Other characters, such as Sponge Bob, Dora & Diego, and the heroes from Secret Life of Pets, also come out with their floats and perform in the intersection of Hollywood and Sunset Blvd., near the Horror Make-Up Show and Mel’s Drive-In. Gru and the girls, also are available for photos when their float participates in the Superstar Character Party Zone.

Harry Potter fans can meet with members of the Frog Choir and the Hogwarts Express train conductor at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter-Hogsmeade. Over at Universal Studios, Potter fans should visit the conductor of the Knight Bus Drive. Not on the park map and often not mentioned on Universal’s website are the Penguins of Madagascar, who we have encountered several times behind Cafe La’ Bamba.

Characters take their time interacting with their fans, but the lines, with a few exceptions, are rarely longer than 20 minutes. Also be on the lookout for surprise meet-and-greets not listed on the map. When you enter the park, arm yourselves with a map and check out the times of specific character meetings. Some meet-and-greets are scheduled and more structured, while others are impromptu, such as when characters interact with visitors as they walk down Hollywood Boulevard. Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure offer plenty of opportunities to meet characters.
