Earth Day 2006
at Animal Kingdom. Lots of characters out and about, including Disney's "conservation mascot," Jiminy Cricket, making a rare appearance (both at the front of the park and Conservation Station!). Most activities were held at Rafiki's Planet Watch — there were ladybug and butterfly releases, kids' crafts and hands-on displays. Other performers, Pipa, the talking recycle bin, and Guitar-Dan included environmental messages in their shows.

At the Magic Kingdom, at the Swan Boat Dock, they had a few displays on creative ways to recycle things — like making Christmas ornaments out of old Disney pins. We released some lady bugs on the rose bushes, and
Jiminy Cricket was on hand from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for photos. |
