Original Article: According to WDWNT, Walt Disney World is reportedly preparing to bring back character meet and greets without social distancing as soon as the middle of April.
WDWNT sources suggest that guests will be able to hug their favourite Disney characters sometime after the Easter weekend (17th April). An announcement has not been made at this time.
“For now, Walt Disney World has “character sightings,” with the characters appearing at least six feet away from guests. Many indoor character sightings have returned with this distancing, though some characters still only greet guests outside.”
