PHOTOS, VIDEO: Kevin from UP Walk-Around Character Reduced to Stationary, Distanced Greetings for Return to Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Last week, we reported how Kevin, the giant walk-around character, from Disney Pixar’s “Up” would be making her return to Disney’s Animal Kingdom today. Well, she has indeed returned today, but not like we hoped.

We’re used to seeing Kevin roam around Discovery Island interacting with guests. But today, she has returned as a stationary, distanced meet-and-greet.

Although, the My Disney Experience app still lists Kevin as “Roaming on Discovery Island.”

You can find Kevin right before walking in to DinoLand U.S.A.

  1. These distant “sightings” are getting real lame. Bring back meet and greets in full! Guests are playing full price for the real thing, it’s time, Disney, to provide it!
