The Mandalorian and Grogu (AKA Baby Yoda) first arrived at Disneyland Paris back in March 2023. What was initially billed as a limited-time, two-week engagement became a permanent meet-and-greet in January when the pair were given a new photo location in Discoveryland (the park’s equivalent of Tomorrowland).

Two other Disney theme parks currently offer similar meet-and-greets: Disneyland Park at Disneyland Resort, and Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort. The character – who is free-roaming and doesn’t have a fixed meeting point or schedule – has proven extremely popular with guests, generating hectic crowds throughout Galaxy’s Edge.
Prior to his sudden disappearance from Disneyland Paris, the Mandalorian was available to meet guests on a daily basis at 10.30 a.m., 11 a.m., 11.30 a.m., 2.30 p.m., 3 p.m. and 3.30 p.m. Grogu was less regular, appearing with Mando at random times. The meet-and-greeet regularly attracted long lines.
Before the experience’s removal, the description given on the character’s meet-and-greet listing warned that it could be removed without warning.

This Meet ‘n’ Greet experience may be changed, delayed or removed without prior notice.
Inside the Magic reached out to Disneyland Paris for confirmation of when or if the Mandalorian meet-and-greet will return, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
