![]() ![]() As a reminder, here’s what is still missing from Disney’s Hollywood Studios as compared to pre-closure:Īs another reminder, we’ve been saying for the last two-plus years that Hollywood Studios is the most frustrating park at Walt Disney World. These character additions are a step in the right direction, but frankly, the resources might be better used in more substantial ways. With that said, this really just scratches the surface of what’s needed at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I’m happy to see there be a healthy balance of both types of character experiences, and wish Walt Disney World would do this with more characters that draw ridiculous meet & greet waits. The latter was one of the best additions of the phased reopening, and we openly hoped that this type of character encounter–mixed with traditional meet & greets–would become a permanent fixture of Walt Disney World.ĭistanced characters are great for livening up the park and offering entertainment value without having to wait in a long and slow-moving line. ![]() I also appreciate the mix of meet & greets and distanced character sightings (or whatever they’re being called now). The park has a lot of that, and it breathes life into areas that have been neglected or are otherwise uncrowded. I also appreciate that some of these characters are being strategically-placed in ‘dead space’ at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I love to see Disney’s Hollywood Studios getting love–and more ways to fill the day. In that spirit, our commentary will be looking this gift horse in the mouth… for safety’s sake. The most famous horse-gift probably could’ve used a tad more scrutiny. That’s something my grandpa used to tell me a lot, and honestly, it was his one piece of proverbial wisdom that never made sense to me. (Disney California Adventure had one to promote the Disney+ movie for about a month last year.)ĭon’t look a gift horse in the mouth. This is huge news for children of the 90s who grew up on the Disney Afternoon, as it’s the first permanent Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers meet and greet in decades. This will be an ongoing meet & greet, with no end date currently set (h/t Attractions). The big news is that, following Clarice’s departure, the Rescue Rangers will begin appearing as a traditional meet & greet at the Adventure Outpost near Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular on February 15, 2023. ![]() Clarice Chipmunk can also be seen for Valentine’s Day, on a limited basis. It’s our understanding that these meet & greets for the Goofs is continual and not limited time magic.įinally, Chip and Dale can be seen wandering the courtyard near The Hollywood Brown Derby as part of distanced character encounters. Note that these are two separate meet & greets that are each (especially Max Goof as Powerline) popular, meaning that you’ll have to wait in line twice to meet both. Prior to that, Max Goof appeared as himself in a distanced sighting in Echo Lake. Max Goof previously appeared as Powerline during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and made an appearance as the character this month during DVC’s Moonlight Magic event (our photo below is from that). Goofy is dressed in his vacation attire previously seen during his Tower of Terror distanced sighting, while Max Goof is cosplaying as Powerline from A Goofy Movie! Over at the main entrance to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge on Grand Avenue, you’ll find Goofy and Max Goof meet & greets. ![]() All of the characters from The Incredibles are appearing at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on a permanent basis. This dynamic duo is currently making meet & greet appearances at 10:30 am, 11:00 am, 11:30 am, 12:00 pm, 12:30 pm, 1:00 pm, 2:30 pm, 3:00 pm, 3:30 pm, 4:00 pm, 4:30 pm, and 5 pm.Īlong with them, Edna Mode and Frozone appear as a distanced character sighting in a rotation on the patch of grass at the end of Hollywood Boulevard (near Echo Lake and Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway in the center of the park). Incredible and Elastigirl are now appearing next to Echo Lake across from Hollywood & Vine. Let’s start at the front of the park, where Mr. This post takes a look at the regular and rare characters at DHS, plus our commentary about what else this park needs on the entertainment front. Several new character meet & greets and distanced encounters are arriving at Disney’s Hollywood Studios throughout February 2023, some for a limited time and others on a permanent basis. ![]()
