Billie Doe from Disney’s Hexed has already made it to Walt Disney World. The star of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ next film turned up at Magic Kingdom on Tuesday during the taping of the Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade, two weeks before the movie opens and before her regular meet-and-greets begin.

In the photo, Billie rides a garland-covered float decorated with ornaments, wearing her purple cape over a black outfit with a red tie. Marie from The Aristocats is on the float right beside her. Laughing Place, which posted the picture, called it her Walt Disney World debut.
Where To Meet Her
The parade spot is a preview. Disney Parks announced on Tuesday that Billie will start making appearances at Disneyland beginning November 20, and at Walt Disney World at Disney’s Hollywood Studios beginning November 25. Disney has not shared appearance times or exact meet locations yet.
There’s a new witch in town ✨ Billie Doe from Disney’s #Hexed will be making appearances @Disneyland beginning November 20 and @WaltDisneyWorld at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on November 25 🗓️

Disney’s short announcement video gives the best look yet at how she will appear in the parks, with her burgundy hair and bangs, a cape over a black top with a red tie, and teal tights.
Wednesday, November 25, is also the day Hexed opens in theaters, so Hollywood Studios guests will be able to meet her on opening day. Disneyland guests get the first chance, starting Friday, November 20, five days before the film arrives. Check each resort’s app for her times once Disney posts them, since none have been announced yet.
About Hexed
Hexed follows an awkward teenager and her Type-A mother, who discover that the girl’s strange quirks may actually be magical powers, opening the door to a hidden magical world. Hailee Steinfeld leads the voice cast with Rashida Jones, Tracey Ullman and Stephen Fry, and Jodie Foster voices the villain, Queen Celeste. Fawn Veerasunthorn and Jason Hand direct.
The film is the studio’s first original since Wish, and it is tracking for Disney Animation’s best original opening since Moana, with early projections of $40 million to $50 million over the five-day Thanksgiving holiday. It plays with a new short, Lilo & Scratch, in front of it.
Seeing The Parade
The Christmas Day Parade airs on ABC on Christmas morning, Friday, December 25, at 10 a.m. Eastern. Disney has not said whether Billie’s float appearance will make the final broadcast.
She was not the only new face at the taping. Disney also used the parade to debut Monsters, Inc. and Encanto units built for the special, and Disney Parks introduced Billie in its announcement as “a new witch in town.”
