A brand-new Disney character is headed to the parks. Billie, the lead character in Disney’s Hexed, will start meeting guests at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on November 25, 2026, in The Walt Disney Studios courtyard. She’ll also appear at Disneyland beginning November 20.
The timing is perfect. “Disney’s Hexed,” the new animated film from Walt Disney Animation Studios, opens in theaters on November 25, the same day the Hexed meet and greet begins at Hollywood Studios. That means you can see the movie over Thanksgiving week and then meet its star in person.
Here’s who Billie is, where and when to meet her, and tips for getting a photo.

Who Is Billie?
Billie is the lead character in “Disney’s Hexed,” the new coming-of-age film from Walt Disney Animation Studios.
She’s an impulsive, unconventional teenager, voiced by Hailee Steinfeld. In the film, Billie discovers she has magic, and her powers pull her out of her suburban life and into a world of witches. She teams up with her cautious mother, Alice, voiced by Rashida Jones. Together, they work through family mysteries that could change the future of witches for good.
The witch world in the film is called Hexe, and Disney describes it as a vast hidden world of witches, far from Billie’s ordinary suburban routine and everyday life at home. It’s a mother-daughter story at heart, which makes it a great pick for families heading to theaters over the holiday weekend.
The film is directed by Fawn Veerasunthorn and Jason Hand, with Josie Trinidad as co-director.
Where to Meet Billie
Here’s where Billie will appear:
- Disneyland: Appearances begin November 20, 2026
- Disney’s Hollywood Studios: Appearances begin November 25, 2026, in The Walt Disney Studios courtyard
Disney hasn’t released appearance times yet. Check the My Disney Experience app (Walt Disney World) or the Disneyland app on the day of your visit for the latest schedule.
Why This Meet and Greet Is a Big Deal
Billie is arriving at Hollywood Studios on the same day her movie hits theaters, and at Disneyland five days before.
That gives fans a rare chance to meet a character while the movie is brand new. It also means plenty of guests will want a photo, especially during the busy Thanksgiving week.
Tips for Meeting Billie at Hollywood Studios
- Go early in the day. New character meet-and-greets often draw long lines in the first few weeks.
- Check the app first. Appearance times haven’t been announced, and schedules can change daily.
- Plan around Thanksgiving crowds. Billie’s Hollywood Studios debut falls during one of the busiest weeks of the year, so expect bigger crowds than usual.
- See the movie first. If you can catch “Disney’s Hexed” in theaters before your visit, kids will have a lot more to talk about when they meet Billie.
- Bring an autograph book. It makes a great keepsake for a brand-new character.
- Look for PhotoPass. Character meet-and-greets often have a PhotoPass photographer nearby, so ask for a professional photo with Billie.
Meeting Billie at Disneyland
If you’re visiting Disneyland Resort instead, Billie arrives there first, on November 20. Disney hasn’t announced which park or location she’ll appear at, so check the Disneyland app for her spot and times. The same tips apply: go early, expect lines in the first few weeks, and keep an eye on the app for schedule changes.
Planning a Visit to Hollywood Studios This Holiday Season
If you’re heading to Hollywood Studios in late November, there’s a lot more to see. The park is in full holiday mode, and Disney Jollywood Nights runs on select evenings.
Here are a few of our recent guides to help you plan:
- Meet Santa Claus at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, with dates and hours through December 24
- Jollywood Nights check-in at two in-park locations
- Jollywood Nights 2026 adds a new lounge and first-ever character meets
Pairing a Billie meet-and-greet with Santa and the holiday decorations could make for a very full, very festive day.
The Bottom Line
The new Hexed meet and greet brings Billie from Disney’s Hexed to Disneyland starting November 20 and to Disney’s Hollywood Studios starting November 25 in The Walt Disney Studios courtyard. Her Hollywood Studios debut lines up with the film’s November 25 theatrical release.
Appearance times haven’t been released yet, so check the app on the day of your visit. And with Thanksgiving crowds and a brand-new character, plan to get in line early.
