Put on your snazziest explorer hat and practice your best wildlife calls — Disney’s Animal Kingdom is celebrating its 25th Anniversary (and Earth Day). We’ve been enjoying allllllll the Earth Day festivities, including a new Moana character meet and greet and a new popcorn bucket.

We’re having a BLAST at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Now, we’re back to talk about an April 22nd, 2023-EXCLUSIVE!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is offering free commemorative park maps for the 25th Anniversary celebration. The cover features a stunning Tree of Life icon with a nod to the 25th anniversary carved into the tree trunk — brilliant!

Whoever designed the 25th Anniversary logo deserves a BIG high-five!
Inside, the map lists some special character experiences located around the park, including a Moana meet and greet and other rare character appearances!

Look at all the special events happening for Earth Day!
Our guide map also shows off a preview of the exclusive merchandise available for the anniversary; we spy a spirit jersey! Guests can find specialty merchandise at Island Mercantile, Discovery Trading Company, and Mombasa Marketplace.

Here’s a closer look at what’s inside our park map
This new park map is definitely going into our stash of unique Disney collectibles. Does anyone else hoard park maps, Mickey stickers, and celebration pins after every trip to Disney World?

This is a keeper!
Happy Anniversary to Disney’s Animal Kingdom! In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.
