Disney Quietly Brings Back RARE Character Meet-and-Greet at EPCOT

Wait 5 sec.

When you’re an Annual Passholder at Disney World, there are plenty of perks that come with the territory—discounts, exclusive merch, early previews, and the bragging rights of being able to visit the parks whenever you want. But sometimes, Disney sweetens the deal even more.Credit: Greg Goebel, FlickrRight now, EPCOT is the place to be for Passholders, especially during this special summer window. While V.I.Passholder Days are already giving guests a few extra reasons to swing by (like deeper discounts and access to the EPCOT lounge), there’s something new causing a bit of a stir—and it’s tucked away in the Germany Pavilion.So, what’s the buzz all about?Well, it’s not just about bratwursts and pretzels this time. If you stroll over to Der Teddybar in the Germany Pavilion between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., you’ll find a surprise meet-and-greet that’s exclusively for Annual Passholders. And it’s not just any character… it’s Dopey!That’s right—Dopey from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is making a rare solo appearance. If you’ve ever tried to catch all seven dwarfs together, you probably know that it usually only happens during limited-time events like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. But a one-on-one moment with Dopey? That’s a true rarity in Disney World.Credit: DisneyAnd the best part? There’s a PhotoPass photographer on site to help you capture the moment—no selfie arm juggling required.Just a heads up: to access the meet-and-greet, you’ll need to show your Annual Pass at the entrance, and as usual, a park reservation is required unless it’s after 2 p.m. or it’s one of Disney’s designated Good-to-Go Days. The experience is only sticking around through July 31, so you might want to plan that EPCOT day sooner rather than later.Disney keeps adding new layers to the Annual Passholder experience, and honestly, it’s been a blast watching what’s next. From special lounges to character exclusives like this, it’s starting to feel like being a Passholder is less about the admission—and more about the surprises waiting on the other side of the gate.The post Disney Quietly Brings Back RARE Character Meet-and-Greet at EPCOT appeared first on Inside the Magic.
