Surprise, New Characters Arrive at Animal Kingdom
We were NOT expecting to see these two today! You don't to miss this fun, new meet and greet.
Rare Disney Characters
Walt Disney World has been "upping" its character game lately, and we LOVE it! Most recently, Disney's Hollywood Studios brought ultra-rare characters to the Parks.
Disney guests attending Destination D23 were invited to Kuztopia at Typhoon Lagoon on August 30, 2025. Guests could dance and groove with Kuzco, Yzma, and Kronk.
runDisney brings out great character interactions. See all of the great characters Heather met recently at the Wine & Dine runDisney event.
Nick Wilde & Judy Hopps
Back in October, we shared that the Wilderness Explorers Clubhouse closed with construction walls surrounding it. Guests can still meet Dug and Russell; they are a bit harder to find.
Disney shared earlier that guests would be able to meet Judy and Nick from Zootopia at Discovery Island near the Tree of Life at the Zoogether Day Gathering Spot.
They will be sporting brand new looks from the new Zootopia 2.
New Meet and Greet
The best part is that Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps are greeting guests NOW at this new meet and greet location. Originally, this meet and greet was planned for Friday, November 7, 2025.

This is an extra magical surprise for all guests, including Walt Disney World Annual Passholders attending "Zootopia Better Zoogether" previews today.
