Meet Donald and Daisy Duck at Disney World (Every Location)
Donald and Daisy Duck are two of the most classic characters you can find in the parks. Below, we’ll look at every location you can meet them at Walt Disney World. In some instances, you might find them together, but most of the time, they meet separately. We’ll also touch on several other places you might find them, including character dining experiences, shows, and parades. You’ll just want to be aware that these two tend to have long lines. 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 met near the park’s entrance. These days, you can find Donald and Daisy Duck near Echo Lake. They’ve been meeting here pretty regularly for some time. However, occasionally we only run into one of them. You’ll want to make sure to check the My Disney Experience app for their exact locations and time on the day of your visit. Both characters sign autographs at this location, and a PhotoPass photographer was available on the day of our visit. This location is the only dedicated place at Disney World to meet Donald Duck in his traditional outfit, a blue sailor suit and bowtie. Daisy often meets in her traditional pink and purple outfit here and at Epcot.
Epcot
At Epcot, Daisy meets guests near the International Gateway, which is the park’s secondary entrance. This meet-and-greet is listed in the My Disney Experience app. Daisy is at this location regularly. She signs autographs, 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. See meet Daisy in a chef’s outfit for more pictures.
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. 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 Epcot’s Mexico Pavilion.
Magic Kingdom
Donald and Daisy have character meet -and-greets at Magic Kingdom. Both can 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. The pair is also part of Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire, the castle stage show at Magic Kingdom, which is performed multiple times daily.
Animal Kingdom
At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Donald and Daisy Duck meet just inside the park’s main entrance in The Oasis near Garden Gate Gifts. This is around the same area where we usually see Di’vine. The pair have been meeting together since Dinoland, U.S.A., closed in February of 2026.
Character Autographs
Donald and Daisy Duck sign autographs at most locations. Here is a photo of Donald’s autograph. He tends to add a “#1” to his signature.
