Christmas Floatilla at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Santa Arrives on the Christmas Floatilla at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Here comes Santa Clause right down Rivers of America lane? The Holidays returned to Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, and that means Merry Menagerie, Tree of Life Awakenings – Holiday Edition, and more. We were over at the Park this morning and got to get the first look at Santa on his Flotilla.

Experience the magic of nature with a holiday twist. Be sure to swing by Discovery River to wave hello to some of your favorite Disney Characters aboard decked-out flotillas during the 50th Anniversary celebration of Walt Disney World Resort.
