Special characters, events coming to Animal Kingdom in April
Special characters will join other favorite Disney pals on the Disney River Character Cruises in April as part of a number of special limited events taking place Disney’s Animal Kingdom during Earth Month.
Kicking off on April 2, artisans will transform 40 tons of sand into a detailed sculpture celebrating National Geographic’s “Secrets of the Whales,” an original series streaming on Disney+ on Earth Day. The intricate sculpted work will be located on the Discovery Island Stage until April 30.

Here’s a look at what’s in store to spark your curiosity about wildlife and inspire your own conservation efforts:
