Discover the secrets to meeting rare Disney characters during your next trip to Disney World

Disney fans of all ages love meeting their favorite characters at Disney World. But did you know there are ways to meet rare characters too? Here are some tips to help you get up close and personal with some rare Disney friends.

One way to experience more magic and adventure in less time is by attending the Disney After Hours events at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Happening on select nights between January and April, these events offer a discounted ticket price for Annual Pass and Disney Vacation Club members. Plus, you'll get to enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks while experiencing lower wait times for attractions.

During the After Hours event, you'll have the opportunity to meet rare characters that are not typically seen in the parks. This year's line-up includes Mickey and Minnie Mouse in their classic outfits, as well as other fan favorites like Rafiki, Stitch, Pinocchio, and Jiminy Cricket.

To meet these characters, head to Center Stage in front of Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. One line will rotate between Rafiki and Stitch, while the other rotates between Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket. You won't know who you'll meet until you reach the front, but it's worth the surprise!

In addition to these character meet and greets, the After Hours event also offers exciting nighttime entertainment such as Fantasmic! and Disney Movie Magic. And with lower wait times for attractions, you can experience more of what Disney's Hollywood Studios has to offer.

For the full rare character experience, be sure to check out the characters near Echo Lake, where you can meet Duffy, the White Rabbit, and Goofy in a snazzy red outfit. And near the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt show, you'll find Chip 'n Dale as Rescue Rangers or Thumper, along with rotating appearances from Donald and Daisy Duck.

Another not-to-be-missed location for rare character sightings is Grand Avenue. Here you can meet Mary Poppins and Mr. Penguin, and next to the Galaxy's Edge entrance, you'll find Jasmine or Pocahontas and Meeko. Make sure to snap a photo with these unique character duos for a one-of-a-kind Disney experience!
