Meet Asha from Disney’s ‘Wish’ at Epcot
Asha, from Disney’s animated film Wish, has a character meet-and-greet at Epcot. Her meet-and-greet debuted ahead of the film’s release and has remained long after. In the past, we’ve seen new character meet-and-greets debut ahead of their movies, only to become challenging to find later. For example, Moana met at Disney’s Hollywood Studios when the film was released. But not long after, she became a hard-to-find character at Walt Disney World.
It wasn’t until this last year that Moana had a traditional meet debut at Animal Kingdom and then Epcot. So, our best guess for Asha is that time will tell. So far, a year later, she’s still meeting guests at Epcot.
Asha meets at Epcot daily. Her times were listed as “intermittently between 9:30 a.m. and 4:15 p.m.” You’ll want to check the exact times in the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit.
How to Locate Characters in the My Disney Experience App
- Open the My Disney Experience app and select the pin drop at the bottom of the home screen.
- Scroll (left to right) through the icons at the top of the screen and select “Characters.”
- After selecting characters, use the locations drop down to select the park of your choice.
- Then, on the bottom right of the screen, select “Show List.”
- Scroll through the list of characters with their times and locations.
- As an alternative, you can use the map view to locate characters.
*As the day passes, you might notice that characters disappear from the app. When their last scheduled time passes, the meet-and-greet automatically disappears. A new schedule won’t be loaded until the following day. It is essential to check the app for meet-and-greets on the day of your visit.
You’ll find Asha in the gazebo directly across from Disney Traders along the World Showcase Promenade. This is where Pluto formerly met and, at one time, Duffy, many years ago.
Given that this was the first day and the film hadn’t been released, I was shocked at the number of guests in line to meet her. While I was standing there wondering what on earth we would talk about, other guests were already Disney-bound in her likeness!
Asha is from the Kingdom of Rosas. From my understanding, she is not considered part of a royal family. However, the purple banners and lights hanging in front of the queue felt regal.
She was a wonderful character to meet and had a lot to chat about while I was taking photos. Her purple costume was gorgeous. It’s hard to tell from the photos, but she has the cutest splash of freckles on her cheeks and nose.
Here are a few more photos.
Asha is an autograph-signing character.
She signed her name with a star at the end. On the day of our visit, a PhotoPass photographer was available at this location.
