Disney Character Dance Party

The party kicks off with a character reunion, all week long you'll find some rarely seen Disney Characters making cameo appearances in Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade at Disney's Animal Kingdom park.

You may even find such fan favorites as Lilo & Stitch, Flik & Princess Atta, Koda & Kenai, and Thumper & Miss Bunny as they march along, and then join them in Dinoland, USA for a dance party hosted by DJ Dino-Mite. Come ready to boogie!

"Dig Up" Something Delicious

Kids always have fun with Worms & Dirt, and they're even better in cupcake form! This cupcake topped with a teensy flower pot and gummy worms is on the menu at ABC Commissary, Pizza Planet, Backlot Express, Studio Catering Co. and Starring Rolls Cafe at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Kusafari Coffee Shop and Bakery and the espresso and coffee cart at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

If your looking for something a little more decadence, the Worms & Dirt Tart is rich chocolate topped with a smiling strawberry, fresh raspberries, and chocolate cookie "dirt" crumbs. This rich treat can be found at Tony's Town Square and Liberty Tree Tavern in Magic Kingdom Park, Kringla Bakeri Og Cafe and Sunshine Seasons at Epcot, and Capt. Cook's at Disney's Polynesian Resort.

It sounds to me that Disney's got a rockin' Party for the Planet planned that will keep guests celebrating all year long! What are you most looking forward to?
