    where can i meet russell and dug from UP

    Hiya Patricia,

    Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney with your question about character meet and greets! Coming from my home state of New Jersey, I can imagine how excited you must be to trade the Garden State for the most magical place on earth.

    Now, let’s adventure out—because adventure is out there, after all! In my own visits, I’ve loved meeting Dug and Russell over at the Wilderness Explorers Clubhouse in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Just like real explorers, it’s always a little surprise which characters you’ll see, since meet and greets can change day to day. One of my favorite magical moments is spotting Kevin—her colorful feathers peeking above the crowd always make me smile. She’s such a fun friend to look for while exploring the park!

    To make sure you don’t miss a thing, I highly recommend checking your My Disney Experience app during your trip. It will give you the most up-to-date information on which characters are greeting guests and when.

    I hope this helps you get ready for your adventure, Patricia! If you have more questions, we’d love to see you back here again.

    See you real soon,

    Christina
