Meet Donald and Daisy Duck at Disney World (Every Location)

Donald and Daisy Duck are two of the most classic characters at Walt Disney World. You can find the pair at various locations, including character dining experiences and meet-and-greet opportunities. 

Additionally, they make appearances in shows and parades. No matter where you find them, Donald and Daisy will surely add a touch of magic to your day.

Below, we’ll look at every location where Donald Duck and Daisy Duck can be met at Walt Disney World. In some instances, the two meet together; in others, they meet separately.

But first–a warning. These two tend to hold a long line at traditional meet-and-greets. So let out a giant sigh with an “aww phooey” and get ready to learn where to meet Disney’s #1 duck and his fabulous sidekick.

Hollywood Studios

Donald and Daisy Duck have moved around quite a bit at Hollywood Studios over the last few years. For many years, they have met near the park’s entrance. We would run into them meeting on an overhead balcony near the front of the park for a while. Then, earlier this year, we found them meeting in separate locations. Daisy was meeting alone on one of the lawns in front of the Hollywood Brown Derby.

Here is a video of the character sighting when Donald met Daisy at this location.

Update: This pair has moved once again! Make sure to check the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit for their exact location. As of this update, they are listed as being on Grand Ave, Grand Ave North. This is a small area across the walkway from Base Line Tap House. (They have moved multiple times, which is not ideal for anyone planning. Hopefully, they will settle somewhere more permanent.)

Donald and Daisy Duck meet at this location intermittently throughout the day. His times are listed in the My Disney Experience app. Both characters sign autographs at this location, and a PhotoPass photographer was available on the day of our visit.

This is the only place at Disney World where you can meet Donald Duck in his traditional outfit. He was eager to show off his sailor suit and bowtie.

Here they are now that Daisy has joined Donald.

Epcot

Daisy was meeting at Epcot near the International Gateway. However, she’s been relocated to the World Celebration Garden toward the front of the park. This meet-and-greet is listed in the My Disney Experience app. Daisy meets at this location most days throughout the week. She signs autographs at this location, and a PhotoPass photographer is usually present.

She also meets at this same location in her chef’s outfit during Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival.

Donald meets near Epcot’s Mexico Pavilion as one of The Three Caballeros. He meets intermittently throughout the day. This location is to the right of the pyramid in an offset area surrounded by landscaping.

This meet-and-greet is outdoors, so it will be canceled in the event of inclement weather. PhotoPass photographers are usually present, and Donald signs autographs at this meet-and-greet. For more specifics, our separate article details where to meet Donald Duck at Mexico in Epcot.

Magic Kingdom

Donald and Daisy have character meets at Magic Kingdom. The pair can also be found at Pete’s Silly Side Show, but they meet separately. Pete’s Silly Side Show is at the back of Storybook Circus at Magic Kingdom near the Fantasyland Train Station. This location is usually open from 10:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Daisy meets on the left-hand side of the circus tent. While waiting in this line, you’ll meet Daisy first, then Minnie Mouse.

Daisy meets as Daisy Fortuna, a fortune teller at the circus. She is as fabulous as ever.

Donald Duck meets on the opposite side next to Goofy. Donald meets as Donaldo, the Snake Charmer.

Donald and Daisy Duck are both in the Festival of Fantasy Parade at Magic Kingdom. This parade, which is held daily, kicks off in Frontierland. It continues through Liberty Square, around the castle hub, and ends on Main Street, U.S.A.

Donald and Daisy are also part of Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire, the castle stage show at Magic Kingdom, which is performed multiple times daily.

Animal Kingdom

Donald Duck and Daisy Duck meet at Donald’s Dino-Bash at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Each of the characters has separate meet-and-greet locations. Donald meets across from TriceraTop Spin. You can usually find him most days between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

There are plenty of places to meet Donald Duck and Daisy Duck at Walt Disney World. Our best advice is to always check the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit for traditional meet-and-greets.

Unfortunately, sometimes things change. For example, Daisy and Donald have moved multiple times around Hollywood Studios this last year. So, the app should list their locations on the day of your visit.

But for the most part, character meets are consistent. If you can’t find a specific location, ask a cast member wearing a blue shirt near a character meet. They tend to have the most up-to-date knowledge about where and when to find characters.
