Meet Donald and Daisy Duck at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

When it comes to characters at Hollywood Studios, Donald and Daisy are a fun option when you find them together. As you may know, there aren’t many places to meet them as a couple. However, from time to time, they’ve been seen together at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. When they are together, we usually find them at Echo Lake near Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction (the green dinosaur that doubles as an ice cream shop).

Donald and Daisy Duck often meet intermittently at this location throughout the day. Typically, they meet with guests between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. This meet-and-greet is listed in the My Disney Experience app. We recommend checking the app on the day of your visit for the exact timing of their meet-and-greet, and we’ve included instructions on how to do that a little further down.

Update: As of this update, Donald and Daisy Duck are meeting at Off the Page at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

How to Locate Donald or Daisy at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Use the following instructions to locate Donald or Daisy Duck 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 location drop-down to choose your park.
• Then, in the bottom-right corner 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. Be sure to check the app for meet-and-greets on the day of your visit. For a complete overview, see our guide on how to find characters in the My Disney Experience app.

The following details are from a visit when we found the pair meeting together:

When we arrived, a line had already formed for the pair. Unfortunately, we waited nearly 25 minutes because they left for a small break. This happens fairly often, so you’ll want to stay put if you see them leave. They will return shortly. We also had a situation where a large family met with the couple for a long time. Sometimes, that can be frustrating. But it’s part of meeting characters. We see many guests wait hours to meet a character, then spend less than a minute greeting them and having their pictures taken. Ultimately, it tends to even out.

Here they are now.

Donald and Daisy both sign autographs here. A PhotoPass photographer was available on the day of our visit.

Here are photos of both Donald and Daisy’s character autographs.

While both characters are non-verbal, they do a pretty good job of communicating. You can always tell when Donald gets in trouble. Daisy will let him know quickly.
