A fan-favorite meet-and-greet has FINALLY returned to Magic Kingdom, so come along with us to check it out!

Tomorrowland

Lately, guests at Disney World have been very excited about the new meet-and-greet over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Moana has made her debut in that park, and the line to meet her can be HOURS long.
