Though the limited time "Hakuna Matata Time Dance Party" ended several weeks ago at Disney's Animal Kingdom, guests can still meet two characters from The Lion King, as Timon and Rafiki are now meeting guests daily in the Character Landing area of the park (which formerly housed a Pocahontas meet and greet).

Because of Epcot's central spine redesign, many of the character meet and greets in this park have had to move to new locations. However, soon guests  will be able to meet Mickey Mouse in a new permanent meet and greet area in the Imagination Pavilion as part of the Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival. Mickey Mouse will be moving in to a new area of the indoor queue space for this attraction and have a special film strip background that will showcase this beloved characters' history.
