What to Expect at Zootopia: Better Zoogether! at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
I’m so excited to share the details about one of the newest additions coming to Walt Disney World — the Zootopia: Better Zoogether! attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. As someone who’s always on the lookout for what’s new at the parks, I couldn’t wait to dig into what this experience has in store.
When you make your way over to the Tree of Life Theater (home to past fan-favorites like “It’s Tough to be a Bug”), you’ll step right into the celebration of Zoogether Day. This is where the world of Zootopia comes alive on stage with familiar faces and brand-new friends. One of the standouts is Heidi Howler, a slick-talking wolf who hosts the Zoogether Day LIVE! broadcast with excitement, energy, and — of course — plenty of howling.
Of course, the stars of the show are none other than Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. Not only will they appear in the attraction itself, but you’ll also find them greeting guests over on Discovery Island at the Zoogether Day Gathering Spot. For me, that’s one of the coolest parts — the chance to meet these characters in person before or after seeing them in the show.
The Zoogether Day festivities highlight the different biomes of Zootopia in a way that only Disney could pull off. Guests will see:
An ice-skating spectacular straight from Tundratown
Synchronized swimming inspired by Marsh Market
Tiny mouse drone shows lighting up the skies over Little Rodentia
A grand musical finale from Gazelle herself
What makes this even more special is that the cast from the original Zootopia movie — including Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman — are returning to lend their voices. On top of that, Disney Animation filmmakers Jared Bush and Byron Howard worked hand-in-hand with Walt Disney Imagineering to create a seamless blend of film and theme park magic. That’s how you know this will be more than just another show — it’s truly going to immerse us in the city of Zootopia.
And if you’re a Disney fan like me, here’s a little extra magic: previews are expected later this fall for Cast Members, Annual Passholders, and Disney Vacation Club Members. I’ll be keeping a close eye on those announcements, because you can bet I’ll be there the second they open the doors.
This new 4D show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom feels like the perfect addition to a park that’s all about celebrating the natural world. Zootopia: Better Zoogether! not only brings beloved characters to life but also reminds us that our world, like Zootopia’s, is profoundly interconnected.
I know I’ll be heading straight for the Tree of Life Theater on my next visit to Animal Kingdom. Between the energy of the live show, the chance to meet Judy and Nick, and the incredible details Disney always delivers, this attraction sounds like it’s going to be a must-see in 2025.
So, are you ready to experience Zootopia: Better Zoogether! at Walt Disney World? I know I am — and I think it’s safe to say this is going to be one of the wildest new shows at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
