One could argue that Walt Disney World doesn't really need any help selling itself. Disney is a brand that's recognized all over the world. Overall, Disney Parks has an established presence on Facebook and Twitter, letting guests know the latest happenings at not only Walt Disney World but Disneyland as well.
However, there's always room for improvement and we at Disney's Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World want to build a larger Facebook and Twitter following for Animal Kingdom.
We will do this through engaging our loyal visitors, asking them to share photos and memories from their visits to the park. We will draw potential followers in by informing them of all of the attractions and animals the park has to offer.
Here is a proposed schedule of our posts for the month of December:
Sunday, December 1
