Meet Daisy Duck at Epcot's International Gatway

If you’re entering Epcot via the International Gateway, you might run into Daisy Duck. She meets regularly at the park’s secondary entrance. While we have seen her move around a bit, she seems to have settled back into this location for the meantime. We are always happy to see her here because it’s shaded and fairly easy to find. It is especially easy to run into her if you enter through this separate backdoor entrance. Below, we’ll preview a few photos of this location and what to expect.

If you enter the park at the International Gateway, you’ll see Daisy on the right-hand side of the walkway if she’s out. This area along the waterway is about 50 feet past the ticket turnstiles. A separate walkway leads to this area if you’re coming from the World Showcase. It’s on the right past the United Kingdom Pavilion before you cross the bridge toward the France Pavilion. The photo below was taken from the bridge, looking down at the area where Daisy meets guests. If you zoom in, you’ll see her with a line of guests past the last bench.

Here’s a closer look at the guests waiting to meet her.

For reference, I took a photo of the bridge while standing in line. If Daisy is out, you should be able to see her from the bridge. She meets intermittently throughout most of the day. Her exact times and locations will be listed in the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit.

Here’s how to locate those specifics in the app. Then, we’ll preview a few photos.

How to Locate Characters in the My Disney Experience App

Open the My Disney Experience app and select the pin drop at the bottom of the home screen.
Scroll (left to right) through the icons at the top of the screen and select “Characters.”
After selecting characters, use the locations drop-down to select the park of your choice.
Then, on the bottom right of the screen, select “Show List.”
Scroll through the list of characters with their times and locations.

As an alternative, you can use the map view to locate characters.

*As the day passes, you might notice that characters disappear from the app. When their last scheduled time passes, the meet-and-greet automatically disappears. A new schedule won’t be loaded until the following day. It is essential to check the app for meet-and-greets on the day of your visit.

Daisy Duck is full of sass and charm. At Epcot, she wears her traditional pink dress with purple trim and a bow. She’s also been known to sport a chef’s outfit during the Epcot Food and Wine Festival.

Additionally, she is an autograph-signing character. So make sure to have your autograph book out and ready for her to sign when it’s your turn. A PhotoPass photographer was not available on the day of this visit.

It’s important to remember that character locations and availability can change on any given day. I cannot stress enough the importance of using the steps above to locate times and exact locations on the day of your visit. However, if you cannot find someone, it doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t meeting. We usually like to ask a cast member in a light blue shirt at another character’s meet-and-greet if we’re having trouble finding someone. Those cast members work with characters and are probably best suited for answering questions related to them.

If you have an upcoming Walt Disney World vacation planned, make sure to look for Daisy Duck when you visit Epcot. For more meet-and-greets at this park, see our list of characters who meet at Epcot.
