The Good Times Gathering Spot is a place where everyone can come and sit and listen to stories, relax and have fun with their friends. From forest critters, woodland pals and native people, the Good Times Gathering Spot welcomes everyone into it’s enclosed setting, and invites you to learn and discover with friends old and new.

Mickey’s Jammin’ Jungle Parade features popular Disney Characters, elaborate animal puppets, stiltwalkers, drummers, safari vehicles, and nearly 60 Cast Members. This magnificent menagerie winds through the streets of Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park in the afternoon.

The second video in Banks Lee’s ‘Tribute’ series takes a look at life on the wild side at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Several new mothers are celebrating Mother’s Day at Walt Disney World a bit differently than the typical vacationing guest. For starters, they aren’t on vacation. They live at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. And they won’t be having Sunday dinner in any of the popular Disney restaurants. But despite the things these mothers do differently – because they are an elephant, a monkey and a vulture – one thing is the same: the strong mother/baby bond as the new babies learn about their environment. Animal Operations Director, Matt Hohne, introduces the babies including Tsavo the African elephant, Zahra the Colobus monkey and two Ruppell’s Griffon Vulture chicks.
