Disney World is a weird and wonderful place with all kinds of opportunities to create fun memories.
Getting to hug Mickey Mouse in real life? Check. Watching Tinker Bell fly overhead after watching Happily Ever After for the first time? Check. Seeing the cutest baby tamarins cling to the back of their mother in Disney’s Animal Kingdom? Check. But sometimes, the best experiences in Disney World are the ones that involve Disney ducks.
Disney ducks are icons in the parks! Whether they are holding up a parade in Disneyland or taking a snooze in Magic Kingdom after a long day in the sun — we can’t get enough of them. Bonus if you catch a whole family with their little ducklings! In the spring in early summer, EPCOT is full of the little babes. Have you ever noticed they love to hang out in the ponds near the Imagination Pavilion?
We’ve seen these ducks take turns jumping off of the ledges and into the water in the cutest dives you’ve ever seen.
GUYS. Disney ducks are the cutest right? But have you seen them struggling to get around the ponds in EPCOT?

But occasionally, we’ve noticed that they will swim around the perimeter of these ponds, seemingly with no way to get out! Have you seen those tiny little wings? ? The walls of these ponds are not short!
Fortunately, Cast Members love these guys just as much as we do, and came up with the perfect solution — they’ve built little duckling ramps just for these cuties.
On one of our last trips to EPCOT, we got to see the ramp in action, and we can confirm our hearts melted at the sight. Take a look at these little duckings taking turns walking out of the water.

We confirmed with a cast member (who seemed just as excited as we were) that these ramps were in fact installed for the little birds.
So, next time you’re walking around these ponds, keep an ear out for little peeps — they’ll often lead you to the sight of these babes. In the meantime, stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news!
