You never know who you’re going to run into in Disney World!

Maybe it’ll be a princess, a member of the Dark Side, or even a true, real-life celebrity! But sometimes that unexpected encounter is with something a bit more…wild! 🐊
During a recent trip to Magic Kingdom, we spotted a little gator swimming in the Rivers of America while we were on the Liberty Belle Riverboat! Look at this little friend go! Excuse me, little gator, did you pay for a ticket?!
WELCOME TO FLORIDA 🐊

It’s not totally uncommon to see gators in Florida, so just make sure you’re aware of all of your surroundings while in the Sunshine State.

Of course, gators aren’t the only wild animals we’ve seen in the parks (and no, we’re not talking about Kilimanjaro Safaris!). There are all kinds of wild birds in the parks, and we’ve also ran into snakes…

…bees…


Of course, Disney works to ensure that all guests remain safe, which often means coming to inspect bees’ nests, moving snakes into safe places, or taking other measures to make sure that guests can enjoy the Most Magical Place on Earth safely.
Still, it’s important to remember that wild animals (even though there’s generally small ones) can make their way into the parks. Don’t feed the wild animals and if you ever encounter one, you can find the nearest Cast Member and ask them for assistance (a.k.a. don’t try to relocate a wild animal on your own!).

Make sure you’re staying safe while in Disney World, and stay tuned to AllEars for more updates!
