To celebrate Earth Month, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will host limited-time experiences including unique Disney character appearances, fun learning opportunities, specialty merchandise, themed food and beverage, a new Wilderness Explorer activity, and more from April 18 to 24.

Here’s a look at what’s in store to spark your curiosity about wildlife and inspire your own conservation efforts during Earth Month at Disney’s Animal Kingdom:

The Animation Experience at Conservation Station shows how Disney Artists bring favorite characters to life by using animals for inspiration, and for the Earth Day Celebration and the month of April, you can learn to draw characters – including Dumbo, Terk, Squirt, Shere Khan, Simba and Scar – whose real-life counterparts represent amazing stories of conservation work around the globe.
Catch a glimpse of some special characters who will join other favorite Disney pals on Discovery River Character Cruises.
Nosh around the park sampling Earth Day eats, including a selection of limited-time specialty cupcakes: the Creature Comfort’s Honey Bee Cupcake, the strawberry-flavored Flamingo Cupcake at Flame Tree Barbecue, or the Sea Turtle Graham Cracker Cupcake (plus the Crave the Wave cocktail!) at Restaurantosaurus Lounge. Be sure to dig in as the treats are only available for a limited time.
Set out on a series of self-guided, nature-themed challenges and earn a special Wilderness Explorer limited-time Earth Day Nature badge.
Hunt for an Earth Day 2021 limited-edition Te Fiti Moana trading pin. You can also support the Disney Conservation Fund by purchasing a cuddly plush inspired by species that call Disney’s Animal Kingdom home; or check out Island Mercantile’s eco-friendly water bottles, tumblers, and reusable bags that promote sustainability.

Earth Month 2021 Disney's Animal Kingdom Rhino

Any time you visit the park, marvel at unique animals and meet the newest arrivals. Most recently, the park welcomed the birth of Ranger, and you can get a glimpse of the rambunctious five-month-old white rhino calf and his crash on your journey aboard Kilimanjaro Safaris. While on safari, also keep an eye out for two young Masai giraffe who were born a few months ago, and playful Nigerian dwarf goats that hang out at the warden’s outpost.

Disney PhotoPass Service captures magical memories with special in-park Earth Day backgrounds and Magic Shots, including an all-new photo opportunity. In addition, Earth Day screen savers and Zoom backgrounds can be downloaded from the My Disney Experience PhotoPass gallery.

Spring Break 2021 Tips

You can hear me every week on the Obie & Ashley UNFILTERED podcast!

Spring Break is almost here, and it is going to be an incredibly busy season for the theme parks of Central Florida.

To help you navigate the parks, here are a few Spring Break tips by park!

Spring Break 2021 Tips

Walt Disney World

The Walt Disney World theme parks are all sold out for Resort and ticket holders, but some Annual Passholder availability has flickered in and out so be sure to check the Park Pass Reservation page often.
If you do have a ticket and are looking to park hop after 2pm, keep this number handy (407) 560-5000! This number will inform you if a park is at capacity and not accepting park hoppers.
Please do yourself a favor and don’t show up to ‘talk your way in’. The capacity is what it is, and if you do not have a reservation you will be turned away.
Disney Springs will also be EXTREMELY busy!!!! Also be aware that if you have a dining reservation, you are not guaranteed entry into Disney Springs.

Universal Orlando Resort

The Universal Orlando Resort does not take reservations for Universal Studios Florida or Universal Islands of Adventure, so these parks will absolutely cap out with capacity early in the day due to the amazing ticket and hotel deals they have right now.
The Universal Social Media Team is GREAT at posting about park hours, tips, and when the parks reach capacity & are letting guests in again. So make sure you follow @universalorl on Twitter
If you do get into the parks, bring a lot of patience!!! The lines will be long, so make sure to be kind & social distance.

SeaWorld Orlando

All guests with existing tickets, Fun Cards, or Annual Passes must make a reservation using this system in advance in order to manage park capacity and maintain physical distancing
Again, these parks will be SUPER busy so bring your patience and be prepared for those long lines.

“The World’s Most Magical Celebration” begins Oct. 1 on the 50^th anniversary of Walt Disney World.

City Works Disney Springs West Side Walt Disney World — Photo: City Works

Nearly one year ago on February 6th, City Works Eatery and Pour House opened its doors as Disney Springs’ premier sports restaurant and bar.

It’s perfect timing for City Works to celebrate its first anniversary by providing locals and tourists with the ultimate Super Bowl viewing experience on February 7th.

Guests can enjoy City Works’ 17 HDTVs, state-of-the-art audio, and one enormous 168-inch video wall – many of which will feature the big game, so every seat is the best seat in the house. Combined with City Works’ more than 90 beers on tap and made-from-scratch menu of American classics with a twist, there is no better place to watch.

Guests will receive one free raffle ticket each for a $50 City Works gift card when they arrive, and the winner will be chosen at halftime.
