This will include special merchandise, yummy snacks, a unique Animation Experience, and even a new Wilderness Explorer activity. Let’s check out all of these great experiences.

Animation Experience

For the month of April Guests can enjoy a unique experience when visiting the Animation Experience located at Rafiki’s Planet Watch. My family absolutely loves this experience. Check out out our review HERE.  

The characters featured for the month of April will include: Dumbo, Terk, Squirt, Shere Khan, Simba, and even Scar. What is so great about the Animation Experience is that you not only learn to draw these great characters, but you are also able to learn a bit more about these real life animals.

Snacks

Disney snacks are almost too pretty to eat and that is definitely the case for the 2 cupcakes that will be offered in celebration of Earth Day. Creature Comforts will offer this adorable Honey Bee Cupcake.

At Flame Tree Barbecue, Guests can enjoy a strawberry-flavored Flamingo cupcake. That sounds absolutely AMAZING. Want something a bit more aquatic? Check out the Sea Turtle Graham Cracker Cupcake at the Restaurantosaurus Lounge. While visiting here, you may also want to try the Crave the Wave cocktail.

We may need to sample each of these cupcakes just to offer an unbiased review. They all sound so good!
