Disney Characters
A Disney experience wouldn’t be complete without character appearances! Captain Jack Sparrow has been known to pop up across the island, so have your camera ready to snap a photo with him. Character dance parties are also a favorite. Keep in mind that wait times to meet characters are generally shorter than they are on the ship, so it’s the perfect chance to say hello to Mickey, Minnie and more.
