Who are you going to meet today?

6/4/11 On May 29th, the new Phineas and Ferb Meet and Greet Opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios after several weeks of delay. The new meet & greet features a cartoony backdrop of their backyard and many “movie” props from their zany adventures. Although Perry is not part of the Meet & Greet, Guests can spot Agent P out on a mission if they keep their eyes peeled on the main backdrop. The main interactivity comes between the “director” and Guests when they are queued in-between meet & greet sets. When Phineas and Ferb come out to start a set of meet and greets they do a very brief “show” and then begin the meet and greet set. Initial reports from the meet and greet has been that it is very popular and has even reached 60 minute queue times. Meet & Greet sets will be conducted intermittently from 10:30 am – 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm.
