Jane and Terk from ‘Tarzan’ Visit Disney’s Animal Kingdom for Earth Week

April 19, 2023February 12, 2026

Update: This meet-and-greet was for a limited time to celebrate Earth Day in 2023. Jane and Terk do not regularly meet in any of the parks. The continuing article is left for historical reference.

Jane and Terk from Disney’s animated film Tarzan are making character appearances exclusive to Earth Week at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Earlier this week, Tinker Bell and Fawn met at this exact location. The pair is expected to meet again today (April 19th) before another character potentially joins the rotation for Thursday and Friday. However, I want to stress that with all surprise character meets, they are not guaranteed.

Now for Jane and Terk! It was exciting to see this pair! We found them on the garden trail that weaves before the Tree of Life. This trail’s entrance is immediately on the right, past the Otter Grotto.

Jane Porter was wearing her bright yellow Victorian dress, which she wore when she first left England to visit Africa with her father. Terk, Tarzan’s best friend, joined her for this special meet-and-greet.

They were tons of fun!

Unfortunately, character autographs were not available at this meet, and a PhotoPass photographer wasn’t available. You may remember we saw the opposite at this location with the pixie fairies a few days ago.

But I think meeting such rare characters made up for some of the traditional absences.

Jane and Terk previously met alongside Tarzan at Magic Kingdom during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. That meet was formerly located near the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse and was exclusive to the party. For active character meet-and-greets, see our Disney World Characters Guide.
