Welcome back to the Summer of Disney folks. This week we are talking about one of the best parts of Disney which is the character meet and greets. Who doesn’t love taking photos with the gang and posting them online? Well I’m going to rank the top 8 everyone should meet.
8. Stitch
This guy is fun to meet. Stitch is very busy as he visits guests at Ohana’s in the Polynesian resort for breakfast and then heads over to Tomorrowland. Stitch, when you meet him, likes to misbehave as he smells pens if you're getting his autograph or messing with your hair. Fun for everyone who is a fan of Lillo and Stitch.

7. Goofy
A member of the Fab Five Goofy is a classic any Disney fan must see. Meeting him at the Story Book Circus at the Magic Kingdom he is the Great Goofy who is a motorcyclist. You can’t hate the dog at all as he is funny and kind.

6. Princess Aurora
What’s a list without some Disney Princesses? Aurora is one of my favorites to meet and my top 3 princesses. Meeting is great as she can talk about how Prince Phillip keeps the dragons away or how much she loves her forest friends. I always met her wearing a superhero shirt so I always get a thank you for keeping the kingdom extra safe. Always a lovely time with her.
I have seen you once upon a dream.

5. Kylo Ren
The Commander of the First Order is an intimidating one to meet. He sees you enter and just stares at you. Of course, he speaks first he always does. If he does speak to you he will ask where the droid is, or if you will join the first order and my favorite him trying to see thru your mind. Just avoid calling him Ben or asking about his parents or better yet asking if it’s true that he has an 8 pack and is shredded. For all you Star Wars fans meet him.
There has been an Awakening.

4. Minnie Mouse
Another classic member of the Fab Five is Mickey’s leading lady Minnie. Meeting is always a pleasure. She loves to sign autographs, hug and take pictures with her adoring fans. Minnie is a must see for everyone.

3. Donald Duck
My favorite character Donald. Good times are always there when you see Donald. Always say how much you think he’s the best and you’ll always get a Donald Duck number one autograph and a photo of you and Donald pointing that he is the best. After who doesn’t love Donald?

2. Anna and Elsa
These two ladies have taken Disney by storm and their meet and greet are amazing. Ranging from Anna talking about her love for Chocolate, talking about Kristof and his ice picking to her loving the fact that she and Elsa and hang out together again. Elsa, of course, is always talking about how she has controlled her powers now and we don’t have to worry about a blizzard coming to Florida this summer. (Oh Joy) There’s also taking Selfies with them, which are known as Snowfies to the sisters. These two are great to meet and I recommend you meet the sister at Epcot and have a great time.
Do you wanna take a selfie?

1. Mickey Mouse
Who’s the leader of the club that’s made for you and me? M I C K E Y M O U S E! Can’t do a list without the big cheese himself Mickey! Despite having a lot to do Mickey is always there for his fans. Visiting Mickey never gets old whether it’s your first trip or your 100th trip; Mickey always adds a little magic to your heart.
I hope we never lose sight that it was all started by a mouse.
