The number of Animal Kingdom characters available for meet and greets is less than you will find in other Disney Parks, but they still feature a few unique opportunities. In addition to the fab 5 you can also find some characters that are more animal related. The one thing you won't find much of here? Princesses.

While Disney's Animal Kingdom is focused on nature and conservation, you can still find certain "Wilderness" or "Adventure" princesses there in 2026. The most prominent is Moana, who has a dedicated meeting spot at Character Landing on Discovery Island. Additionally, Pocahontas is a frequent guest at the park, often seen waving to guests from "flotillas" (boats) that travel along the Discovery River, though she occasionally has traditional meet-and-greet sessions near the entrance or on Discovery Island. You will not find the traditional "Ballroom" princesses like Cinderella or Belle here, as they are themed to the Magic Kingdom or EPCOT. Animal Kingdom’s princess presence is specifically curated to include characters whose stories align with the park’s themes of exploration, environment, and respect for the natural world, making it a unique place to meet these specific heroic figures.
