Rain or shine sometimes you just need to be indoors riding attractions, watching a show or meeting a character at the Happiest Place on Earth.  Maybe you’re at the parks on a rainy day or a really hot and you need shade or air conditioning!  Well I’ve got you covered.  Disneyland has a variety of shows to watch indoors, attractions to go on indoors, characters to meet indoors and places to eat indoors.  I love lists and I’ve compiled some for you in this post. 

I’ll break it down first with attractions and shows. I will group these by LAND at both parks. I’m only including attractions that are both longer and indoors as well as shows that are indoors or with shade.

Character meet and greets indoors at Disneyland

✨ Royal Hall (west of the castle) – Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Ariel and possibly other princesses are located here. The princesses rotate so you never know who could be there.

✨ Toon Town – you can meet Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse inside their houses in Toon Town.  They are always available to meet.  Just make note that Toon Town opens an hour after the park opens.  And it closes early as well before fireworks.

UPDATE:  Toon Town is under refurbishment until 2023!

Meet Mickey Mouse inside his house in Toon Town.

Character meet and greets indoors at Disney California Adventure

✨ Animation Building on Hollywood Blvd –  inside you can meet Anna and Elsa.

Disney app tip – you can find the location and times of all characters in both parks on the app under characters. The ones listed above are just indoors. But there are so many more you can meet!

About Shantelle

Hello and welcome to my page where I share tips, information, strategies, news, events and more mainly about the Disneyland Resort. Growing up my grandparents owned a travel agency. I watched my grandmother plan and lead tours all over the world. Between her and my mother, I learned the importance of planning before you go on a trip to make the most out of your time. While my main focus is Disneyland you’ll find info about other Disney parks and Disney cruises too!
If you’re overwhelmed or need help planning your trip I offer customized touring plans.
