With Earth Day only a week away, we are going to showcase some of the way Disney Parks focuses on the environment.
Walt Disney expressed his commitment to the conservation of natural resources more than 60 years ago and the Disneyland® Resort continuously looks for ways to make their daily operations more environmentally friendly.
A celebration is in order at Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park on April 22nd. Not only is it Earth Day, but the park will celebrate its 14th birthday!
Since 1998, Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park has told its guests a story about conservation each and every day of its operation. During this years Party for the Planet celebration on Earth Day, guests will find out what they can do to make their backyards wildlife-friendly as well as discover other ways to conserve wildlife and protect nature.
Special Earth Day activities at Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park include:
Even if you don’t get to experience one of the special Earth Day activities, be sure to check out the sand sculpture outside of the park entrance celebrating the release of “Chimpanzee’, Disneynature’s newest True Life Adventure film!

Test Track®, one of Epcot’s® most popular attractions, will close this Monday, April 16th, for refurbishment. When it reopens again in the fall, it will present guests with a whole new experience!
The re-imagining of the attraction will change the current testing lab queue area into a new “Chevrolet Design Center” allowing guests to become automotive designers. After creating their own custom concept vehicle, guests buckle in to one of the 6-person Test Track® ”SimCars” and try out their customized vehicle on the Test Track® circuit. After experiencing the hills, switchbacks and straight-aways of the circuit, guests will receive scores in the post-show area grading the performance of their concept vehicles. Even though the vehicles are called “SimCars,” the attraction will remain a ride like it is today – it will not be a simulator experience.
A reopening date has not been announced.

A couple weekends ago, Disneyland® Resort played host to SIGNin’ in the Street – a Celebration of Creativity in the Deaf community. As a focus on Disney’s commitment to diversity, this first-of-a-kind event at any Disney property provided Disneyland® Resort guests the opportunity to learn about deaf culture through screenings, performances, workshops, and celebrity presentations.
Some of the highlights of the event included:

Some of the highlights of the event included:
Florida – The Sunshine State.
Its state fruit: Orange.
State beverage: Orange Juice.
State Flower: you guessed it – Orange Blossom.
With this reoccurring orange theme, it only seems fitting that the Walt Disney World® Resort reintroduce the original Citrus Swirl. Available at Sunshine Tree Terrace inside of the Magic Kingdom® Park, the Citrus Swirl is a mixture of vanilla soft-serve twisted with an orange juice slush. Like the famous Dole Whip available at Aloha Isle, the Citrus Swirl is a great way to cool down and beat the Florida heat. Guests using the Disney Dining Plan can redeem (1) Snack credit for a Citrus Swirl.
Aloha Isle is located in the Adventureland® Area of the Magic Kingdom® Park – near Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room. While you are there, check out one of their new entrees including Orange Glazed Chicken with Rice, an Asian BBQ Pork Sandwich, or an Asian Pineapple Salad!
