Hi there Sarah,
Disney-Pixar's
UP is one movie that I could watch over and over without getting tired of it! It has become somewhat a family tradition to cuddle up and the couch on rainy days (and we get plenty of those here in Northern California) and follow the heroic yet heartwarming journey of Russell and Dug (
Squirrel!).
Since your last visit, there have been a few changes at Walt Disney World... OK, well actually LOTS of changes, and I am pleased to report that you can now meet with Russell and Dug near the It's Tough to be a Bug attraction in Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. I am not sure of the exact date of your trip, but be sure to check a Times Guide when you arrive to double check the schedule and location and just to be sure the meet and greet is still being offered at the time of your visit!
And if you happen to make it out to my coast and Disneyland, we have an entire area themed to the
Up! movie!
The Redwood Creek Challenge Trail area provides hours of fun for the Wilderness Exlplorer in your family! Navigate the forested paths and use clues to earn your very own Wilderness Explorer Badge! There's even a special ceremony for those who have completed the necessary tasks and a certain WIlderness Explorer and his cuddly pal just might be present to do the honors!
Best Wishes,
Amanda F.
