Character Spotlight: Jane from ‘Tarzan’ at Disney World

Jane Porter from Tarzan is an exceptionally rare character to find at Walt Disney World. She is the only child of Professor Archimedes Q. Porter. Jane went on an expedition with her father to Africa in search of gorillas. They intended to study them in their natural habitats. Upon arrival, Jane met Tarzan, who lived among the gorillas.

Below, we’ve shared a few photos of Jane. It is important to note that she does not have a traditional character meet-and-greet at Walt Disney World. However, we have occasionally found her at a few special events. We hope you enjoy this character spotlight and find it helpful in finding information about a favorite character!
