2014 Families and Nature Events at the Walt Disney World Resort
Throughout 2014 the Disney Animal Program team has events planned at both Disney’s Animal Kingdom and The Seas with Nemo and Friends at Epcot.
According to Dr. Jackie Ogden, Vice President Animals, Science and Environment, Disney Parks, “The goal of each is to provide kids and families with a special opportunity to connect with nature, talk to our animal experts, and learn more about some of the fantastic creatures with whom we share our planet.”
Here is the schedule for 2014.
At Disney’s Animal Kingdom:
March 4: Spring Forward for Amphibians Day – Just a few days before we adjust our clocks forward for Daylight Savings Time, we’re “springing forward” to celebrate frogs, toads and other amphibians.
April 22: Party for the Planet in celebration of Earth Day – Every day is a Party for the Planet at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, as guests and cast members join together to celebrate the wonders of nature, but, on Earth Day, there will be even more natural magic.

June 10: Pollinator Day – butterflies, bees and other pollinators are the stars of this celebration.
July 29: Big Cat Day – It’s all about the largest cats, like lions and tigers – cats to whom you wouldn’t want to say, “here, kitty, kitty.”
