Spoonful of Sugar” or wishing upon a star, these encounters are sure to spark plenty of warm memories.
So next time you’re at Hollywood Studios, be sure to check the app, line up, and say hello — you never know when these treasured characters may disappear again.
