Take a timeshare vacation to Orlando where Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom is hosting a “Party for the Planet” in celebration of Earth Day 2012.
“Guests can find out what they can do to make their backyards wildlife-friendly and discover other ways to conserve wildlife and protect nature, including chimpanzees,” said a Disney spokesperson.
The party is started as guests enter the park, at two table displays in the main entrance area: one featuring wildlife-friendly backyard habitats and the other Disney’s new documentary “Chimpanzee.”
Activities in the park include:
1. Asia (Maharajah Jungle Trek)—Families can play a supermarket game and learn how their purchases can make a big difference for wildlife and wild places.
2. Africa (Pangani Forest Exploration Trail)—Children can observe and identify chimpanzee tracks and clues left behind along trails as they move through the forest.
3. Rafiki’s Planet Watch, courtyard—Outside Conservation Station, guests will discover fun ways to spend time in nature with their families and find “Chimpanzee”-related merchandise, as well as face painters and caricature artists.
4. Rafiki’s Planet Watch, inside Conservation Station—Families can visit the Chimpanzee Research Station and participate in a variety of activities based on real conservation work. Guests also can talk with cast members who work on conservation projects around the world and learn about the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund.
On the other side of the country, Earth Day at Disneyland will be celebrated as “Go Outside for Earth Day” at Downtown Disney. Bring your entire family to get outside and enjoy the benefits of nature with the following organizations, from 12 – 5 p.m. on Earth Day, April 22.
