There have been a few performances already this week leading up it, but the new “UP! A Great Bird Adventure” officially debuts in Disney’s Animal Kingdom today for the 20th Anniversary celebration of Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

It replaces the Flights of Wonder show, as stars characters from the beloved Pixar Movie UP! Senior Wilderness Explorer Russell and his furry friend Dug. They are joined by senior Wilderness Explorer Anika as they discover bird species from around the world including the marabou stork with an impressive 10-foot wingspan. “UP! A Great Bird Adventure” lasts for 25 min and is a really fun time for the whole family.
For a sneak peak of “UP! A Great Bird Adventure” watch here:
I know many were upset over losing Flights of Wonder, and while I enjoyed that show, I have no problem with Disney introducing the UP! characters into some entertainment as I feel their presence was lacking in Walt Disney World. Let’s face it, Flights of Wonder wasn’t the most popular show to begin with and introducing lovable characters might get more people, especially young ones interested in a subject like birds.

My name is Ziggy and I love Disney, everything Disney! I grew up on Disney and it has and continues to be a huge part of my life. I started young when my parents took me to Disney World when I was 18 months old. Little did they know that would be the first of an uncountable number of trips we would take. I have so many amazing memories going to Disney with my family and friends and it has been interwoven into my DNA.
