Where to Meet Goofy at Walt Disney World

Goofy is a regular character at Walt Disney World and is considered one of the Fab Five. This classic group of characters includes Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Minnie Mouse, and Pluto. Goofy has meet-and-greets in all four parks and makes numerous appearances. You will likely see him at least once during your visit, even with little effort.

We’ve run into Goofy on numerous occasions in different outfits. Below, I’ve compiled a list of places (including character dining) where you can usually find him. Then, we’ll discuss his timeline and share images of several unique outfits dating back to 2019.
