i'd be really surprised if he doesn't visit his friends in toontown a lot. after all, he keeps his boat docked there.

worst case scenario, you can always ask a CM and have them contact the toonfinder.

Thanks...will remember that. Didn't know you could ask a CM. My son will be glad to know we can probably find him.

The last time I was in DL in October we asked at City Hall about Donald, and we were told that he now spends most of his time in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot. We did see him there the first day we were there (kind of in the same area as Cruella). He was dressed up as a stereotypical Hollywood director.

Goofy's Kitchen! He wished me a happy birthday by pointing at my button. You have to look hard. He's kinda short. I'm 5'1 and I towered over him.

The best help should be at City Hall, they have a list or make a call to find out when/where. They REALLY helped us when we were looking for Mary Poppins!

We saw Donald on the street in the Hollywood backlot area. We got a great shot of him next to my oldest son.

He was at Ariel's Grotto when we ate there in March.

We saw him at Goofy's Kitchen also. His feet are too big to move through the tables so he was stationed at a central location for the kids to visit him.

When we were there last June, we saw him in Toontown in an area next to his boat. Good luck on finding him!

The only time I have ever seen Donald and I have been going since 1958, was in 2003 at DCA in the Hollywood Backlot.

Donald Duck is hardly ever around. It has mostly to do with Mickey's jealously because deep in our hearts, we all know Donald is Disney's top character, but Mickey calls the shots and just doesn't let him out that often. This keeps Mickey in the spotlight.

I see Goofy and Pluto and Minnie everywhere and every trip. I've only seen Donald once in Toon Town, and a few times in DCA.

I say more Donald and less Mickey !!!

We saw Donald in Toontown during Morning Madness, and at Goofy's Kitchen. In Toontown, he didn't have a "handler" and it was total chaos.

I only saw him a couple times. Once when I was 7, once when I was 9. He was in the gazeebo type thing in Toontown.

If you can't find him and you're son would be happy with a pic/signature, I emailed Daisy Duck when I was a little kid, and someone replied back and snail-mailed me an autographed black and white photo. I'm not sure if they still do that or not, but just thought I'd tell you just in case.

Caught a glimse of him in Toontown with a handler on Tuesday of this week. Long line to see him but they seemed happy to oblige. "Look, there's Donald!" Mommy says, DS replies "Oh, what ride are we going on next?" Oh well.

Two things:

1. The people who assist the characters in the park are called "Hosts" NOT "Handlers."

2. The most likely places to look for Donald that he may appear:
~Toontown
~DCA Hollywood Backlot
~Ariel's Grotto
~Goofy's Kitchen

Go to DCA to the movie back lot. We have tons of pics with him and the family. Each time we have gone to DL that is where we see him.
