Guide to Character Experiences at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park

Your clients' favorite characters are ready for adventure at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park!

Here are insider tips for how they can find rare characters and experiences exclusive to Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park!

How to Find Characters in the My Disney Experience App

Characters are easy to locate with the My Disney Experience app!

Just Follow These Simple Steps:

Click on the map pin at the bottom of the screen.
Swipe left at the top of the screen and choose Characters.
Click on Locations to select the desired theme park.
Find characters on the map or choose Show List at the bottom right.
By clicking on a character, guests can view the location and times the selected character will appear throughout the day.

Disney Character Experiences Exclusive to Animal Kingdom Theme Park

The Lion King Characters are Ready to Greet Guests at the Oasis

Guests might run into a wise mandrill or a certain meerkat who loves to hula. Rafiki is ready to show guests the way, and when he takes a break for his meditations, Timon steps in to keep the fun going. Guests might even be able to convince him to do a dance! Both characters begin greeting guests about an hour after park opening most days and rotate every 30 minutes.

Pocahontas is Just Around the Riverbend in the Oasis

For one the most unique character greetings at Walt Disney World Resort, head to the right when entering the Oasis. Just before the bridge to Discovery Island, guests will find Pocahontas in a beautiful, natural setting that feels perfect for her adventurous spirit.

Zootopia Characters are on Duty on Discovery Island

Officers Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are on the case! Hop on over to The Gathering Spot near the Tree of Life just outside Zootopia: Better Zoogether!

It turns out Zootopia’s busiest crime-fighting duo are also some of the most popular characters at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Guests will want to make sure they plan ahead for a visit with them. Since this is a popular meet and greet, allow some extra time.

Up Characters are Out for Adventure on Discovery Island

While your client is out on an adventure on the Discovery Trails, they might find Russell exploring the trails. His surprise visits don’t always appear in the My Disney Experience app, which means guests will have to be a true Wilderness Explorer to find him.

This is one of the hidden gems, so be on the lookout! For the best chance, enter the Discovery Trails to the left of the Tree of Life just before the bridge to Africa. Guests will also never know when they might see Kevin or Dug roaming around Discovery Island. Kevin’s vibrant colors are hard to miss and be sure to tell your clients to ask Dug if he’s seen any squirrels. With his special voice box, he just might talk to your client.

Ready, Set, Play! Join Bluey and Bingo at Animal Kingdom

While this isn’t a traditional character greeting, it is a one-of-a-kind play experience with Bluey and Bingo at Conservation Station. Hop on the Wildlife Express at Harambe Station near the exit to Kilimanjaro Safaris. Guests can dance with Bluey and Bingo and play games like Magic Asparagus, Keepy Uppy, and the Octopus Game.

Disney Characters with Unique Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park Outfits

Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park is the only place your client will be able to see Mickey Mouse and his pals dressed for adventure. Guests can start their day with Donald Duck and Daisy Duck who are dressed for a safari on the Oasis.

After entering the park, guests can head to the right toward Garden Gate Gifts to find them. Guests should be sure to stop by and say hello to Mickey and Minnie who are also donning khakis and their safari hats. Guests will find them at Adventurers Outpost near the bridge to Asia.

As your client makes their way further into the park, they can turn right after they enter Asia and be on the lookout for Goofy and Pluto. If your client loves character photos, they won’t want to miss these unique safari outfits starring Mickey and all of his adventurous pals.

The Walt Disney Animation Studios lot in Burbank, California, is a place of pure magic – artists go in… beloved characters and films come out. Now, imagine exploring that campus and seeing Disney Animation characters leap off the screen and into our world.

Disney Animation artists and Walt Disney Imagineers are working hand-in-hand to bring the wonder and nostalgia of Disney Animation films to The Magic of Disney Animation in new and immersive ways families will love.

Set Sail with Moana Across Disney Parks and Beyond

Pushing far beyond the horizon, Moana’s inspirational story continues to resonate with Disney fans around the world. Across Disney Parks, her presence has grown through live entertainment, relatable character encounters, immersive environments, and more, appearing in new ways since the original Walt Disney Animation Studios film debuted in 2016.

Now, with Disney’s Moana hitting theaters on July 10, fans are certainly eager to find out where to find Moana, Maui, Heihei, and friends across Disney Parks. There’s so much more beyond the reef – let’s take a look at how guests can plan their next Moana-themed vacation across Disney Parks and beyond.

