Overview
- Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket, Mary Poppins, and Bert are now meeting guests on a published rotation near the Chinese Theater at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
- Appearance times are listed in the My Disney Experience app, with Mary Poppins and Pinocchio alternating with Bert and Jiminy Cricket throughout the day.
- Some meet-and-greets feature surprise additions like a Mary Poppins penguin, and PhotoPass coverage is inconsistent with cast members often using guest phones.
- The meet-and-greets are outdoors and subject to weather, and outlets report Disney has not said how long the rare lineup will continue.
- Following the Animation Courtyard shutdown, Star Wars encounters have shifted, with Darth Vader meeting in the Star Tours overflow queue and Chewbacca continuing in Galaxy’s Edge.
