More AK Character and Entertainment Changes

Last week we learned that Animal Kingdom would be losing its meet-n-greet opportunities with Jiminy Cricket and Pocahontas at Rafiki's Planet Watch. In addition, we've learned that Turk (from Tarzan) and Lilo & Stitch will also be leaving AK.



On a positive note, the characters from UP will be heading to AK for meet-n-greets. No specifics on which characters or where exactly in the Park they'll be, but it's good to hear there will be new characters to fill the void left by so many departing characters.

Finally, on the entertainment front, AK will be scrapping the morning "The Adventure Begins" welcome show as well as the closing "Adventurers Celebration Gathering" show. One can only speculate that these many changes are in some way related to the upcoming Avatar Land planned for Animal Kingdom.
