Walt Disney World continues to offer such great ways to enjoy the magic of Disney in a reimagined way. Check out the newest pop-character that fans are so excited to see in the Magic Kingdom.

Reimagined Magic

Even though Walt Disney World reopened a bit different than in the past, the Disney magic was new and very much present as Guests returned “Home.” From the joy of pop-up characters found throughout the Theme Parks to even the joy of daily Character Cavalcades, Guests were still able to safely interact with their favorite characters.

We have loved the great Character Cavalcades that have received holiday overlays for both Halloween and for the Christmas season. Although the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Parties have been cancelled, Guests can still enjoy great holiday themed cavalcades that include parade floats from the Christmas party parade.

Pop-Up Characters

Throughout Walt Disney World, Guests can see their favorite Disney characters “popping-up” at various locations. Guests have loved seeing both Winnie the Pooh and Joy in EPCOT.

pop-up characters are a great way to interact with your favorite characters and take a selfie with them while maintaining social distancing.

In Magic Kingdom, Guests have spotted both Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket above Pinocchio’s Village Haus. In Frontierland, the Country Bears and even Chip ‘n Dale can be seen greeting Guests above the Country Bear Jamboree Theater.

At the Crystal Palace, Guests have loved seeing Piglet, Rabbit and Eeyore from the Hundred Acre Wood. Also spotted at this location have been Wendy and Peter Pan.

From the Walt Disney World Railroad Station, Guests can be serenaded by the Dapper Dans. Throughout the day they may also spy the Disney Princesses, and even Mickey and his pals. You can check out a full list of pop-up characters HERE.

New Pop-Up Character

Guests visiting the Magic Kingdom today were delighted to spy a brand new Pop-Up Character at the Crystal Palace. Our favorite pals, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, can now be found greeting Guests in their best holiday dress.

When Mickey and Minnie are not greeting Guests in their Holiday Cavalcade, they can be found in these same festive outfits at the Crystal Palace.

This is such a great opportunity to interact with Mickey and Minnie and even grab a selfie with them too. In the past, Guests could interact with Mickey and Minnie at the Walt Disney Railroad Station. Although this was a great interaction it was sometimes difficult to take photos and interact due to the distance.

The Crystal Palace will offer a much better location for photos and it will also offer a better interaction as well. If you are traveling to the Magic Kingdom this holiday season, be sure to stop by the Crystal Palace.
