What are your favorite less crowded character meets?

[Gentry2004]

Ones that a 6 and 9 year old would enjoy. Looking for some of the lesser known ones that hopefully have less than a 15-20 minute wait without FP+ or rope drop.

I'll start. My kids really enjoy the King Louie/Baloo one at AK.

Where is that one? I've never seen it but I'd like to.

I like the Safari Donald at AK.

Although you probably wouldn't want to go there, my son's favorite is the Garden Grove at the Swan. We stay at the Swan/Dolphin a lot and get free breakfast and it's usually VERY uncrowded so the characters can basically hang out with you as long as you want. My son loves Pluto and practically had breakfast with him one visit, he stayed at our table so long. Downside is that my son goofs around with Pluto and doesn't really eat, and I don't really eat either because for some reason it makes me uncomfortable eating with an oversized dog watching me.

If you have a Disney Visa, their meet and greets are great. We met Pluto and Minnie in Epcot and Kylo Ren in DHS. Almost no one goes to these, so you can take your time and have a great interaction. Kylo Ren is especially hilarious.

Otherwise, we also liked the Safari Donald at AK (it's tucked away near the Dinosaur ride) and Baymax at Epcot.

I liked meeting Flik at AK. We waited about 10 minutes. My favorite was Winnie the Pooh, but that was much longer than 20 minutes because it was hot out and they kept having to switch shifts.

While my kids loved Rafiki at AK (I was surprised at how few people took the train to conservation station), our favorite M&G have been the unexpected ones. Like seeing Daisy walk through a gate where we happened to be standing and give my daughter a hug.

Marry Poppins in Epcot was fun. It was our first talking character. Loved when she said "Practically perfect."
