The excitement just keeps going for Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Recently we reported that Chip ‘n’ Dale, Donald, and Daisy were returning to Dinoland USA. With the news though came the news that Scrooge McDuck and Launchpad would not be returning. At least not yet.
Today we’ve learned that while they wont be doing meet and greets (for now) they WILL have their very own flotilla! These water parades began in 2020 right after the parks reopened as a way to have a character presence on the parks from a distance. They are great fun with music and a festive atmosphere. Best of all, they are completely random making them a special treat!
The new flotilla is the Adventure Flotilla and will include beloved characters that have become synonymous with Animal Kingdom:
Russell and Dug from Disney from Pixar’s “UP”, Scrooge Mcduck and Launchpad McQuack!
The new floating adventure begins TOMORROW September 4, 2022 so be sure to keep your eyes peeled! We just hope Launchpad isn’t steering the boat!

The new flotilla joins several other fun flotillas including:
- Goofy and Pals Set Sail. Leaving their posts at Donald’s Dino Bash, Goofy and his Pals cruise down the Discovery River.
- Discovery River Character Cruise. Catch a glimpse of Characters from Disney’s Pocahontas or Disney’s The Lion King as they float along the Discovery River.
- Discovery Island Drummers Flotilla The Discovery Island Drummers take their music to the water, performing live as they sail around the Discovery River.
- Mickey and Friends Flotilla. Ready for a brand-new adventure, Mickey and his friends set sail on the Discovery River.
