Russell From ‘Up’ Appears on New Adventure Flotilla at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

With the return of Donald and friends to Donald’s Dino-Bash! at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the flotillas on Discovery River are changing. The Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto flotilla and the Pocahontas flotilla remain, while a new “Adventure Flotilla” has launched. There are two versions of the “Adventure Flotilla,” the first featuring Launchpad McQuack and Scrooge McDuck, while the second is supposed to feature Russell and Dug from “Up.”

It seems Dug got distracted by a squirrel because he was missing from the flotilla this morning.

Wilderness Explorer banners now hang from the sides of the boat.

Russell was helping Cast Members steer thanks to a large wheel at the front of the boat.

Hopefully, Dug will take his place on the flotilla soon.
