Disney added several new meet and greets to the lineup for Disney Jollywood Nights 2024. They announced several meet and greets but promised even more, indicating there would be over 20, and we caught some surprise characters during the first night. Most character meet and greets are listed on the Disney Jollywood Nights map.
Disney Jollywood Nights Character Meet and Greets
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
*NEW* The Mandalorian & Grogu
While guests can catch The Mandalorian and Grogu roaming during the day at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, he actually stops for a queued meet and greet during Disney Jollywood Nights. You can find him in the Batuu market.
Echo Lake
Phineas & Ferb
Phineas and Ferb are in their same location as last year, in front of their custom cartoon tree next to the lake. Both wear scarves and Santa hats.
Max Goof as Powerline
Max, dressed in his Powerline outfit, is also next to the lake. He’s with a silver Christmas tree topped with a Powerline star.
Rescue Rangers Chip ‘n’ Dale
Chip and Dale are in their Rescue Rangers looks with a Rescue Rangers tree by the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost.
*NEW* King Louie or Baloo
New this year are Baloo and King Louie as they appeared in “TaleSpin.” They alternate with each other at a backdrop near Backlot Express. Their Christmas tree is made of green crates with a windsock on top. King Louie wears a straw hat, Hawaiian shirt, and lei. Baloo is in his pilot’s uniform of a tan jacket and red cap.
Santa Stitch
Santa Stitch is meeting at Celebrity Spotlight, the home of the Olaf meet and greet during the day.
Pinocchio or Jiminy Cricket
Pinocchio alternates with Jiminy Cricket at a spot across from Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, next to Echo Lake.
Pixar Plaza
*NEW* Pixar Disco
Various characters appear at the Pixar Disco, including Frozone and Edna Mode, who are both returning but previously had traditional meet and greets. New characters this year include Joy, Sadness, and Mike Wazowski.
Donald & Daisy
Donald and Daisy meet in front of a chest overflowing with oversized ornaments. They wear their same polka-dot Jollywood Nights outfits introduced last year. The meet and greet is in a new location near the Pixar Plaza entrance.
Goofy & Pluto
Goofy and Pluto are near Donald and Daisy, meeting in similar retro holiday garb. The chest behind them is full of giant lollipops and candy canes.
Though the Jollywood website stated guests could meet Donald, Daisy, Goofy, OR Pluto, they meet in separate pairs and don’t alternate.
Toy Story Land
*NEW* Bo Peep or Lotso
Bo Peep and Lotso alternate with each other by the Toy Story Land sign closest to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Bo Peep wears her skirt-turned-cape, striped scarf, and holly on her bow.
Lotso keeps warm with a striped scarf of his own.
*NEW* Green Army Man
We spotted a Green Army Man roaming near the other Toy Story Land entrance. He was also wearing a festive scarf.
Animation Courtyard
José and Panchito of the Three Caballeros alternate appearances at a meet-and-greet space in Animation Courtyard. Despite some confusing marketing, they do not participate in the adjacent Holiday Fiesta en la Calle.
*NEW* José Carioca or Panchito
The characters are in front of a vibrant red tree with a floral star topper. Behind the tree are tapestries with Latin-inspired holiday designs.
José and Panchito are in their classic outfits. Cast Members at the end of the queue will hold up signs stating what character is greeting.
Grand Avenue
Santa Duffy
Santa Duffy is meeting in Santa’s Workshop at It’s A Wonderful Store, the former year-round Christmas shop. Duffy the Disney Bear wears a cozy-looking red tunic with white trim, and a matching hat with holly attached.
*NEW* Dr. Strange
The biggest surprise of the evening was the sudden appearance of Dr. Strange. The sorcerer is roaming Grand Avenue without an official line.
*NEW* Scrooge McDuck or Clarice
At the end of Grand Avenue, near the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge entrance, Scrooge alternates with Clarice the chipmunk.
Clarice is the love interest of Chip ‘n’ Dale who makes rare appearances stateside but has been popular abroad.
Mary Poppins or Bert & Penguin
Mary Poppins characters meet at the start of Grand Avenue, near Tatooine Traders. Mary alternates with Bert and a penguin.
Commissary Lane
Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse
Mickey and Minnie are at their usual Red Carpet Dreams meet and greet but they’ve swapped their Hollywood looks for Jollywood looks. They meet in Minnie’s usual space with extra present set pieces.
