Planning a trip to Disney World? Looking forward to meeting your family’s favorite characters while you are there? Make sure you don’t miss any by using this list to find every character at Magic Kingdom during your trip!
The Magic Kingdom is, hands down, the park with the most things to do in it. It is also the park with the most character meet and greets. So, it’s a great place to find some of your favorites.
But, remember that the character meet and greets here can sometimes have really long lines! So be prepared to jump in lines early! You can find the exact times of each meet and greet on any given day on the My Disney Experience app.
The Classic Characters
You can’t talk about how to find every character at Magic Kingdom without talking about the classic characters. I’m talking about Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto. These are the characters that most people think about when they think of the Magic Kingdom.
Mickey Mouse
Of course, we have to start with the Big Cheese himself. You can find Mickey Mouse at Town Square Theater, which is located on Main Street USA just inside the gates of the Magic Kingdom.
He is usually there most of the day.
Minnie Mouse

The Country Bears
Unless you have been to Disney World before, you probably haven’t heard about the Country Bears. They are a group of singing bears that star in the Magic Kingdom show Country Bear Jamboree. When they are not performing, they are out for photos in Frontierland.
Characters at Magic Kingdom Character Meals
There are three character meals located in the Magic Kingdom. Below are the characters that you can meet while eating at one of these restaurants.
For a look at all the character meals throughout Disney World, see my character meals at a glance.
Cinderella’s Royal Table
Cinderella’s Royal Table is located in Cinderella Castle. This is one of the most popular character meals in all of Disney World.
During your meal here, you can meet some combination of Cinderella, Ariel (in her human form), Snow White, Aurora, Mulan, and Belle. The princesses that meet here vary. You never know which ones you will get to see.
Occasionally, the Fairy Godmother also meets guests here as well.
Crystal Palace
You will find Crystal Palace at the end of Main Street, USA, pretty close to Cinderella Castle. If you are walking from the entrance to the castle, it is on your left.
When you dine here, you can meet Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore. This is currently the only place in Disney World, outside of special holiday parties, where you can meet Piglet and Eeyore.
Be Our Guest
Be Our Guest, located in Fantasyland in the Beast’s Castle, is not your typical character meal. There are no characters that walk around from table to table here. But, after your meal, you can meet the Beast in his library.
