Costumes and Treats for Creatures of All Kinds

Whether you are throwing a virtual costume party or getting ready for a round of Halloween games at home, the humans in your family aren’t the only ones who can get creative. From large dogs to small breeds, transform your canine companion into your favorite Disney characters.

Fans of Star Wars: The Mandalorian can enjoy harnessing the mystical energies of the Force and dressing their pup as The Child, complete with a plush frog. Your favorite four-legged friend can join the fun as Frozen’s beloved snowman, Olaf, including a headpiece and 3D twig arms.

Longtime fans of classic Disney characters will love the signature Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse costumes, perfect for a pair of dogs who would look adorable sporting a second set of (Mickey) ears. Don’t forget to snap a picture of your furry friends all dressed-up, and feature them in this downloadable coloring activity frame. Take some modeling inspo from this behind-the-scenes photoshoot with Bob Barker, a National Geographic Kids Magazine cover story.

If you’re looking for more dog-focused fun, tune-in to “Frankenweenie” on Disney+ to watch Tim Burton’s comic twist on a classic tale.

New Episode of Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom’ Shows Animal Care in Action

Have you had a chance to see the first episode of “Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom” on Disney+? “I hope so, because Episode 2 is now streaming and is chock-full of animal adventures, ranging from providing post-natal care to stingray Darby and her pup Hilo at The Seas with Nemo & Friends at EPCOT, to a surprise birthday party for Gino, a silverback gorilla at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.

What I really appreciate about this episode is how it shows the special bonds our animal care team has with the animals in our care. Our keepers know each individual animal’s name, can tell you all about their favorite foods, and quickly share endless stories about their quirks and habits. They nurture these precious relationships by observing, feeding and training more than 300 species while providing round-the-clock care to ensure the animals’ health, as well as backstage and onstage environments, are in tip-top shape. 

Gino, a silverback gorilla at Disney's Animal Kingdom

The connections they make are crucial to establish the trust needed to have these animals participate in their own healthcare. 

I don’t want to give any spoilers for this new episode, but I think you’re going to be truly amazed by breathtaking examples of the team’s labor of love. One of my favorite parts of this episode is watching our primate team throw a birthday party for Gino, the beloved silverback western lowland gorilla from our family troop. I think this party was just as much fun for them as it was for the birthday boy. Here’s a sneak peek:

Hungry for more? Take a deep dive into the world of caring for aquatic animals with this week’s family-friendly activity page, available now through Disney Conservation. And you can find even more behind-the-scenes content from our animal keepers when you follow @drmarkatdisney on Instagram and @DisneyASE on Facebook.
