Hi there, Tinter!
Welcome to planDisney. No Disneyland day is complete without a hug from a favorite pal or two, and Chip and Dale are two of my favorites to run into while out and about in the parks! I absolutely love that throughout your day, you will likely bump into a familiar friend just roaming through Fantasyland or even waving to you from the Mark Twain Riverboat. Just last week, I saw the Mad Hatter, Alice, Tiana, Pocahontas, Mary Poppins, and Bert!
While I can give you a few pointers on where to find Chip and Dale, I double checked with my planDisney pals, and we haven't seen the full cast of Rescue Rangers as a meet and greet option recently.
My fellow panelist Q mentioned that he hasn't seen them since 90s Nite, which was a special, ticketed
Disneyland After Dark event. I'm sorry, I know that was not the news you were hoping to hear! That being said, it's easy to find out who is meeting on any particular park day directly in the
Disneyland app. When you arrive for the day, head into the app and tap the pinpoint icon to pull up the map. Along the top, you can scroll to filter for "Characters". In the bottom, right-hand corner, tap "Show List" for an easy-to-access alphabetical view where you can scroll to your favorite. You will be able to see the time and location for any characters that plan to be in the parks that day!
Additionally, Chip and Dale like to make appearances at some of the character dining locations. This is a great way to guarantee some quality time with characters while enjoying a delicious meal. While this is never a guarantee, as the characters do rotate in and out, I have given Chip a high-five at
Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel and a hug at Mickey's Tales of Adventure Breakfast at
Storytellers Cafe at the Grand Californian. Note that dinner at Storytellers changes over to Donald's Tales of Adventure Dinner Buffet, which I enjoyed last week and saw Daisy, Donald, Clarabelle, Pluto, Goofy, and Pluto. Sometimes, Chip and Dale can also make an appearance at the Plaza Inn's
"Minnie and Friends - Breakfast in the Park". No matter what, these experiences will have you smiling from ear to ear!
Tinter, I sure hope this has been helpful! If you have any more questions, we love sharing our best planning tips with fellow Guests here at
planDisney.
Magic awaits!
