Every year, coinciding with the Food and WIne Festival at EPCOT, Disney invites some wonderful musical acts from the 70's, 80's and 90's to perform for you for FREE with your park ticket admission!  You simply come in, enjoy the park, and enjoy your show, with our without snacks in hand!

WIlderness Explorers at Animal Kingdom


Does your inner boy scout love to explore? Did you LOVE the movie "Up"? Well now YOU can be a WIlderness Explorer, just like Russell! Discover the nature all around Animal Kingdom, as your "Troop Leaders" (aka Cast Members) assist you in taking on challenges and activities around the park.  
Like Russell, you can earn badges for tracking animals, learning animal communication methods, or learning about African culture, exploring dinosaur fossils, or even recycling!
Becoming a Wilderness Explorer is a Walk in the Park
Earn all of your "badges" as you head through the park this fall. (And moms who like to keep moments, let me just say you have a FABULOUS scrapbooking opportunity.) ;-)
