Today, Disney announced a new show featuring Russell and Dug from “Up” is heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom next year.

Revealed as part of 12 Days of Disney Parks Christmas, the show arrives in spring 2018 in time for the 20th anniversary of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The new experience offers guests the chance to see Senior Wilderness Explorer Russell and his furry friend Dug as they discover species of birds from around the world. Taking place at Caravan Theater in Anandapur village, the show features up-close encounters with winged creatures every day.

In order to prepare for this new experience, Flights of Wonder will close on December 31, 2017.
