A Wild Decade, a WDWCelebrations Commemorative Event
Celebratingthe 10th Anniversary of Disney's Animal Kingdom® Park
April 22, 2008
Our first Commemorative Event under the WDWCelebrations banner, “A Wild Decade,” celebrated the 10th Anniversary of Disney's Animal Kingdom® Park, on April 22, 2008. Building on the success of Celebration 25, over 400 people registered for “A Wild Decade” to join us on this fantastic day. A huge thanks to all of our Sponsors and Partners for helping to make this day a success!
Special events included a rededication ceremony with renowned primatologist Jane Goodall, a talk by legendary Imagineer Joe Rohde, our ever-popular History Walk which began with a warm welcome from Val Bunting, the Vice President of Disney's Animal Kingdom® Park, a group meal with reserved space at Flame Tree Barbeque, and our donation presentation to the Dream Team Project which benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of America. In addition, the schedule included group experiences of Finding Nemo The Musical, Expedition Everest, and Dinosaur (which to the delight of all had some serious issues during our ride!).
Many thanks to Brian Sikorski for allowing us to share his group photo, shown below, which can be downloaded directly.
