    I’m looking forward to seeing Doc McStuffins at Disney at Disney World; at the Disney World Website; I checked the times at the “Meet the Disney Jr Pals at the Animation Courtyard” but as of right now starting May 11, it says “No Times Available”. Why?

    Welcome back to planDisney, Braden! Thanks for stopping back to ask this question. Character experiences has been a staple inside the parks for years, and love to check in with Mickey Mouse at least once a year. Disney’s Animation Courtyard is home to a meet and greet with Disney Jr. Pals. I checked the Disney website along with Disney Parks Blog to see if there were any announcements or closures scheduled. I was not able to locate any official word on the schedule for this time period and why no times are showing. I would recommend checking the website for hours again as your visit gets closer. You can also keep an eye out for news on the Disney Parks Blog for information regarding this meet and greet. 

    If you will be visiting in the month of May there are some other park recommendations I’d like to make. EPCOT is hosting the 30th International Flower and Garden Festival and this year has so many things to enjoy. The Butterly Garden is always beautiful and educational. This display shows the lifecycle of a butterfly and has live butterflies flying about. You can also see them in different stages of emerging from their cocoons. I was just there two days ago and it was super cool seeing them trying to wiggle their way out. The Outdoor Kitchens that are spread throughout the park have a very large selection snacks, bites, and sips. There are too many to try, I failed miserably on my last visit. But every year I have to make decisions on which selections make the cut. If you have little ones be sure to check out the Camp Get Out ‘N’ Play Garden. This gives them a chance to get their wiggles out and adults might get a chance to relax for a couple of minutes. 

    I hope this information is helpful for you to keep track of those Disney Jr pals. Visit us again anytime at planDisney.com for tips and planning advice. 


    Have a magical day,
