MEETING the Disney characters is a magical part of visiting the theme parks – but there are often big crowds in the way.

A Disney super-fan has solved the problem and revealed a secret spot where you can see all your favourite characters up close.

Tiktok user Shannon, who goes by @brbgoingtodisney, shared the tip with her 18,000 followers.

She explained that there is a spot in Magic Kingdom next to the train station where characters regularly make an appearance.

If you stand in this spot, you can be up close to them as they enter and exit the station and get some one-on-one attention.

In the video, Shannon entered Magic Kingdom and stopped next to a red popcorn stand.

She said: "As you enter the park, if you see characters leaving the train station, you want to make your way over to the rope next to the Chamber of Commerce building.

"Specifically next to the red popcorn stand that I showed at the beginning of the video.
