Guests visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World will soon have a new character experience to look forward to. Disney has shared the first look at the Zoogether Day Gathering Spot, a themed meet-and-greet area inspired by the world of Zootopia. This new location will offer guests the opportunity to interact with Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps, the spirited duo from the hit Disney animated film, in a vibrant setting that celebrates friendship, community, and everyday heroism.
The Zoogether Day Gathering Spot is inspired by the lively, upbeat community spirit of Zootopia. The area is designed to feel warm and celebratory, featuring colorful banners, playful signage, and décor that nods to the various neighborhoods seen in the movie. The location is meant to reflect the idea of animals of all kinds coexisting and working together – the heart of the film’s message.
Nick and Judy, who have become fan favorites since the debut of Zootopia in 2016, will greet guests in their outfits from the upcoming Zootopia 2, set to hit theaters on November 20, 2025. Judy arrives in her optimistic police uniform, full of energy and enthusiasm, while Nick appears in his casual but charismatic attire. Both are known for bringing plenty of personality to the interaction, and this new setting provides an ideal backdrop for fun meet-and-greet moments and memorable vacation photos.
This new character location is part of the growing Zootopia presence at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, which also includes the upcoming “Zootopia: Better Zoogether” show, set to debut on Friday, November 7th, inside the Tree of Life Theater. Together, these additions bring more storytelling and whimsy to the park, giving guests new ways to step into the world of the film.
Disney has not specified whether the Zoogether Day Gathering Spot will be seasonal or ongoing. Still, we think it may quickly become one of the park’s most popular meet-and-greet locations, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that it will be a permanent fixture. Guests planning trips in the coming months may want to build extra time into their visit, as Nick and Judy are expected to draw plenty of enthusiastic fans.
