Just in time for Earth Day 2024 on Monday, April 22, 2024, Lady DiVine has bloomed with hundreds of colorful flowers.
***
Normally, Lady DiVine wears green leaves and grape clusters.
Hands down, one of the coolest characters at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is Lady DiVine.
When Caroline was working at DAK, she would see her on most days around lunchtime, slowly walking on the pathway between Discovery Island and Africa.
She’s painted a deep green, walks on very long stilts, and is wrapped in leaves, ivy, and grape clusters to camouflage herself into the rest of the park’s tropical foliage.
Lady DiVine walks on stilts so her height can vary between 7 feet to 16 feet depending on what she is doing with her arms and legs, sort of like a Praying Mantis.
Lady DiVine doesn’t make eye contact while she is hidden in the park’s foliage. In fact, she often keeps her eyes closed and the expression on her face looks like she is enjoying pure nirvana (aka ‘communing with nature’). Like all plants, she doesn’t ever speak, but she’s a great listener. 🙂
She doesn’t sign autographs (take a look at her hands in the video below), but loves to pose for photos and have her beauty appreciated by all.
Totally awesome video of Lady DiVine in motion: Lady DiVine Walking at DAK
Hands down, we think she’s one of the coolest characters at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
We hope she never leaves! (Yes, that was a pun!)
Note: Lady DiVine has a cast member character handler with her at all times now after some guests got too close and grabbed at her leaves and tried to topple her!!! Can you imagine kids wanting to make her fall???!!! Guests can be bad, bad, bad! 😦
Some more images in her regular, non-flower look:

We’ve written two books about our time working – and playing – as Disney Cast Members at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
Both are available on Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle: Two Girls and a Mouse Tale and Adventures in the Animal Kingdom.
