Well, for a while, one of those characters has been missing from his usual meet-and-greet spot in EPCOT. Now, though, we are happy to report that Disney’s #1 duck has returned to the Mexico Pavilion with his poncho and sombrero and is meeting people there again!

Okay, so there’s a LOT of construction going on in Disney World right now. Magic Kingdom is getting an expansion and a new Villains land. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is getting a new land. Even Disney’s Animal Kingdom is…getting a new land. Sensing a trend yet?
