Holiday Decorations Arrive at Animal Kingdom for 2022

Animal Kingdom is about to become an even more magical place. The holiday decorations have started arriving and we can hardly wait to see them completed!

Animal Luminaries

The animal luminaries have appeared atop the buildings and shops around the Tree of Life. They look beautiful even during the day as the sun lights them from behind.

Owls, squirrels, deer, birds, and foxes give an enchanted fairytale feel to the area.

As the evening hour sets in, the luminaries come to life and take on a warm glow.

Crane Sculptures

Beautiful crane sculptures dot the surrounding landscape. These beautiful birds will soon be lit with the same warm glow as the luminaries.

DinoLand is Getting Ready

As we enter DinoLand U.S.A. we see the giant dino over the Donald’s Dino-Bash sign also getting ready to celebrate the holidays! He is all decked out in Christmas lights and is just awaiting his merry beard and Santa hat.

Soon Dino-Land will be all decked out with its giant snowmen and Christmas trees.

Holiday Tree of Life Awaking Show

One of the most breathtaking things to see is the holiday overlay on the Tree of Life for the Tree of Life Awakenings show. These shows project beautiful images of the animals in winter scenes and are only shown once the park has grown dark. There are various different shows and if you have the time it’s worth staying to watch the full set cycle through.

Much More Still to Come to Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom’s holiday decor is not complete yet. The main tree at the entrance of the park has not been put up just yet, and many more decorations are still on the way.

I am really looking forward to the return of the Merry Menagerie puppets. Puppeteers interact with guests as they bring polar bears, foxes, and penguins to life. I love watching how kids and adults just light up at the interaction.

Santa’s Flotilla has been confirmed to be returning this year as well.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing the parks come alive with all the holiday decor. In fact, I have such a hard time choosing my favorite park during this time of year!
