Character Meet & Greet

[Eriksmith412]

Good day everyone! I keep seeing posts of families taking photos with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, Chip & Dale. Is that a regular meet and greet or do you have to sign up for that somewhere? Thanks

There are multiple M&G onboard every day. They are listed in the Navigator app, where you can also see the other times during the cruise where a specific character will be out.

All you need to do is show up at the designated spot during the 15 minutes window mentioned - or, if you want it to go faster, a few minutes before - and get in line. They will allow anyone who’s in line to meet the character.

The only M&G that require tickets are Anna & Elsa, the princesses when they all meet together in the atrium and the characters during the themed day on Star Wars and Marvel cruises.

All the character meets will be listed in the Navigator. You can pick up a paper copy each day at Guest Services. There is also an app. Be sure to download the app before you leave home. It won’t start working until you board.
Here is a link that post past Navigators. Things may change a bit each cruise but this will give you a idea

Thank you! I know about those meet and greets, but on certain sailings they have one specific meet and greet where the characters meet all at once so that’s what I was referencing.

We line up early for the meet and greets because the lines can get quite long............especially for mickey and minnie

I remember reading it's only for the longer cruises (like PC and TA) and they're listed as Micky and Friends. I don't think I've ever seen one that included Chip and Dale, though, just the Fab 5 (or fewer), it's possible though. I think the longer cruises also have different combinations of characters, too (like Mickey and Minnie or Goofy and Pluto for example).

I've also heard of people getting randomly pixie dusted and being brought to a room with all the characters for a photo op. If the picture looks like it's in a room/on a stage, and not in the atrium then that could be what it is.
