It’s an exciting time to be at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! In preparation for Earth Day, Disney has been surprising guests with some RARE character sightings around the park. Last year, we met Gypsy from A Bug’s Life and Kenai and Koda from Brother Bear!
Happy Earth Day from Animal Kingdom!
We can hardly wait any longer to see who makes an appearance this year, so let’s take a look!
This year, Tinker Bell and Fawn flew to Animal Kingdom to meet some guests!
Look who we spotted in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! It’s Tinker Bell and Fawn!

We had a fun time chatting about lost things and Tink’s latest tinkering project.
Look at these cuties!
Tink and Fawn even had a message for our readers! Now we’ve met Tink in Disney World before, but it’s pretty rare to see her with her friend Fawn!
Tink and Fawn say hello! We hope we can fly together soon, too! pic.twitter.com/kaSQgS8vzH

We also managed to spot DiVine — complete with a floral makeover for Earth Day! Typically, DiVine is totally camouflaged, but the flowers really made her POP!
DiVine is STUNNING
Those flowers are PREFECT for spring, don’t you think? We spotted DiVine with these flowers around Earth Day in 2022 as well.
Spring has sprung in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! DiVine is covered with flowers today!

Later, Baloo and King Louie stopped by to join the festivities!
Here come Baloo and King Louie! And it looks like Baloo had an itch to scratch before he started meeting guests

We had so much fun watching these guys goof around. Luckily, after a bit of teasing each other, they managed to pose for a cute little photo!
A HILARIOUS pair!
It’s so fun to find rare characters in Disney World. You never know who you might run into in the parks and resorts!
These two are hilarious to watch interact! Who’s in favor of having them out more frequently?
