Olaf Character Sighting Returning Soon to Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Another character sighting is returning to the Walt Disney World Resort, and fans of Frozen (2013) will be excited for this one!

Olaf, the loveable snowman created by Elsa herself, will soon be returning to his original meet and greet location at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Beginning January 15, 2022, Guests will once again find Olaf at Celebrity Spotlight in Hollywood Studios.

Like other character locations around Walt Disney World at this time, the Olaf meet and greet is a “character sighting,” implying there will be distance between Guests and Olaf. While Guests are able to meet the characters and pose for photos and selfies, they must remain behind the roped off area of the room. Additionally, autographs are not available while character sightings remain physically distanced.

While visiting characters at Celebrity Spotlight and other indoor character sighting locations at Walt Disney World, Guests are also required to keep their masks and face coverings on. As these locations fall under Disney World’s indoor mask requirement, Guests must also keep their masks on while taking photos with the characters.

Celebrity Spotlight is tucked into the section of Disney’s Hollywood Studios adjacent to the Mickey Mouse Shorts theater, and across from the entrance to Star Tours and the Backlot Express quick service restaurant. Once the Olaf character sighting locations reopens on January 15, Guests will be able to visit him daily between 10 AM and 5 PM.
