April 22nd is an important day! Not only is it Earth Day, but in Walt Disney World we’ll celebrate Disney’s Animal Kingdom and its 20th Anniversary. There’s much to celebrate and Disney is doing it in a big way with multiple events celebrating the anniversary. You can’t have a good party without good food, though. Let’s take a look at all the Earth Day treats being offered to celebrate Earth Day and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Earth day isn’t being celebrated at Animal Kingdom only; Walt Disney World Resort is celebrating it throughout the parks! Detailed on Disney Parks Blog, there will be new cupcakes, burgers, sliders, and a limited time lunch offered at Tiffins!
