We are Oregon Ducks fans, and we plan to all wear our Ducks shirts to DL or CA on one day with the hopes of having a picture taken with Donald. (Oregon's Puddles looks just like Donald.)

Will we find him in Toontown? Does he frequent any of the character meals?
Other suggestions?

Thanks! Go Ducks!

Bwahahhaha before I opened up the post I was going to say "At a UofO game"

;-)

Also a little funny from our 2012 trip. My son (7 at the time, first trip) was wearing his Ducks shirt and while getting Mary Poppins and Bert's autograph, Bert said to him "I'm pretty good at this so I'm going to try and guess, are you frommmmm Oregon?" and my son was in awe like how did he know that!?!!? He was smiling soooo big and then when he realized how Bert figured it out they both had a good laugh about it
 
He's typically on Main Street right when you go through the tunnels. That's where my son got his pic with him in May.
 
I agree with the PP. Be there when the park opens and you should see him at the front of the park. We got several great pics with him back in June.
 

Besides the Main Street Hub in DL, we have had our pic taken with him in DCA.
In DCA he's been up on the boardway in the gazebo just past Aeriel's Grotto. When we have seen him there he's usually wearing a Sailor Suit and hat.

Last year he was in the Big Thunder Ranch carnival area dressed as a jack o lantern and I'm pretty sure he will be there again this year.

Yes, just last week I saw him there, and there were NO crowds at all. (It was a very hot weather spell, mind you!)
 
Met him once in the main hub, and all the other times have been in the gazebo just past Aeriel's Grotto as Geemo said..
never seen him at Toontown
 
As other have said , Paradise Pier in DCA will be your best chance to meet him as he has his own M&G there.

I have seen him on Main Street in the morning too , by City Hall and most recently in the Halloween Jamboree area, wearing an adorable pumpkin costume. We have also spotted him in Toon Town, but is rarely out in that area.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Go Dawgs.

sorry, i know this isn't substantive but, mods, trust me, this had to be done.
 
He's often at the character breakfast in PPH. We're headed there this morning. I'll let you know if we see him.
 
Normally Donald can be found either swimming in the Rivers of America, or sun bathing on its 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.
 
You mean I totally missed Donald dressed as a pumpkin when I was there?!? Oh, man!!

We didn't see him on Main Street at park opening, either. We saw Goofy, Pluto, and Mickey there, though.

We saw Donald near Ariel's Grotto on the Pier, though. Aa a pp described, he was wearing a sailor's outfit, different than his usual.

And then we saw Donald in ToonTown. He was headed somewhere, holding hands with kids and leading a group.
 
He does have a meet n greet on the pier area by Ariel's Grotto in his sailer suit. But we have also seen him multiple times in Toontown when it first opens. We often go there when it opens and always see Donald, Goofy, Daisy and Pluto. Then, of course Mickey and Minnie in their houses. Oh, and GO DUCKS!!! I should bring my Puddles stuffed animal that plays the fight song next time I go to DL and play it for Donald!

I didn't see Donald at BTR either. I saw Mickey and Minnie switching out with Goofy. On 2 different days. I guess he just wasn't in the rotation when I happened to be there.
 
He was there on Dapper Day:

I was wondering about this. Not because I'm a Ducks fan. I don't hate them, but they make me mad every year. They'll be doing great, and then lose some easy game and let Alabama into the title game. And that makes me mad.

No, we went last November and I didn't see Donald, my fave, once. 4 days in the parks and no Donald? What kind of a Disney park has no Donald Duck roaming around everywhere? Everytime I was near the CA Gazebo, Phineas and Ferb were there. Not that I mind them, but a change in character would've been nice.
 
I clearly.mixed up my breakfasts and ducks. Donald is not at Surf's Up. Sorry.
 
Donald's my fave too (despite my despising UofO :) ) As previous posters have noted the place I've seen him most regularly lately is near Ariel's Grotto in DCA, in the sailor outfit. There's a gazebo there where he often is taking photos.
