Is Donald now at Chef Mickey's? I thought I had read that he is there now and Chip and Dale are gone? Is this true? We have never been able to get a picture with Donald. He is very hard to find. We are going to WDW July 12-19 and have ressies at CM. I hope it is true.:banana:
 
I have heard this as well. I hope it's true! Donald also has his breakfast in Animal Kingdom which we are going to try as well. :banana:
 

When my family and I have been to Chef Mickey's for dinner Donald was always there and was always at the front where everyone waits to be seated, so he did not go to the tables like Mickey, Minnie and Goofy.
 
In the last few years we've always done Chef Mickey's for dinner and Donald was always in the front of the restaurant taking pictures alone with the kids. He didn't go around the restaurant like the other characters. This may have changed since Chip and Dale are no longer at Chef Mickeys.

We have been three times over the past year (most recent in Jan.)... Same thing, Donald was in front to take a pic with and did not come to the tables... Chip/Dale were not there....Pluto was there and came to the table also....

And pp mentioned Donald is also at Tusker House in the AK for his breakfast with Daisy, Mickey, and Goofy.
 
Donald was at our table at Chef Mickey's for breakfast, my daughter pinched his tail, its something I will never forget. We also saw him at the AK at the character meal (Daisy is also there if he is into the female duck)
 
Donald comes to the tables now. I have lots of pictures from him at our table in December.

Donald now visits at the tables, and chip and dale are gone. No more character at front for pics/autographs.
 
He sure is!

He came to our table and my nephew, the birthday boy even danced with the Donald! That was at breakfast on Sept. 1st. We'll be back for dinner on Aug 31st this year.
 
Thanks for this thread and all the answers. I'm glad I came across it! I chose CM for my DS's Bday this trip. Tonight, I asked him who his favorite Disney character was. He said Mickey and Donald. I knew we would see Mickey at CM, but I wasn't sure if Donald would be there. Hooray!:yay:
 
Donald was there for dinner in January. He stopped by our table. Here's a picture of Donald with my brother and his wife. That's my brother's wife, not Donald's (although they do make a cute couple).

I am so glad for the additional of Doanld at CMs but my beloved Chip and Dale are gone. RIP. Breakfast will never be the same for me.

We were there just this past Jan. 08 and he did not come around... Weird :confused3

We have been there three times since Chip and Dale left and Donald did not come around any of those times.... again that is weird :confused3

It seems that the same thing does not happen every day.
 
We ate at CM during our stay and oh they do have Donald here.

A few days before, we had my son get an autograph and picture from Donald in Epcot by the Mexico pavilion. A few days later when we had our CM ADR, Donald came to the table, and my "wonderful" son says...."Mommy, I already have a picture and autograph from Donald!" Needless to say Donald was a little piffed. He placed his hands on his hips, then put his hands to his eyes like he was crying. My son then says, "Donald, it is okay, I know you like signing my book. You may sign it again." Donald then starts jumping up and down in joy, grabs the book, and signs it. We then get more pictures and Donald heads to the next table. Later that evening when we were looking through the autograph book to see all the characters he had sign, we got to the page with Donald and he wrote Donald Duck all over the page and the one after, and the one after that. DH and I cracked up...DS said, "Well, I think we have enough Donald autographs for one trip!"
 
Yes, Chip and Dale are gone and now the fab 5 are there. At least they were for dinner.

Donald can be found at AK at the Camp MM character trails, or in the Tusker house breakfast buffet. I've also seen him at Mexico in Epcot and at the hat in DHS.

He is in Mexico as one of the Three Caballeros... My kids love that he see him during the boat ride through Mexico... I just preordered the new movie coming out because of that ride and their interest in Donald.
