If you haven’t been to Disney World in a while, buckle up! The resort may look different when you visit next.

Just this year, we’ve seen new attractions launch into action, upgraded technology take over, huuuuuge returns, and other exciting changes. And the pace doesn’t seem to be slowing down, as we’re noticing new changes around the resort almost every single week. So, let’s hop over to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to check out the latest changes to the park!
Let’s start off with a new character flotilla! We caught the Adventure Flotilla, which had Russel from Up! He waved at guests as he floated by on the Discovery River. There is also a new Adventure Flotilla that features Launchpad McQuack and Scrooge McDuck from DuckTales.

Now, over to Dinoland U.S.A. to experience some newly-returned meet and greets!

Donald’s back and celebrating his Dino-Bash! We saw him in his dino costume, and yes — he’s ready to show off his best poses.

Speaking of poses, we saw the posing Queen — Daisy! She’s such an icon in her adorable dino outfit.

We also met Chip ‘n’ Dale in their Chipmunk-O-Saurus costumes!

They were causing some chaos while we visited them, but we wouldn’t expect any less from this adorable duo.
