Great news out of EPCOT!

So EPCOT played a little switcheroo with us recently and sent Donald Duck over to the Imagination Pavilion for character meet-and-greets. And sure, we loved meeting Donald in the crisp, cool air conditioning, but part of us missed Donald’s big sombrero, too. Well, if you’ve been missing Donald at his signature stop in the Mexico Pavilion, you’re in luck. Donald is BACK, greeting guests at the Mexico Pavilion!
Donald’s meet and greet in EPCOT is FINALLY back open! Like we said, you could have met Donald elsewhere during the construction of the Mexico Pavilion, but all is back to normal (YAY!).

Donald’s original meet and greet spot has been under refurbishment for a while now, but the walls are finally down and Donald is back to meeting in his regular spot. For reference, here’s the BEFORE…

…and here’s the AFTER! Donald has made a triumphant return!

You’ll want to check the My Disney Experience App for his full list of meeting times, and remember that meet and greets often close much sooner than other attractions around the park.
Additionally, the times may be impacted if there’s bad weather in the area!

I think that out of all my pictures of myself and characters, I like Winnie the pooh the best. It was a very great day that stands out in my memory. I can tell by my huge smile on my face. I don’t looked annoyed or exhausted.
