Meeting Goofy

[momneedscoffee13]

Where do you think will be the best spot/park to meet Goofy (shortest wait time)? We will be in all 4 parks over the course of 3 days and I'm now having to fit in a Goofy meet since he's being removed from Tusker House (per Kenny)! Out of all 4 of our character meals, TH was our only one with Goofy!! I suppose my other option is to replace Ohana, TH, or GG with Cape May or Chef Mickey! Ugh the frustration and disappointment!!!!

I am positive that Goofy is at the Character Spot in Epcot. That is honestly the best way to get most of the characters as it is a meet and greet. Also, you can FP+ this so you shouldn't have to wait too long. The professional photogs will be there to take pictures but you can snap one yourself without any problem. Hope this helps. It's what I would do!

We saw Goofy at the character spot in Epcot, and in Dinoland at Animal Kingdom.

We always find the shortest wait for Goofy to be at the Big Top Circus Tent with Donald. The last two trips we literally walked right up to both of them.

As PP's stated he is also at Character Spot in EPCOT which isn't bad as you can FP and the line is inside.

Dinoland he meets with Pluto but we always find the line to be slow moving and it's right in the sun. Not our first pick when going in the hotter months.

I agree with meeting him at Big Top Circus. Especially if you go later in the day. There was no line for him and Donald when we went last December.

Thanks all!! I won't be able to use FP at Epcot since we will only be at the park in the evenings, but maybe the lines will be shorter then! I'll add the circus at MK to our TP and see how it goes!

Another vote for the Big Top in Fantasyland. We walked right in with no wait a couple of weeks ago and as a bonus...you also get Donald at the same time (separate meet and great but same que). The only thing that might make a difference to you is that in Fantasyland he is "The Great Goofini" with matching costume...

Goofy, Mickey and Minnie are at the Four Seasons' character breakfast two times per week. It's held three times per week during the high seasons.

You would need your own transportation to the FS, but, because the restaurant isn't very busy, there's reported to be great and numerous interactions with all three characters. $39 for adults, $17 for children and $5 valet parking for breakfast guests.

Great idea! What costumes do these characters come in?

To me the best place to meet Goofy is at a Character Meal. On our trip (we just got back last Friday! ) We had an audience with the "Great Dog" at Chef Mickey's, Cape May Cafe, and yes at the Tusker House . I like the meals because I feel like we get more time with him (listen to me, talking like he's family ) Its also something that is very easy to plan out, especially at Cape May Cafe, our personal fav. Its personal there because that's the first location I ever met him at. We also did Chef Mickey's for breakfast at 7am this trip and whats cool there is you get the FAB 5 all in one location.

It's sad he won't be at the Tusker House any more..........it was very cool to have him, Mickey, and Donald at the same location.

Anyway...........I'm more a fan of the meals than the parks but thats me.

He's normally always near the sorcerer hat at HS in the morning. Lines are usually never long
