Preparing Your Little Ones for Meeting Magic Kingdom Characters

Growing up watching all the classic Disney movies allowed me to learn the looks and even personalities of the Disney characters. It is easy to assume that our children MUST know all the characters… they ARE Disney characters, right?! How could they NOT know who Chip, Sebastian, and Roo are? My four year old has not had the time to learn all these famous Disney characters the way you and I have. While preparing for our upcoming trip to Disney, I put together this fun list of characters to add some extra magic to our visit. We are making sure my daughter is up to speed on all the Magic Kingdom Disney characters she will see and meet! 

The meet and greet with the characters is a big highlight at Disney especially for the younger children. If they aren’t familiar with the characters, it takes away from their experience. Making sure you are educated on which characters to be seen at the Magic Kingdom, where they are located, and also making sure your children know each of the characters makes the experience that much more fun!

Let’s Take a Look at the Disney Characters You Will Find at the Magic Kingdom

This is not a full list as Disney often has guest characters out on the streets of Main Street and in the parade. Some of the guests that have been greeted by in the streets during past visits are Mary Poppins and Bert, Clarabelle, and Dopey. We have also seen White Rabbit, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum with the other Alice in Wonderland Characters. These characters are not listed in the Meet and Greet on Disney’s website but are often able to be seen in the Magic Kingdom.
