But at least some of the goosebumps were due to the stars of the Disney Channel movie High School Musical who explored Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park. Fans also spotted R&B group B5 (who appear on the #1 hit High School Musical soundtrack album) as they got in on the Expedition Everest excitement. “You have to get on this,” said Dustin Breeding, eldest brother of Kelly, Patrick, Carnell and Bryan. “There’s a surprise on there that you won’t forget, my friend!”

Aly and AJ’s Everest adventures “It’s amazing,” said Hollywood Records pop star Aly. “You go up this huge hill and then you stop. “Expedition Everest is an absolute, thrilling experience. Then you go backwards in the dark!” It’s really crazy!” - Patrick of the pop group

“And the Yeti—he rips up the track and the whole B5 car shakes,” her sister AJ continued. “It’s so cool! You’ve got to get here and check it out!”

Celebrating conservation Disney also saluted the Disney Conservation Wildlife Fund, which, with the help of Disney Guests, has raised and distributed more than $10 million to help 450 wildlife projects worldwide since the Disney’s Animal Kingdom opening in 1998.

This year, we’re very excited about a whimsical new candy factory float at the end. It features ruling over his own candy squad.” Laura also told us of new “treat trails” that let Guests trick-or-treat with Disney characters.
