Kevin Coming Back to Animal Kingdom

Starting next week, you’ll once again be able to enjoy and interact with the greatest walk-around character at Walt Disney World.
In this post, we’ll share details about the return of Kevin the Bird from Up, which is underrated and underhyped–just like so many things at Animal Kingdom.

This is just one of many memorable random ‘scenes’ with Kevin that we wandered into during the character’s one-year initial run.
With Avatar 2 hitting theaters on December 16, 2022 (barring another multi-year delay), now is the perfect time for this giant walking mech suit to once again roam around Pandora.
