Christmas Time At Disney World is the most magical of times. This year Christmas at the Animal Kingdom brings even more magic. For the first time in its two-decade history, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be offering new festive entertainment and holiday decor in every land beginning November 8, 2019.
Christmas At Animal Kingdom Lands
Discovery Island
New entertainment this Christmas season at Discovery Island.
Soon as you cross the bridge to Discovery Island you’ll be welcomed by an all-new celebration. There will be white Christmas decorations throughout the village. Rooftop luminaries of vibrant colored animals will be found everywhere. Multi-colored birds will be throughout the area as shimmering lanterns at nighttime. Bringing a warm festive holiday glow to the area.
As the sun sets, at the center of Animal Kingdom in Discover Island, The Tree of Life awakens with a series of winter tales along with some of your favorite Christmas songs. The Tree of Life will shimmer and sparkle all through the night.
During the day winter animals gather with serenading musicians right alongside. From polar bears to penguins and more you will find these life-size artisan puppets interacting with everyone.
