How to celebrate the Holidays at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
As a seasoned gamer who’s been to more Disney parks than I can count (and that’s saying something!), let me tell you, this year’s holiday celebrations at Animal Kingdom are not to be missed!
Spending holidays at Walt Disney World is highly recommended, particularly because many people associate it with Magic Kingdom due to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. However, in recent times, Disney has also introduced Jingle Bell, Holliday Nights as an additional ticketed event, offering another festive option for holiday enthusiasts.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is sometimes overlooked, but it’s actually an ideal time to visit during December due to the pleasant weather. This mild climate tends to make the animals more active, which enhances the experience of the Kilimanjaro Safaris.
This holiday season, I’m thrilled to share that Disney has cooked up even more joyful ways to celebrate! Scroll down to explore the delightful activities Disney has lined up for Animal Kingdom Park!
Meet Santa Claus as Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Previously, Kris Kingle would wave to visitors while traveling along the waterways during the festive parades. However, this year, you have the opportunity for a personal encounter with him!
The 75th Annual Dino Institute Party is happening on the patio at Restaurantosaurus, providing a lively setting for your encounter with Santa Claus. From November 12 to November 24, you’ll have the opportunity to meet him during regular daytime hours.
Meet Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in festive attire
Besides Santa Claus, you’ll also get the chance to encounter Disney’s beloved figures, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, adorned in their holiday best. You can interact with them and take pictures during a special meet-and-greet event at Adventurers Outpost.
Additionally, the Tree of Life Awakenings will feature animated winter animal spirits for memorable photo sessions.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom isn’t usually associated with holiday celebrations, but it’s refreshing to observe that it’s now receiving some recognition. Although it doesn’t yet match up to Magic Kingdom or Hollywood Studios in terms of scale, it offers a convenient and hassle-free opportunity to snap a quick picture with Santa, as well as Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
While many people dream about encountering Santa in the Magic Kingdom, I managed to meet him swiftly at Hollywood Studios last year, and the setup was simply fantastic! If given the opportunity, I wouldn’t hesitate to try it out at Animal Kingdom as well.
