3. More characters out and about in the theme parks

Because in-person meet and greets have been cancelled due to social distancing requirements for the foreseeable future, Walt Disney World has been forced to get a little creative with how it creates magical character moments for guests. Instead of waiting an hour or more to see characters inside an indoor meet and greet, Characters will now be seen around the parks, greeting guests from rooftops, floats, stages, and other areas where they can remain socially distant. 

And while we have no doubt that in person meet and greets will resume at some point to Walt Disney World theme parks, having characters around the theme parks definitely adds some magic to the environment, and would be a great change to keep in the future! 

Though we know that at some point, social distancing inside the theme parks will end and we will be able to see fireworks, parades, and more again, not all of the changes made at Walt Disney World have been bad. Which of these changes would you like to see stick around?
