Meet Chipmunk-O-Saurus at Disney’s Animal Kingdom (Chip and Dale)
Chip and Dale, I mean, Chipmunk-O-Saurus, meet daily at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This pair of dinosaur-costumed chipmunks are quite the character meet. But you already knew that, right? Below, we’ll discuss how to meet Chip and Dale in their dinosaur costumes at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We’ll look at where to meet them and what kind of wait to expect.
Unfortunately, my initial attempt to meet these two didn’t go according to plan. Regardless, this character meet is worth the extra trouble, or should I say double the trouble?
Chip and Dale meet off the Cretaceous Trail in Dinoland, U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This meet, in particular, is unique because they are wearing bright colored costumes that resemble dinosaurs. The entrance to the Cretaceous Trail is on the left-hand side of the walkway that leads to Dinosaur, the attraction.
It’s a little off the beaten path, but there’s a sign out toward the front of the trail. Daisy Duck also meets toward the front of the trail. So if you see her out, you’ll know you’re in the right place.

However, you probably won’t see Chip and Dale because they meet toward the back of the trail. But you’ll likely see a line ahead and a few signs indicating you’re in the right place.
As you approach the character meet, you might run into a bit of a mess. It appears the pair of Chipmunk-O-Saurus have decorated the entire area.
I liked how the Paleontologist Zone had been turned into a fun zone.
Chip is wearing a purple dinosaur costume, while Dale (red nose) is wearing a green costume.
Both of the Chipmunk-O-Saurus were excited to greet their guests.
I arrived at 2:15 p.m. for the 2:30 p.m. meet-and-greet listed in the My Disney Experience app. However, the cast member turned me away and said they would be back at 4:00 p.m. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any choice but to wait. So I sat on a bench nearby and waited for Daisy’s next meet-and-greet.
While I waited, several other guests tried to join the line for Chip and Dale. They, too, were turned away. I always suggest checking the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit for exact times and locations. However, that’s what I did this afternoon, and it didn’t work out. This rarely happens but I wanted to mention it because if it happened to me it could happen to you.
While I waited, I ended up meeting Donald Duck who also meets nearby. After meeting Donald, it was nearly 3:51 p.m. So, I was able to come back and get in line for Chip and Dale’s next scheduled time of 4:00 p.m.

Two groups were ahead of me when I joined the line. Unfortunately, Chip and Dale were late and didn’t get to the meet-and-greet until 4:09 p.m.A PhotoPass photographer was present at this location on the day of my visit. Chip and Dale also both sign autographs.
Overall, I was glad to meet the pair. Like most character meets, all was forgiven by the time it was my turn. However, it would have been nicer had I met them the first go-around. Hopefully, you’ll have better luck than me.
