With the retirement of the Animal Kingdom flotillas, some characters previously only spotted cruising the Discovery River can now be found on land. We’ll start our day of character updates with a look at Pocahontas – newly returned to The Oasis at the front of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

As you might remember, Pocahontas made morning meet and greets in this location last fall before she cruised the Discovery River in the afternoon. While that was a limited-time offering and she eventually returned to the flotillas full-time, we’re told that she will now exclusively meet in The Oasis for the foreseeable future.

Pocahontas Meet & Greet at Animal Kingdom

Pocahontas used to meet at the Discovery Island Character Landing, but Moana took over that space during Pocahontas’ sabbatical. Now, guests can find Pocahontas in The Oasis at the front of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. If you’re not familiar with its official name, The Oasis is the lush environment that you walk through between the main entrance tappoints and spotting the Tree of Life. If you see the Tree of Life, you’ve gone too far.

Here’s a look at where Pocahontas was meeting this morning, in a little offshoot from the main walkway on the “right” side of The Oasis as you’re entering Animal Kingdom.
