Meet Donald and Daisy Duck at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
There aren’t many places to meet Donald and Daisy Duck as a couple. However, they have recently met at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We found them at Echo Lake near Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction (the green dinosaur that doubles as an ice cream shop).
Donald and Daisy Duck meet intermittently throughout the day at this location. Typically, they meet with guests between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. This meet-and-greet is listed in the My Disney Experience app. We always recommend checking the app on the day of your visit for the exact timing of their meet-and-greet.
Update: These two have moved multiple times in the last year. You might find them together near Echo Lake. However, we sometimes see Donald Duck roaming the area in front of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. We still see Daisy at this same location. So, make sure you use the instructions provided below to locate them on the day of your visit. With so much construction going on in the park in 2026, they could move again.
How to Locate Characters in the My Disney Experience App
- Open the My Disney Experience app and select the pin drop at the bottom of the home screen.
- Scroll (left to right) through the icons at the top of the screen and select “Characters.”
- After selecting characters, use the locations drop-down to select the park of your choice.
- Then, on the bottom right of the screen, select “Show List.”
- Scroll through the list of characters with their times and locations.
- As an alternative, you can use the map view to locate characters.
*As the day passes, you might notice that characters disappear from the app. When their last scheduled time passes, the meet-and-greet automatically disappears. A new schedule won’t be loaded until the following day. It is essential to check the app for meet-and-greets on the day of your visit.

When we arrived, a line had already formed for the pair. Unfortunately, we waited nearly 25 minutes because they left for a small break. This happens fairly often, so you’ll want to stay put if you see them leave. They will return shortly. We also had a situation where a large family met with the couple for a long time. Sometimes, that can be frustrating. But it’s part of meeting characters. We see many guests who wait for hours to meet a character and spend less than a minute greeting them and having their pictures taken. Ultimately, it tends to even out.
Here they are now.
Donald and Daisy both sign autographs at this location. A PhotoPass photographer was available on the day of our visit.
Here are photos of both Donald and Daisy’s character autographs.
While both characters are non-verbal, they do a pretty good job of communicating. You can always tell when Donald gets in trouble. Daisy will let him know quickly.
