I think Hollywood Studios has the most diverse characters to meet. The two biggest attractions to Hollywood Studios is Toy Story Land and Galaxy’s Edge. Both have great opportunities to meet characters. Hollywood Studios also has a great area for younger children to meet some of their favorite TV show characters.
In Galaxy’s Edge you will see many Star Wars characters roaming. Stormtroopers are always walking around patrolling. You can even spot them on top of buildings to get a topical view of the crowd. Kylo Ren also roams the area with Stormtroopers. Ren and Chewbacca are also known to walk around. These characters are not “meet and greet.” You can’t wait in line to get an autograph with them. If you would like to experience the “meet and greet” with Star Wars characters you can find Darth Vader, Chewbacca, and BB-8 at the Launch Bay theater!
Toy Story Land is my favorite spot in Hollywood Studios to meet the characters! Woody and BoPeep are paired together and are very fun to interact with. Jesse is further back but is also super fun and interactive! Buzz Lightyear can also be spotted (typically with a very long line) closer to the entrance of Toy Story Land. You’ll even be able to see Green Army men march in with drums to perform a show! Another fun tip: if you get a picture with the photographer at the Toy Story Land entrance, ask them for “extra magic!”
Mickey and Minnie can also be met in Hollywood Studios. They are located at Red Carpet Dreams. Minnie is dressed in a nice gown with a big pink bow! Mickey is decked out in his sorcerer’s robes. This outfit is most popular from his debut in Fantasa.
Mike Wazowski and Sully can also be found in Hollywood Studios. They are in the Walt Disney Presents building right before entering Toy Story Land.
As I mentioned earlier, Hollywood Studios has a great opportunity for young kids to meet their favorite TV characters. There is a section of the park entirely dedicated to Disney Junior meet and greets. Here you can meet Pluto, Fancy Nancy, Vampirina, and Doc McStuffins. Each character has their own little set up that is decorated to look like a scene from their show. These characters can be fun to meet at any age though, especially Goofy.
Olaf is super fun to meet! He is located right outside the Frozen Sing-A-Long show. His waiting line is all covered which can be a nice break from the beating sun. He is a really goofy character and will try to make you laugh!
If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to either meet Chip and Dale or Donald and Daisy at Sid’s Porch as you enter the park.
Hollywood Studios also has a great spot dedicated to the Cars movies. Here you can see Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy. This is also a fun, inside show to get you out of the sun for about 30 minutes. Outside of this show you can have your picture taken with Cruz Ramirez and DJ from the Cars movies.
The latest meet and greet that has been added to Hollywood Studios is Edna Mode from Incredible’s. She is not a daily character yet, but hopefully soon!
