We’re seeing more and more character greetings return to Walt Disney World theme parks and we’re very excited about it. Last weekend, Olaf returned to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. At EPCOT, two new characters are back and one has moved to their original greeting location.

Vanellope and Joy at ImageWorks in the Imagination! Pavilion
Since EPCOT reopened in July 2020, Joy from “Inside Out” has been enjoying the gardens next to the Imagination! Pavilion while greeting guests. She has now moved back to her original location inside ImageWorks. Vanellope has also returned to ImageWorks.
Do note greetings are still modified (distanced greetings with no direct contact between characters and guests) and hugs and autographs are not available at this time.
