Where to Meet Pluto at Epcot (Near the Main Entrance)

Pluto meets guests at Epcot’s main entrance near Spaceship Earth. He meets guests on the right side, near a mural. As you likely know, Pluto is Mickey Mouse’s closest pal who’s always excited to meet guests.

Pluto’s meet-and-greet is formally listed in the My Disney Experience app as World Celebration, near the EPCOT main entrance. As you enter the park, you’ll see this location to the immediate right of Spaceship Earth. If he’s out, you won’t have any trouble finding him. But don’t be surprised to find a long line of guests waiting for a chance to say hi!

Update: Pluto has returned to this location in late 2026. Please note that the mural in the photos below has been replaced in recent years. However, the location has not changed.

This afternoon, the line was fairly long. After joining the line, Pluto left for a five-minute break. Characters typically take small breaks. The cast members let everyone know they would be back shortly. Sure enough, he returned a few minutes later. (If Pluto was leaving for a long time, the cast member would cut the line and not let anyone else join. So as long as you’re waiting, you’ll get to meet him, even if he takes a small break.)

We waited about fifteen minutes to meet Pluto, which was more than reasonable. A PhotoPass photographer was available there. However, they are not guaranteed. Pluto also signs autographs. He usually puts the autograph book on his nose to sign it. Make sure your items are out and ready for him when it’s your turn. Characters usually greet guests, then sign autographs before posing for photos. Here are a few photos.

*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.
