You don’t have to be at Disney’s Animal Kingdom to celebrate Earth Month! April is Earth Month, which of course is a big deal for Disney. After all, Disney’s Animal Kingdom opened on Earth Day (April 22) in 1998! Last year we were gypped because Walt Disney World was closed all month. This year, you can celebrate through the My Disney Experience App and the Play Disney Parks App, you don’t have to be at Walt Disney World. Here’s all that you need to know from Disney Parks Blog.
