Animal Kingdom Construction Updates

On our most recent visit to Animal Kingdom, we noticed that the sand sculpture that had been located at the front of the park had been removed. It was put there for the release of the Disneynature documentary Polar Bear.

The ‘Polar Bear’ sand sculpture is gone!

There’s also a new Moana mural that has been put up in celebration of Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

A World of Voices

The mural shows Te Fiti and Moana and there is another mural that discusses “A World of Voices,” which is Disney’s theme for AANHPI Heritage Month.
