4. More Star Wars characters from Disney+ shows could be coming to Galaxy's Edge in the near future

The Mandalorian fans went wild when Din Djarin appeared at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge last month for a limited time promoting the third season of the Disney+ series, and now it looks like more characters from the expanded Star Wars universe on Disney+ could be on their way. At the Disney Parks panel during the recent Star Wars Celebration, Imagineer Scott Trowbridge teased new characters coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. No specifics were given, but these could include characters from upcoming series like Ahsoka or The Skeleton Crew, which make their series debut this year, or Andor, which is debuting its second season in 2024. Fans have even speculated that Bo-Katan from Star Wars Rebels, who has figured heavily in The Mandalorian Season 3, could also make an appearance at some point. 

5. Garden Grill family style character breakfast returns to EPCOT in June

In a new character dining update, it has been confirmed that family-style breakfasts dining will once again be available at Garden Grill at EPCOT beginning on June 14. Characters that typically appear at this location include Mickey, Pluto, Chip, and Dale. However, the lineup is subject to change and guests may see different characters during breakfast compared to lunch or dinner.

According to Disney's official website, the price for this dining experience will be $42 per adult, and $27 per child aged 3-9. Menu items available for the family-style "harvest feast" include Mickey Waffles, scrambled eggs, potato casserole, cinnamon breakfast loaf, and grilled flank steak with ranchero sauce. Reservations are available now on the restaurant's website for this returning experience.

6. Figment meet and greet confirmed to be coming to the Imagination pavilion sometime this summer

It has been confirmed that Figment, EPCOT's beloved purple dragon, will be making an appearance at the Imagination! Pavilion later this summer. This meet and greet was first announced by Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products Chairman Josh D'Amaro at last year's D23 Expo. Figment has been a fan-favorite since the original Journey into Imagination attraction opened at EPCOT in 1983, and his presence has become synonymous with the pavilion, so it is definitely exciting to hear that this character will be able to meet guests face to face in this area. A firm date for this brand new character experience should be announced in the coming weeks.
