11. It’s Tough to Be a Bug
This interactive 3D and special effects show takes place at the base of the Tree of Life in the Tree of Life Repertory Theater. It’s hosted by Flik the ant from Disney/PIXAR’s A Bug’s Life. It was the first attraction at Disney World to open to the public before the theatrical release of the film that inspired it—six months before! As Guests walk into the theater, they are asked to put on a pair of 3D glasses, and they are further asked not to “sting, buzz or pollenate.” Yes, Guests are invited to become bugs and see the world through the eyes of insects for the duration of the show. The presentation is a clever way of showing Guests how bugs of different kinds use survival techniques to stay alive on planet Earth. Hold your nose because that stink bug really stinks, and you might even be sprayed by a bug or two! You’ll leave with a better understanding of the life of a bug and how very tough it is to be one! FastPass+ service is available but usually not necessary, especially if you enjoy the attraction later in the day.
