Mickey Mouse will soon be able to hug again.
costumed characters at U.S. Disney parks have kept away from visitors because of the Pandemic. They haven't been able to interact with fans.
In a few weeks, character greetings will be reintroduced at the parks. The company said in a post last week that personal interaction between visitors and costumed characters will be allowed again at Disneyland in California, Walt Disney World in Florida and on Disney cruises.
The parks were temporarily closed due to the coronaviruses. costumed characters could only be seen in parades or in the parks after the parks reopened. The costumed characters were allowed to return to locations around the parks for individualized meet-ups with visitors, but they were only allowed to greet visitors and have their photos taken from a distance.
You will be able to hug Mickey Mouse, get an autograph from Mulan, and share a laugh with Goofy very soon.
Not all of the traditional locations for character greetings will be open immediately. They will be reopened in phases.
