Donald and Daisy Duck Join Goofy at Harambe Train Station for Temporary Meet-and-Greet
Donald and Daisy Duck met at this temporary location at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in the Spring of 2026. Typically, you can still find them in the park. Make sure to check the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit for their exact location, or see our guide with all locations to meet Donald and Daisy at Disney World. The information below is left for historical reference and is part of our retired character list.
On a recent visit to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we found Donald and Daisy Duck at a temporary meet-and-greet location at the Harambe Train Station. You may remember that Goofy has already been meeting here for a couple of months. We also saw that signage for Rafiki’s Planet Watch was completely covered. You may remember that this area temporarily closed in late February. From my understanding, it will no longer be called Rafiki’s Planet Watch.
The area closed to make way for a new experience called Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station, which is slated to open on May 26th. Between now and then, the Harambe Train Station is being used as a character meet-and-greet location for Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Goofy. Goofy has been meeting at this location since last Fall. So if you’re visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom in the next few months, this is a great opportunity to meet three characters at once, each wearing a unique outfit. Here’s a look at the entrance to the Harambe Train Station.
A smaller sign indicated that an exciting event was happening nearby, including character greetings and Wilderness Explorer activities.
Even though these photos were taken during the busy Spring Break season, it was apparent that most guests weren’t aware of the location.
Once we reached the train station, we took a left for the character greetings.
You’ll wait in one line and then meet Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Goofy. We waited less than five minutes. Both Donald and Daisy Duck were wearing their safari suits. These are the same outfits they wear at Tusker House, a nearby character dining experience.
After we said hello to Donald, we stopped by to see Daisy. She was looking as fabulous as ever.
Next, we ran into Goofy, who’s wearing his bird-watching outfit. All of the characters signed autographs at this location, and a PhotoPass photographer was present at each meet-and-greet on the day of our visit.
In the center of the train station, there were several activities set up for children. Most of them were part of the Wilderness Explorer program.
You can pick up a complimentary guidebook when you first enter the park. There were also a few available at a stand in the area.
All three character meet-and-greets are listed in the My Disney Experience app. We circled back through the area later in the day and found that they were wrapping things up at about 4:00 p.m. You’ll want to check the app on the day of your visit for exact locations and times. Remember that there are many changes taking place at Disney’s Animal Kingdom at this time. This means we’ll likely see more character meet-and-greet locations shift. Our best advice is to use the app as your guide in the park, and if you can’t find someone, ask a cast member at another character’s meet-and-greet location.
We hope you get to meet lots of characters on your next visit! Remember to check the schedule in the app to confirm availability, times, and location.
