No More Hugs At Disney World

One of the more fun things to do at Disney World or Disneyland is to have a character meet and greet.  You know, where you get to have breakfast and your favorite Disney characters walk around, take pictures and give hugs!  Not so fast on the hugs part.  Today Disney announced that after putting the tradition on hold last year due to COVID, costumed characters would be back for photo ops but will keep their social distance.

According to a statement from Disney, "Although the environment is not right just yet for hugs and autographs, you'll soon be able to have individualized time with some of your favorite characters, getting to visit with them in a themed location and snap a photo or two."
