Pluto formerly met in Donald’s Dino-Bash at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This meet-and-greet location ended in 2025. Typically, you can still find him in the park. Make sure to check the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit for his exact location. The information below is left for historical reference and is part of our retired character list.

Pluto has returned to his meet-and-greet location at Donald’s Dino-Bash in Dinoland, USA, at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Since the character cruises ended, Pluto meets intermittently throughout the day. He rotates this location with Goofy.

Pluto’s meet-and-greet is a little off the beaten path. You can find this location directly behind Chester and Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures gift shop. It’s along the walkway when you’re exiting DINOSAUR, on the right, before you reach the gift shop.

A faux dinosaur sits nearby. The character meet-and-greet is identified by the Donald’s Dino-Bash signage in the background.

A few guests were waiting in line ahead of us. It took less than five minutes to meet Pluto.

Pluto was as happy as ever to see us! We were also happy to see him. He’s become a bit of an obscure character to find this last year.

A PhotoPass photographer was available at this location. However, they are not guaranteed. He also signs autographs.

Pluto was happy to show off his dinosaur collar and tag, which is unique to this meet-and-greet.

If you’re visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom and want to meet Pluto, make sure to check the My Disney Experience app for his exact times. You can also ask one of the cast members wearing a blue shirt at another character’s meet-and-greet for information.
