  • When is WDW Photo Pass Day in 2018?

  • My daughter is obsessed with Moana and it would be great if she could be available for a photo op at some point. We are annual passholders who frequent all 4 parks and she is always asking to see Moana!

  • May I ask what time will Rafiki & Timon, Snow White & Dopey, and Flik & Princess Atta be out? If it is not too much to ask.

    • Hi Andres! At locations where a pal is joining a regularly appearing Character, the joint Character Experience will be held at the daily Character’s regular location during the hours listed on this webpage: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/entertainment/#/character-experiences/. Just be sure to enter Aug. 19 as the date for your search.

  • Thank you to Emily for providing information on the signature cards! This should be a fun event for sure!

  • Will you release anymore info on times of when they will start and end? We would love to get everything we just need time so we can schedule our day!

  • Anything at Disneyland?

  • This all sounds amazing! I would love it if we could have something like this at Disneyland in California as well. The Tangled lights are so cute!

  • Gotta say I’m not too impressed I was expecting some hard to find characters like Boba Fett or Ratcliff or Bowler Hat Guy.

  • I wish this would be extended to Disneyland. Just some feedback.

  • Will the characters sign autographs or will they hand out autograph cards, or? Thanks!

    • At all of the Disney PhotoPass Day Character Experience locations, you’ll receive a special card containing Character signatures.

  • Will there be any special photo ops at Disneyland?

  • Please, if I have any input, I don’t want to wait 3 hours for a character that doesn’t sign.

  • Any word if any of these characters will sign autographs or not?
