Get this – Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde from Zootopia were meeting guests near the iconic Tree of Life! It was fantastic seeing these two fan favorites spreading the message of environmental awareness.

We snapped some awesome photos with the duo, and it was clear other park-goers were equally excited for this rare encounter. It’s such a fantastic way to celebrate Earth Day and get guests thinking about protecting our environment.

We also heard rumors that Kenai and Koda from Brother Bear might be cruising the Discovery River on a special Earth Day flotilla. We are happy to report these rumors turned out to be true, and we managed to snag some photos of the adorable duo as they floated on by!

Here are some tips for catching these rare Earth Day characters:

  • Download the My Disney Experience App: While character appearances aren’t always listed, the app can sometimes offer clues about special events.
  • Ask Cast Members: The friendly folks working at Animal Kingdom are a wealth of information. Don’t hesitate to inquire about rare character sightings!
  • Be patient and flexible: Since these are special appearances, there’s no guarantee you’ll see them. But hey, that’s part of the fun – the chance encounter can make your day even more magical!
