After months of pavement work and construction walls that detoured both ducks and guests alike, the walls are finally down in the meet and greet area. Donald is now back in his signature sombrero and ready to pose among the lush tropical vibes and ancient stone ruins that make this location one of the most charming (and Instagrammable!) character spots in the park.

Construction Timeline Recap

• April 2025: Crews began replacing pavement around the Mexico pavilion.
• May 2025: Construction walls went up between the Mexico and Norway pavilions.
• June 2025: The walls expanded to surround Donald’s meet and greet area, prompting a temporary relocation to the Magic Eye Theater.
• July 2025: Walls are now down around the meet and greet space, and Donald has returned!

While construction is still ongoing between the pavilions, the meet and greet area itself now sports new themed pavement, blending warm orange and brown tones that give the area a more natural, dirt-path look. The backdrop temple remains the same, and the old solid red pavement can still be seen surrounding the set, though likely not for long.

There are still visible signs of recent work—like bolt holes and seam marks where the walls were anchored—but the transformation is already giving the area a more immersive feel. The themed pavement continues down toward the backstage gate, hinting that more upgrades may be on the horizon.
