Pluto and Goofy Relocate to Shared Meet-and-Greet in Animal Kingdom’s Asia

The move signals Disney’s reconfiguration of character placements as DinoLand U.S.A. is retired for the Tropical Americas expansion.

Overview

  • Guests can now find Pluto and Goofy together along the pathway behind Drinkwallah and the Royal Anandapur Tea Company in Animal Kingdom’s Asia section.
  • The pair have been posted at that Asia location since early June and are reported to appear roughly every 20 minutes through the day with a midday break around 1 p.m.
  • The relocation follows a year of character redistributions after DinoLand U.S.A. began closing and reflects operational changes tied to the planned Tropical Americas expansion.
  • Putting both characters in one scenic Asia spot is intended to cut guest walking between separate meets and to offer improved photo backdrops next to popular walkways and attractions.
  • Disney has not released a formal announcement about the move and it was documented by park observers and Disney-focused outlets, so character locations may shift again as the park evolves.
