A surprise character is coming to EPCOT’s Germany Pavilion’s Der Tedddybar location starting June 9, 2025, through July 31, 2025. The real mystery is who this may be. Disney did drop a few clues: #1 this is a “beloved Disney character” and #2 “All my friends are famous”.

This meet and greet will begin at 10:00 am and will end at 6:00 pm daily. Of course, these times and availability can change without notice.

This is limited only to Walt Disney World Annual Passholders. Disney warns, “Due to possible high demand, please arrive early to have an opportunity to join the queue.”
