Character Meets at Typhoon Lagoon

Unfortunately, we rarely see character meet-and-greets at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon these days. However, some characters appear at H20 Glow Nights, a separately ticketed event on Saturday evenings throughout the summer. Below, we look at the former characters who met daily at Typhoon Lagoon.

In the past, a day at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon wouldn’t be complete without seeing a few characters! Usually, at least one character meet-and-greet is available. Those characters are Lilo and Stitch, from Lilo and Stitch. These two fan favorites often greet guests near the entrance of Typhoon Lagoon. Below, we see Stitch standing to the side of Singapore Sal’s gift shop.

Sal’s is the first building you encounter when entering the park. It is to the right after you pass the scenic overlook area. Stitch used to greet guests around the park’s opening time. You may or may not run into him.

If you see Stitch and are interested in the meet and greet, it should only take a few minutes to meet him. Once you store your belongings in a locker and start experiencing the attractions, chances are you won’t revisit this area until the end of the day.

Given the hot temperatures, characters are usually in and out for brief periods over the day.

Additionally, sometimes you might run into Lilo instead of Stitch. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen her recently.

Lilo is a challenging character meet-and-greet to find at Walt Disney World. Typhoon Lagoon is the only place Lilo meets guests without a dining reservation. A Disney Photopass photographer is usually available to take your photo if you have the Memory Maker. If not, you can take pictures with your phone or camera.

As far as autographs go, I wouldn’t bring a pen or character autograph book. We love character signatures but wouldn’t want to get our book wet at the water park. For more information about visiting the water park, browse our entire list of articles.

I hope this article helps you locate the characters at Typhoon Lagoon. Is there one, in particular, you’re hoping to meet? Admittedly, I’m a little partial to Stitch!
