Clarabelle Cow is a somewhat difficult character to find at Walt Disney World. She makes several appearances at seasonal parties throughout the Halloween and Christmas seasons. However, she does not have a daily meet-and-greet in any of the parks or appear at any character meals.

Clarabelle Cow made her debut in The Plow Boy, a 1929 cartoon. According to her writeup on the D23 fan site, she has appeared in over 17 cartoons, typically paired with Horace Horsecollar, an even rarer character to find in the parks.

Below, we’ll preview the locations where we’ve seen Clarabelle Cow in the parks in recent years, starting with the Frontierland Hoedown at Magic Kingdom. The Frontierland Hoedown is a surprise, pop-up character dance party that happens on the walkway in front of the Country Bear Musical Jamboree. Since it’s a sporadic event, there’s no real way of knowing when it will happen. We’ve typically lucked up on it in the late afternoon between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. It lasts approximately 10 minutes. You can ask a cast member in the area about availability, but it’s intended to be a surprise and delight thing for guests who happen upon it.

Here is a list of the places we’ve seen Clarabelle Cow at Disney World:

• The Frontierland Hoedown
• The Boo To You Parade at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
• Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
• Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration Castle Stage Show (She has a segment in the performance.)
