Lotso (AKA Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear) is a stuffed magenta bear introduced in Disney Pixar’s animated film Toy Story 3. He is the antagonist of the film. It would be an exceptionally rare find if you were to run into Lotso at Walt Disney World. In all our years visiting the parks, we’ve only seen him once at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party in 2019. When combing through photos for our Toy Story collection, I was elated to find his image. Please forgive that these photos aren’t of the best quality. They are from our first year of blogging. Consequentially, it was the last and only time we saw Lotso.

Movies to Watch Before Your Disney World Vacation:

• Toy Story (1995)
• Toy Story 2 (1999)
• Toy Story 3 (2010)
• Toy Story 4 (2019)
• Lightyear (2022)
• Numerous Cartoon Shorts

Does Lotso have a regular meet-and-greet at Walt Disney World? No, while not impossible, you would luck up on a rare find if you ran into him in the theme parks.
