Every week I gather the latest news from Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, and other Disney parks to help you keep up with all of the changes. Here is the most recent Disney news for the week of Feb. 11 -Feb. 17, 2019:
1. Kevin From ‘UP’ Arrived At Animal Kingdom
In early January, Disney announced that Kevin from Up would soon be arriving at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Well, good news — she’s finally here! Kevin officially made her debut on Feb. 11 (check out the video below courtesy of goldenmagical). She’s not available for your typical character meet and greet, but rather a free-roaming character. In some further great Kevin news, an adorable Kevin plush will be available for purchase at select Animal Kingdom merchandise locations, like Island Mercantile and Discovery Trading Co.!
