Live Entertainment can be found all day during Flower and Garden festival. Lets talk Characters first. Due to Covid restrictions, Characters still aren't meeting in close quarters. So mini parades with various characters can be found at random times (so people don't gather to wait) around the World's showcase. For sure you will see Mickey and the gang as well as some of the Disney Princesses.
