Today is the day you can pose with your favorite characters from Up! Dug and Russell are back and ready to meet you at the Wilderness Explorers Club House.
The Clubhouse is a great location for photos as the queue and meeting area is covered and shady.
As you can see, plenty of guests are lining up ready to meet Dug and Russell.
The two characters rotate throughout the day. Dug appears between 9:30am-3:30pm.
And Russell makes appearances from 9am-3pm.
The two appear separately, but we didn’t mind waiting to meet them both.
How cute is Dug? He is posed in front of a red wagon filled with camping supplies and a bumper sticker that says “I [heart] squirrels.”
And of course, we spotted a bucket of tennis balls!
Dug is ready for hugs and photos.
What a great pic! I love the background details with the Wilderness Explorers symbol and Club House notices.
Reminders about recycling and respecting nature make a great backdrop.
Fans of Disney’s film, Up can also snap a photo with Russell!
Russell appears in the same location as Dug and they alternate meet-and-greet times.
This is the first time we have seen these two since 2022.
We are so excited to get to meet and greet with them again.
Prior to this, the two Up characters were only available sailing along the Discovery River on the Adventure Flotilla.
The wilderness must be explored! 🏡🎈
