We are so excited that one of our Walt Disney World holiday favorites is returning to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.
As a part of this year’s holiday entertainment, Discovery Island will spring to life once again with a Merry Menagerie of winter animals, realized in the form of life-size sculpted puppets. Reindeer, foxes, polar bears, penguins, and more interaction with guests, accompanied by serenading musicians as they create a cute display and playful atmosphere for guests. We absolutely love this holiday entertainment and are glad it will be returning this year.
Also at Animal Kingdom, you may spot Goofy, Chip ‘n’ Dale, and other Disney characters celebrating the season on the Discovery River, as they jingle through the jungle to the rhythm of the holidays.
Also on nights, the park is open after dark the Tree of Life special seasonal Awakenings moments on top of the Tree of Life joining; the Beacons of Magic in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort, as magical fireflies gather to produce a warm and glorious light for the celebration.
And be sure to be on the lookout for Santa voyaging across the Discovery River, spreading the spirit of the season from a festive flotilla.
Are you excited about the return of the Merry Menagerie?
