AK Passport

Is there a passport at Animal Kingdom and how does it work?

You mean like at EPCOT?

There is a new thing starting in June, Wilderness Explorers. It sounds a bit like the passport program they used to do at AK a few years back.

I thought I had heard it mentioned somewhere, but no details.

Google brings up links from the Disney Parks blog, allears and another site as well as a video.

AK only has 2 countries (continents) Asia and Africa no?

In November we were there and my kids did a passport like activity where they had to find different stations throughout the park, participate in the activity and get a stamp. There were stations in camp Minnie Mickey, Dinoland, Conservation Station, and I believe Asia and Africa (pretty sure there were 5). My kids were 7 and 8 and enjoyed doing it.

My understanding is there is a more extensive, but basically similar program being introduced related to the Wilderness Scouts from Up thing, but I don't know much about it yet.

I didn't think they even had that anymore. I stand corrected.

They've had an activity booklet with stamps for kids for awhile now (DS finally finished it in Feb after forgetting to bring his booklet back for a year or more), but this is different.


I sure hope it's better than at DCA, though; that program is pretty, um, well, yeah...once you've done it once, you've done it. And I know I kinda regretted the time we took to do it. We skip straight to Russell now (not sure if they'll have that at the end of the AK version).