Moana Experiences at Walt Disney World

For those drawn to the ocean, passionate about live entertainment at Disney World, or are hoping to meet the wayfinding leader of Motunui up close, they'll find plenty to explore throughout the resort. From a one-of-a-kind, self-guided trail at EPCOT to upcoming learn-to-draw classes at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Moana’s world comes to life across Disney World.

Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana: Based on Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Moana, pass through a self-guided outdoor exploration trail and explore the wonders of water. Here, enjoy magical encounters and explore this whimsical, watery world (there are two paths for discovery: one dry path and one path) with key elements from the film. Be sure to watch Catherine Laga’aia, who stars as Moana in Disney’s live-action film, experience Journey of Water, inspired by Moana.
The Magic of Disney Animation (Coming Soon): Opening later this year at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, guests may be able to learn how to sketch Moana during “Olaf Draws!” with lessons being taught by story artist Samantha Vilfort.
Meet Moana Across Walt Disney World: Search for the voyager from Motunui throughout Disney World, where she may meet with guests at select times:
Meet Moana in World Nature at EPCOT
Meet Moana at Character Landing at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
“Fantasmic!”: Look for Moana and other Disney characters during this extravagant, open-air nighttime musical at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
“Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away”: At Magic Kingdom, witness a shimmering, nighttime processional inspired by the classic Main Street Electrical Parade, featuring characters from Moana, Peter Pan, Frozen, and more.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort: Stay right in the heart of the magic with Moana-inspired hotel rooms and exclusive amenities, like a kid-friendly splash pad area at the Island Tower with life-sized sculptures of Moana and her iconic canoe. After checking in, be sure to stop by the second floor of the Grand Ceremonial House to discover an oceanic outpost filled with playful merch and Moana-themed souvenirs.
New Food and Beverage: Guests can also enjoy a lineup of limited-time treats inspired by the spirit of Moana, including:
Motunui Ube Sundae: Ube soft-serve with tropical fruits, coconut, raspberry crumbs, and macadamia (Disney’s Animal Kingdom – Anandapur Ice Cream Truck)
Heihei Delight: A tropical blend of pineapple and coconut topped with a pineapple slice and SKITTLES POP’d Original Freeze Dried Candy (EPCOT – The Land Cart)

Moana Experiences on Disney Cruise Line

Chart a course with Moana across the Disney Cruise Line fleet, where her story takes shape through live entertainment and onboard experiences across ships. Discover just how far you’ll go on board Disney Cruise Line with these inspiring Moana-themed experiences.

“Disney The Tale of Moana”: On the Disney Treasure, watch the ocean come to life and choose Moana to restore the heart of Te Fiti in this adventurous Broadway-style stage show. This production explores Moana’s journey through vibrant dance and songs in a mix of languages, including Tuvaluan, Tokelauan, and Samoan.
“Moana: Call of the Sea”: An inspiring live show at Wayfinder Bay on the Disney Adventure, join Moana in a show-stopping musical adventure. Space is limited during performances of this show, so be sure to arrive early to secure your seat.
“Disney Seas the Adventure”: On the first night aboard the Disney Adventure, Disney Destiny, Disney Treasure, and Disney Wish, navigate the seas with a stage show alongside some favorite Disney and Pixar friends. In an original arrangement exclusive to this show, heroines Elsa, Moana, and Merida perform a powerful medley, emboldening Goofy to go into the unknown.
Gramma Tala’s Kitchen: On the Disney Adventure, enjoy a warm, inviting eatery surrounded by vibrant South Pacific-style art, backgrounds, and decor.
Heihei Café: Explore a casual, themed café inspired by Heihei, offering a playful Moana-adjacent dining experience on the Disney Treasure.
Character Appearances: Set sail with Moana during select character greetings across the Disney Cruise Line fleet and celebrate the spirit of courage, discovery, and wayfinding.

Moana Experiences at Aulani

At Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, Moana’s story is reflected in experiences that draw from culture and traditions of the Hawaiian Islands. Across this tropical, relaxing resort, guests can meet Moana and take part in interactive activities.

Moana Character Greeting: Say aloha to Moana at Aulani and hear all about her incredible adventures alongside Maui. Check the Daily ‘Iwa or Aulani App for times and locations.
Wayfinding with Moana: Guests ages 4-12 can embark on a journey with Moana at Aunty’s Beach House, stepping into the spirit of Polynesian voyaging as Moana shares the sacred art of wayfinding in this premium experience. Wayfinders can also design and craft a miniature double hauled canoe, inspired by the traditional Hawaiian wa‘a (additional fees may apply).
