Earth Day is in 3 days, April 22nd. And of course Animal Kingdom isn't going to miss out! This year's Party for the Planet celebration is going to feature education on nature and wildlife conservation, including guests' own backyards. To celebrate the new movie "Bears," from Disneynature, there will also be educational activities on the Alaskan brown bear.
At the park's entrance, guests can grab some special postcards and look at backyard-habitat displays. Then they can head down to Rafiki's Planet Watch (as mentioned in another post, my favorite ride!) and play fun games, such as a supermarket shopping game that teaches how what you buy can affect nature and wildlife. There are suggestions for what to do in nature; there are also cast members that work on conservation projects all over the world, and they're ready and willing to talk all about it.
