While Animal Kingdom is the place to see real animals (yes, even giraffes and elephants!!), you can also experience incredible puppetry in the park.
Kevin in Animal Kingdom
From Kevin wandering around to greet guests to the fish in Finding Nemo the Musical, the puppets at Animal Kingdom have the ability to create happiness for thousands of guests each year. And, now guests visiting during the holiday season will get to watch new puppets bring joy to the (Disney) World!
Merry Menagerie is coming to Discovery Island this winter with icy, white decorations and animal-inspired lights, along with the other holiday décor around the parks! To accompany this new Winter Wonderland, brand-new sculpted puppets will do their best to melt the hearts of visitors from everywhere.
