We’re full of SWEET, SWEET, JOY today! Did our little hint clue you in? Recently, Disney has been bringing back some of their long-missed entertainment offerings, including the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular and the Citizens of Hollywood (for one day) — and there’s MORE entertainment returning soon!
Welcome BACK!
Today, though, we’re in EPCOT to celebrate the return of two spunky, hilarious Disney characters that we’ve missed dearly. Come with us as we say hello!
Over in the Imagination Pavilion in EPCOT, Vanellope von Schweetz is BACK!
Look who’s back!
We said hello and took a (socially distanced) selfie with the queen of racing! It was so nice to see her back in Disney World! Vanellope is out and saying hello to guests over by Journey into Imagination with Figment at the moment; check the My Disney Experience app to see when she will be out!
Forget sugar rush, we’re on an adrenaline rush!
Welcome back, Vanellope!

She’s not the only character to return to EPCOT, though! Joy is also back in the Imagination Pavilion!
What a JOY!
Joy was happy to be back! She made sure to point out a few things, like this Imagination Land castle! Something else to note it that these meet and greets have PhotoPass photographers available to snap a pic!
Meet and greet AND show and tell!
Next time you’re in EPCOT, say hello to the characters! It’s always such a joy (we had to!) to talk to our friends. Be sure to stick around — there are MORE characters to see while the day is young!
