Forget the rides, the shows, and the nighttime fireworks. One of our favorite things to do in Disney World is meet characters!
Tree of Life
We love getting Mickey hugs (is there anything better for a boost of serotonin?), and we love meeting characters in the parks and at character dining experiences. We know you do, too, so we have to tell you about two characters who have RETURNED for meet-and-greets in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
We were visiting Animal Kingdom recently and we ran into our favorite Junior Wilderness Explorer, Russell from Up. You can meet him again! He’s too sweet, right? You can find Russell on Discovery Island at the Wilderness Explorers Club House (OF COURSE!).
It’s Russell!
But Russell isn’t the ONLY Up character who has returned to meet guests at Animal Kingdom. Our favorite talking dog, Dug, is also meeting guests in that same location. Now, we didn’t get a chance to see Dug, but you can find out what time he and Russell meet guests on the My Disney Experience app.

To find characters, along with their meeting times and locations, on the My Disney Experience app, you’ll want to click on the location icon at the very bottom of the screen (next to the Home icon). Choose “Characters” from the dropdown at the top and you’ll see a map of where all the characters meet. You can click on “Show List” to get a complete list. You can also use the “Filter” feature to choose which park you’re looking at.

If you have a character you REALLY want to see, be sure to prioritize those meetings because characters only stay out for so long and you could miss them if you wait!
