Kevin, our favorite thirteen foot tall giant tropical bird from Disney/Pixar’s UP is coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Russell the Senior Wilderness Explorer and Dug are already big parts of the “UP! A Great Bird Adventure” show featuring beautiful and exotic trained birds. I am sure they will be really excited for Kevin when she arrives!
Kevin has been tracked from South America and we are sure she will be landing sometime in February. We are told you will be able to visit them daily on Discovery Island and catch their show at the Anandapur Theatre.
Watch your chocolate! Kevin likes to help herself to Russell’s chocolate bar. I wonder if that will be apart of the show? We will have to wait and see.
