I’m often asked where a guest can meet Donald Duck in his classic “Sailor” costume in Walt Disney World. It used to be really easy when he met at the Epcot Character Spot, but in 2015 it can be quite tricky to find him in this costume.
As of July 2015, Donald Duck doesn’t offer any regular meet and greets or character meals in his traditional blue sailor outfit. The only opportunities that you MIGHT find him in this costume are Epcot Character Training and Character Palooza. There’s no set schedules for these offerings, but the posts linked above will provide you with some good information that might allow you to meet him while you are visiting. At Epcot Character Training, your best bets would be the American Adventure gate or World Showplace gate.
Here’s a few of the costumes I’ve met Donald Duck wearing in Disney Parks and resorts:

I’m so jealous of all the times you got to meet my Donald I’m 41 and going for my first time in 18 days. All I have ever dreamed about is meeting and hugging Donald Duck. I really hope I can find him. My in-laws have gone every year since I’ve known them (10yrs) and they say its very very rare to see him. I’m hoping your tips still work. Thank you!
Donald is very common in the parks. He meets in all 4 parks.
Hi Kenny, does Donald still dress up as Davy Crockett? And is his costume the same in Cretaceous Trail as it is in Tusker House? Thanks!
No Donald is in Storybook now.
Costume at Tusker is different
