This holiday season, Discovery Island will spring to life with a Merry Menagerie of winter animals realized in the form of life-size, artisan-sculpted puppets. Animals include reindeer, foxes, polar bears, penguins, and more! In the past the Merry Menagerie at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park takes place at random times throughout the day.

A Merry Menagerie

When you visit Disney’s Animal Kingdom this holiday season, you’ll find festive entertainment and holiday décor in every land. It all begins on Discovery Island, where you’ll be surrounded by a celebration of winter. The village will be filled with sparkling white holiday decorations and colorful, animal-inspired luminaries, and throughout the day, the area will spring to life with a Merry Menagerie of winter animals, accompanied by serenading musicians as they create a playful atmosphere of festive fun. 


The team at Disney Parks Live Entertainment realized this collection of reindeer, foxes, polar bears, penguins and more in the form of life-size, artisan-sculpted puppets, each designed and hand-crafted using natural materials and fabrics. The animals were then brought to life through a variety of theatrical techniques that will allow them and their performers to interact directly with guests like never before.
