Remember that line on Disney’s famous PeopleMover attraction that goes, “The PeopleMover is the perfect vehicle for people-watching. So keep your eyes peeled; you never know who you might see!” Well, it turns out you don’t have to take a ride on the PeopleMover to find an unexpected friend in Disney World!
You never know who you might see!
Sometimes, wandering off the beaten path or visiting the aquarium can lead you to a character sighting — we love when that happens! During our recent visit to the Magic Kingdom, we found TWO characters hanging out in a new location!
Before the pandemic, guests could meet LOTS of Disney characters in Storybook Circus! Since then, the old character meet and greet location has remained closed, and random character sightings started popping up around the parks.
Pete’s Silly Sideshow is closed for now!
Right next door is Big Top Souvenirs, which is one of the larger gift shops in the Magic Kingdom. But we’re not here to talk about what’s inside Big Top Souvenirs today!
It’s a feat trying to spend less than $100 in there!
Look who we found outside Big Top Souvenirs in Storybook Circus; it’s Chip and Dale! We don’t typically see the chipmunks over in this part of the Magic Kingdom, so this was a fun little surprise!
Look who we saw!
As we mentioned earlier, most traditional character meet and greets have not returned to the Magic Kingdom, with the exception of Mickey, Princess Tiana, Princess Rapunzel, and some other visiting princesses! Chip and Dale don’t have a set meet and greet location (for now), so finding them is sort of like a random scavenger hunt. You can check the My Disney Experience app for a full list of set character meet and greet times.
What a random place for the chipmunks to be!
It’s always fun to see the characters hanging out in Disney World — especially when you aren’t expecting it! In the meantime, stay tuned for all the latest Disney news and park updates!
