Cuteness alert! Walt Disney World Resort has welcomed the birth of more than 300 new babies in 2023, including zebra foals, cotton-top tamarin twins, yellow-backed duiker at Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail, and more. It’s been a busy year at Walt Disney World Resort, as The Most Magical Place on Earth has welcomed the birth of more than 300 animal residents. The range of births is tremendously diverse, from aquatic animals like cuttlefish and an eagle ray pup at The Seas with Nemo & Friends at EPCOT, to terrestrial mammals, including an aardvark and red river hog piglet, to more than 150 birds. The additions help keep these animal populations healthy and ensure their survival. Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment cast members and animal care experts continue to bring people and nature together through joyful experiences every day as they celebrate the births of these endangered animals through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan, and foster the animals’ successful on-stage debuts. Here are just a few of the new additions guests might see when they visit Walt Disney World. Zebra foals join Kilimanjaro Safaris Two Hartmann’s mountain zebra foals recently debuted at Kilimanjaro Safaris in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Born just six days apart, Cricket and Dot can be seen prancing around the savanna with their parents. Guests who look closely might notice that each foal has unique stripe patterns but may also distinguish the newcomers by preference and personality: Cricket loves the water and can often be seen splashing in puddles, while Dot frolics among the prairie grass, exhibiting her energy with “zoomies” as she quickly gallops around the savanna. Cotton-top tamarin twins on Discovery Island An adorable set of cotton-top tamarin twins were born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in June, and they have been a favorite of park guests since they were one-day old. These tiny twins are currently just bigger than the palm of a hand and beginning to explore their Discovery Island habitat without the help of their mom and dad. This playful pair love chasing each other through the trees and are amazingly acrobatic. Yellow-backed duiker makes debut at Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail As mothers across the U.S. spent the summer readying their children for school, some for the first time, a yellow-backed duiker mom named Pearl was preparing her daughter for a big milestone at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. After bonding for a few months with her mom backstage, yellow-backed duiker baby Penny, born in the spring, recently made her on-stage debut. Yellow-backed duikers are an extremely shy and reclusive forest-dwelling antelope, but Penny and Pearl may be seen by guests who look closely as they visit Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail presented by Off! Repellants. Cinderella pony at Tri-Circle-D Ranch Elsewhere at Walt Disney World, another baby animal made her grand entrance into the world. Pixie the Shetland pony foal was born in July at Tri-Circle-D Ranch at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. While she is the third Shetland pony born at the ranch this year, joining pals Sprout and Finn, Pixie is the first Cinderella pony, owing to her white coat. The new foal has already taken her first steps in training to one day join the Cinderella carriage team with her mom Lady and sister Lilly.

Beep beep! You can once again catch a parking trams between Disney’s Hollywood Studios and the parking lot. Parking trams are finally back at Disney's Hollywood Studios after a three and a half year absence. Walt Disney Wold had already announced that parking trams were to resume operations at both Hollywood Studios and EPCOT this month, but did not give a specific date. Now today, Wednesday, September 20, the trams are up and running, Now we are only waiting on the return of the parking trams to EPCOT, at which point it will be the first time since that parking lot trams have operated in all Walt Disney World theme parks since 2020. All parking lot trams were stopped in March 2020, when all four Walt Disney World Resort theme parks temporarily closed due to the worldwide COVID- 19 pandemic. When the theme parks resumed operations in July 2020, all parking lot tram services remained suspended due to physical distancing restrictions that were put into effect at the resort. As physical distancing rules were relaxed, and operations slowly returned to normal at the resort, Walt Disney World did not resume parking tram operations within any of the theme parks. Even as mask requirements were dropped for all Disney Transportation options, Disney cited health and safety concerns for not resuming operations on the parking trams. Eventually in the face of criticism from guests who were having to walk to their vehicles in theme park parking lots, often enduring long walks in extreme heat, Disney eventually announced that parking trams would return to the theme park in December 2021, with service resuming at all other parks in 2022. It was on December 19, 2021 that parking trams were returned to service at Magic Kingdom, and it was a further 5 months before parking trams resumed operations at Disney's Animal Kingdom on May 27, 2022. The remainder of 2022 came and went, with no parking trams in sight at either EPCOT or Disney's Hollywood Studios, and only now, three years later we will once again have parking lot tram service at all four Walt Disney World theme parks.

The black bear that went on a vacation to Walt Disney World causing half the magic Kingdom to close has been safely released into the wilds of Ocala National Forest. On Monday, September 18, a large area of Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World failed to open with the rest of the theme park as a black bear was spotted by cast members shortly before park opening. Adventureland, Liberty Square, and Frontierland were all closed until early afternoon, with Cast Members sectioning off the huge section of the park from the public. The bear had reportedly made itself comfortable in a tree located near Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Frontierland. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) were called, with officers safely capturing the adult, female bear in a backstage area of Magic Kingdom near the Rivers of America. Today, FWC shared a video of the bear being safely released within the Ocala National Forest in Marion County, about 90 minutes north of Walt Disney World.
