Where Can You Meet Judy Hopps & Nick Wilde During Zoogether Day at Disney World? There is a new character meet and greet exclusive to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. From the ZPD (Zootopia Police Department), Officer Judy Hopps & Officer Nick Wilde are meeting and greeting guests on Discovery Island and the newly opened “The Gathering Spot”
Updated to fix spelling of Nick Wilde!
Today was officially the first day The Gathering Spot was open to guests. Guests needed to first queue up to get a return time. You would be given your phone number and be able to walk around and enjoy the new show Zootopia: Better Zoogether in the Tree of Life. Once you got a second text, you could then enter the actual queue for the meet and greet. There is no word on how long this two-step process of queueing will last.
The Gathering Spot is a rethemed meet and greet area at the entrance to the Tree of Life. Previously, it was first a Fast Pass ticket area, then it became Russel & Dug’s Wilderness Explorers Clubhouse, which just recently closed. The new Gathering Spot was designed for Zoogether Day.
Judy & Nick are in their newer costumes from the show Zootopia: Better Zoogether, and also from the new movie releasing at the end of the month, Zootopia 2. No official times have been released as of today, but figure 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 or 4:00 p.m. daily.
