Your questions about this meet and greet

01 How do you meet the Disney characters at Disneyland Paris?

There are four main ways to meet a character: in the park with a standard queue, in dedicated areas with a virtual queue in the Disneyland Paris app, during a character meal (character dining) or in some official Disney hotels. If you can’t get a meet and greet, you’ll also see the characters in the parades and shows.

02 How does a virtual queue meet and greet work?

For some very popular meet and greets (Princesses, Marvel heroes at Avengers Campus...), you don’t queue in person. You book a time slot in the Disneyland Paris app in advance, then come back at the time shown. It’s free, but the slots go fast. I’d recommend trying as soon as the park opens.

03 Do you need to book to meet a character?

It depends on the format. For a standard queue: no, just turn up. For a virtual queue: yes, you book a slot in the Disneyland Paris app. For character dining: yes, booking is strongly recommended. For hotel meet and greets: no, they’re usually included for hotel guests.

04 Can you get PhotoPass photos at a meet and greet?

Yes, most standard and virtual queue meet and greets have an official PhotoPass photographer on site. The photos are included if you have an active PhotoPass bundle, or you can buy them individually afterwards. At character meals, photos are usually taken with your own camera or phone.

05 How does a character meal (character dining) work?

You book a restaurant where characters come to your table during the meal. There’s a photo and an autograph each time they stop by. Booking is strongly recommended, sometimes several weeks ahead. Prices and the full list are in my Restaurants FAQ and in my dedicated article.
