Has anyone seen Donald lately?

My daughter really wants to meet him, but in our last 3 trips we haven't been able to find him. We've met almost everyone under the sun except this duck! Anyone seen him waddling around the park lately? :goodvibes
 
I wrote an update about that a time ago. If I can find it, I will post it. :)
 
OK... I found my story....


Normally Donald can be found either swimming in the Rivers of America, or sun bathing on it's shore line, and quite often at that with his girlfriend Daisy.
Many guests have remarked how when they are touring upon either the Mark Twain or S.S. Columbia, they almost always can see him doing the one or the other. Sometimes though, Donald can be a bad baby, and get in the way of the people canoing, or get in the Captains way, so then he gets a good blast from their horn or else. Sometimes, Donald will visit pirates lair, and normally will be wearing not only his CM name tag, but a cute little pirate out fit too. I hear that he hand picked his outfit, because he made sure that clause came into writing under his current contract. This occurring, after his last costume debacle, when someone else was in charge of his wardrobe. Of course, wardrobe has final say as to what he wears, because after all this is a family park!
It is requested by management to not feed Donald any crackers, due to high carb content, see lately he has been putting on a bit of weight, and Disney is not interested in having to purchase him a completely new wardrobe, not any time soon anyway, due to California's poor economy. Also for the time being, as well as having to do with budgetary reasons, Donald will not be receiving his much wanted feather extensions. See that would be possible sooner than later, if it was not for the fact, that his extensions must be made from real feathers, none of those fake feathers that are synthetic, for they not only do not have the right feel nor fit to them, they make poor Donald break out into a rash. Very unsightly, I assure you of that. Poor duck.
If Donald is not busy resting or swimming, he will gladly give one his autograph. Just be careful though where one might ask for it, because some of the requests that he or especially Daisy will receive, can be really quite shocking, and again, this a family fun park, not a Las Vegas Revue Show.

Check at City Hall. They should have the schedule of character greetings for the day. Some of the CMs in the stores have that information too, or will be able to get it for you.

That's what I found funny about our trip in January. Everyone was saying that seeing Donald was rare, yet we ran into him 2 or 3 times! One time he was headed for City Hall but my daughter chased him down, and he ended up meeting a lot more children before taking his break!

I just went to post a pic on here but Photobucket is undergoing maintenance. I will try again later tonight.
 
Ever trip I've always seen him in Main Street usually in front of the theatre.
 
We only saw him on Main St at opening...don't pass him up there or you will only see him in a parade. We saw him in front of city hall on our first day when we entered the park.. and passed him in our excitement to be there finally.. wish we hadn't did not see him again except in the parade and he is my DHs favorite and we left without a pic of him (and we did 4 character meals... I wish he would make an appearance at one of them)
 
When we were there in November we saw him over at DCA right by Bugs Life - where the movie is shown. There is a little area there where, by chance, first thing in the morning, we saw Chip 'n' Dale, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. I was told that they are there at certain times of the day. Of course they were wearing different clothes - they were dressed more like tourists - Donald had on a hawaiin(sp??) shirt and fishing hat. You may want to check there for a schedule.
 
We were there at the beginning of March and he was on Main Street on a Thursday during MM!

Main Street was full of characters that morning, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto and Chip & Dale were all there!
 
We just returned yesterday from DL and saw Donald on Main Street (around noonish) and also he is at Toontown (early opening celebration)
 
I've seen him before at DCA in the sunshine plaza. Hope you find him next trip!

When we had our trip December 2010 we met Donald in DCA right by "bugs life" theater...off to the left right by the entrance.

you can always check @ gates when you enter...they can let you exactly where and when your character is:dance3::cheer2:
 
Here is my girl going for a walk with Donald in Jan 2011...
