We’ve met our fair share of characters in Disney World. From random appearances in the parks to surprise visits at the resorts, you never know where you might run into a Disney character!
Hey, Moana!
During a recent visit to EPCOT, we stumbled upon a BUNCH of friendly Disney characters. The entire interaction was such a blur — and a thrill — that we just had to share it. After all, our experience feels all the more special when we get the chance to show all of YOU what kind of surprise Disney magic you may find on your next visit to the parks. Now, come with us!
We saw eight — that’s right, EIGHT — Disney characters in EPCOT. All at the same time! Talk about our lucky day, right?

As we were walking through the World Showcase, we noticed a GIANT cluster of characters walking our way. We first spotted Pooh and Tigger waving hello!
Hi Pooh and Tigger!
We could also see King Louie and Smee off in the distance as well.
So many characters
Behind them, we were able to stop and say hello to Wendell, who was VERY energetic…
Wendell had a lot of energy!
…we got to say hello to Pinocchio and Gepetto as well…
Pinocchio AND Gepetto
…and then we said a quick hi to Gideon, who is also from Pinocchio!
Gideon!
