A Smile to Brighten Your Day Come say “hello” to Minnie Mouse or Goofy. They're excited to meet new friends and pose for fantastic photos. Find them near the Main Entrance to EPCOT at select times throughout the day.

In 2026, meeting Minnie Mouse at EPCOT is a primary highlight for guests, and she typically has a permanent "Character Greeting" location. Traditionally, Minnie can be found at the Disney Friendship Forest or near the entrance of the World Showcase (often at the gazebo in the Friendship Ambassador area). During the 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, she may also appear in special seasonal attire. To find her exact location and daily schedule, guests should use the My Disney Experience app, which provides real-time "Wait Times" and appearance windows. Additionally, Minnie frequently appears during character dining at Garden Grill Restaurant in the Land Pavilion, where she joins Mickey, Pluto, and Chip 'n' Dale. Meeting her at EPCOT is often preferred by 2026 visitors because the lines are generally more manageable than those at Magic Kingdom's Town Square Theater.
