From the 9/3 Disneyland Resort Update, with additional information:
After making his theme park debut in Tokyo earlier this year, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit joins Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, and Chip & Dale on Buena Vista Street starting September 14, according to the Disney Parks Blog (http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2014/09/oswald-the-lucky-rabbit-is-on-his-way-to-disney-california-adventure-park/). Disneyland annual passholders got a sneak peek at the new character Tuesday night during the "Fall Back to Fun" passholder event at Disney California Adventure.
While Disney is publicizing the debut of Oswald, the company has made no mention about the sudden disappearance of Duffy the Disney Bear from his Disney California Adventure meet-and-greet area. We don't know if Duffy is on vacation, or gone for good.

Update:
Oswald is currently scheduled to appear between park opening and 7:00 p.m. daily. His "territory" is between the main entrance gates and the Hyperion Bridge, so don't expect to see him rubbing elbows with Mickey outside Elias and Co.
A note sent to cast members says that "Oswald’s exact location and appearance schedule may be adjusted based on Guest flow and other factors during the first days or weeks."
