Disney Dining Serving up the latest Disney Eats, Treats, News, and More!
When the Walt Disney World Resort reopened after a months-long COVID closure, there were a lot of things that were very different. For one thing, theme park attendance numbers were very limited, most restaurants were closed, and up close and personal character interactions were a very big no-no. In order to bring more characters to the parks without risking interactions, Disney created more character cavalcades, and Guests loved it.

If you are not familiar with the term, character cavalcades are small shows where characters travel down the main street of the Park and wave to Guests. The cavalcades are much smaller than traditional parades, but they can bring in some truly great characters. Disney had a few cavalcades — mainly at Hollywood Studios — before the pandemic, but those were increased after the reopening. During these shows, Guests can see some of their favorite characters like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto, but they can also see newer characters like Anna and Elsa.

This is not the first time that Mirabel will be seen in a Disney Park. For months, Guests were able to visit Disney California Adventure Park at Disneyland Resort and see Mirabel in Paradise Gardens Park. She then moved over to Disneyland Park and can currently be found in Tomorrowland. At this time, Disney has not shared if and when a Mirabel meet and greet will come to Walt Disney World.
