Meet Goofy in His Bird-Watching Costume Near Restaurantosaurus

Update: This meet-and-greet has concluded. Goofy now meets in another area of the park, wearing a different outfit. You can learn more about his current location in our Animal Kingdom Characters Guide. The photos of Goofy in his carnival outfit are left below for historical reference. See our retired meet-and-greet list for more former locations.

What kind of bird works at a construction site? A crane. Get it? This is the kind of joke you’ll want to come up with before you meet Goofy in his bird-watching attire at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. He’s giving all the Camp Mickey-Minnie vibes in this newly-fashioned look that comes with a set of props! Not to mention, that goofy smile is always adorable.

If you’re hoping to meet Goofy, he’s moved around a bit. As of late, he’s been meeting at a dedicated location next to Restaurantosaurus in Dinoland, U.S.A. Previously, he was meeting behind Chester and Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures, which has since permanently closed. Before that, we ran into Goofy in his carnival costume in Dinoland USA. He was also part of the character cruises that have now ended.

Since Goofy moves so much, you’ll want to check his listing in the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit. We expect this location to close at some point in the future, with the remainder of Dinoland. We will update this article when this meet-and-greet closes.

Not long after I arrived, a cast member rolled out Goofy’s bird-watching gear and mentioned that he would return in about 10 minutes. By this time, a couple of other guests had arrived, and we formed a line.

It looks like Goofy might have accidentally taken a selfie while trying to photograph the birds.

At the top of his gear, he had a chart that listed how many birdies he saw and what kind! Is this not the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?

Goofy then posed for a couple of photos. He signs autographs at this location, and a PhotoPass photographer was available during this visit.

Remember to check the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit for Goofy’s exact location and times. He meets intermittently throughout most of the day. But most character meet-and-greets tend to wrap up a few hours before the park closes. It’s also important to consider the weather for outdoor meet-and-greets. This meet-and-greet would be canceled in the event of rain or other inclement weather.
