Meet Donald Duck in Mexico
Hola! Did you know that Donald Duck has a meet-and-greet at Epcot’s Mexico Pavilion? He meets outside the Aztec Pyramid in the World Showcase as the star of The Three Caballeros. In fact, he just returned from his concert tour!
Below, we’ll preview Donald Duck’s character meet-and-greet in the Mexico Pavilion and discuss where and when to find him on your next visit. Be prepared. This number one Duck is wearing his best sombrero at this location.

If Donald is greeting guests, he’ll be in front of the wall pictured below. It sits to the immediate right of the pyramid, just a little off the walkway.

We recently stopped to meet Donald and encountered a bit of a line. Unfortunately, most of this outdoor line is in direct sunlight, so be prepared.

Before meeting Donald, I had met Pluto at the gazebo along the World Showcase Promenade. After that, I walked to Mexico to see if I could find Donald Duck. Thankfully, Donald was out. However, he immediately took a break when I got in line at 2:35 p.m. Donald returned in a few minutes. When I met him, it was 2:54 p.m., so it took 19 minutes to see him, which wasn’t too bad.
Cast members attending the line asked that everyone wait patiently. They indicated Donald would be back in approximately five minutes. Small breaks are a common practice at many of the character meet-and-greets. However, if the character were not returning in a reasonable amount of time, a cast member would cut off the line. If that happens, the character will stay out until they meet everyone already waiting. After that, however, no one else will be allowed to join the queue.

There were no complaints here. Yes, Donald, you’re the number one duck. (He always has to remind you.)

A PhotoPass photographer is usually present to take photos. You’ll want to check the My Disney Experience for the exact timing of this character meet-and-greet on the day of your visit. Donald meets at this location intermittently throughout the day between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

Are you planning to meet Donald Duck during your next visit to Epcot? Is he one of your favorite characters?
I didn’t realize that there is now a guide with times to see Characters. This will be super helpful. Thanks.
Some of them are listed in Disney’s app, but some of them aren’t.
