This RARE Disney Character Has a Brand-New Meet and Greet

This is a big year for Disney California Adventure! The second park in Anaheim is celebrating its 25th anniversary, which means lots of fun is on the horizon.

Any time a Disney park has something to celebrate, they don’t hold back! From a new popcorn bucket to limited-time treats, there are several new things to try. Another new thing on the horizon is a meet and greet featuring a Disney character making his debut!

A classic Disney character has made his debut in Disneyland! If you haven’t heard the name Humphrey the Bear, we would bet you’ve seen him. Humphrey the Bear made his debut in 1950 and has since been seen as a character throughout several Disney hotels and a theme park or two.

Now, you can actually meet Humphrey at Storytellers Cafe! This character dining restaurant is located at Disney’s Grand California Resort. The big bear will be one of the characters you can meet during Donald’s Tales of Adventure dinner buffet! At dinner, you can find a “bountiful California folklore buffet.”

If you want to dine with Humphrey and his pals, you can book advanced dining reservations up to 60 days in advance. This spot is fairly popular, so if it’s on your bucket list, don’t wait! Not only is Humphrey featured in several Disney shorts, but he also has his own store called Humphrey’s Service & Supplies at Disney California Adventure. He’s also the unofficial mascot at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge!

Not only is he at the resorts, but you can also spot him in Storybook Circus in Magic Kingdom! He’s everywhere if you just know where to look. Disney hasn’t shared if this new meet and greet at Storytellers Cafe is for a limited time or of he will stick around for a while!

We love that this classic character, who is normally just around for decoration, is now available for guests to meet! The celebrations for California Adventure’s anniversary also include Mickey and Minnie in all-new, vibrant outfits, a new Cake Shake at Schmoozies, the new popcorn bucket, new merchandise, and more.
