Next week, guests visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom and The Seas with Nemo & Friends at Epcot can get a closer look at two amazing worlds—the world of pollinators and the world beneath the sea—during special celebrations.
Butterflies, bees and other pollinators are the focus during the Pollinator Day celebration on June 6 at Rafiki’s Planet Watch in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Do you like chocolate? Well, chocolate and about 1,000 other plants grown for food, beverages, fibers, spices and medicines depend on pollinators to grow. Activities on Pollinator Day include the opportunity to see two different types of bees and to learn how to create a pollinator garden.
Every day guests marvel at the wonders of the oceans when they visit The Seas with Nemo & Friends. During the World Oceans Day celebration on June 8, there will be even more to see and do – discover the adaptations sharks use to survive; learn the important role marine mammals, like manatees and dolphins; play in the ocean ecosystem; find out what Disney researchers are doing to protect coral reefs; and travel along with a sea turtle hatchling on its journey from its nest to the ocean.
