Disney World Character Palooza at Hollywood Studios is a time when some of the less seen characters come out for an unannounced meet and greet.

While it has been widely speculated that this meet & greet only happens inside the gates of the park, we actually experienced before we entered.

On a day when we decided to park hop (to grab a meal over at Hollywood & Vine) we noticed a ton of activity over on the far right side of the entrance gates to Hollywood Studios.

Imagine our excitement to see that it was the tail end of the Disney World Character Palooza that we had heard about.

Tips for Disney World Character Palooza at Hollywood Studios

If you are lucky enough to stumble upon this wonderful character experience count yourself VERY lucky and be prepared that you will not get to meet EVERY character.

Disney World Character Palooza tips:

Get in a line immediately. This event only lasts about 20 minutes so there is no time to waste.
Send one person from your party who doesn’t care to be in the photo in a second line to hold the spot
Have your camera and autograph book ready to go. There is no photographer.
These are typically characters with A LOT of personality! They will want you to play along so it is a great opportunity to be silly in photos.
