On April 22nd, Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park will be celebrating Earth Day in grand style with their Party for the Planet.
Coinciding with the release of “Bears” by Disneynature (actually releasing on April 18th), guests will learn about very special wildlife, the brown bears of Alaska. In addition, at Party for the Planet, guests will be able to explore ways to connect with and conserve wildlife and nature; including how to make their own backyards more wildlife-friendly.
The main entrance of Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park will feature various wildlife-friendly backyard habitats, as well as a commemorative Party for the Planet postcard.
Rafiki’s Planet Watch® Land will play home to many of the Party with the Planet festivities including face painters and caricature artists who will feature bear themed and other animal designs. In addition, families will be able to play a supermarket game together and learn about the impacts that their purchases have on wildlife and nature. Cast members who work on conservation projects around the world will be available to talk too!
Epcot® will have its own Earth Day celebration at The Seas with Nemo & Friends® Attraction where families can learn more about many of the sea life conservation projects that exist and children can test excluder devices that protect sea turtles. In Innoventions, a groundbreaking green show home exhibit will teach families about sustainable living and the supermarket game will be in place to share the impact of our purchases.
