It’s The More, The Merrier over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
We first spotted decorations in DinoLand, U.S.A., Discovery Island, and then we found the brand new holiday lanterns! There’s so much to look forward to this season with new holiday enhancements!
Today, we spotted even more decor in Africa, Pandora, and DinoLand U.S.A., just ahead of tomorrow’s official launch of their Holiday Celebrations!
Let’s first stop in Pandora, where their decor could be described as subtle, at best! You’ll notice a garland strung around the land that features small lanterns and candy canes.
Pongu Pongu is looking merry & bright with their own garland.
Just look at all of it!

The entrance to Na’vi River Journey features garland that has Direhorses, candy canes, trees, and more.
We love the detailing on the Direhorse!
We next head to DinoLand, U.S.A. where we found a ton of new decor at Restaurantosaurus, Donald’s Dino-Bash!, and more.
Look at this adorable sleigh that landed on the roof of Restaurantosaurus!
We also found gorgeous multi-colored garland.
..and this beautiful wreath!
There’s even aviation-themed decor in the Launchpad McQuack meet and greet area!
Look at the detailing on the globe ornaments!
Donald’s Dino-Bash got a major upgrade with this extra festive wreath.
Play some carnival-style games with Goofy in front of this sparkling tree!
Next up, we trek to Africa for a pit stop (and drinks) at Dawa Bar. They’ve gotten into the spirit with Festive Garland.
This is a very detailed garland!
Garland seems to be the theme in Africa!
…and here at the Pin Station.
…and here at Zuri’s Sweets Shop.
We also found this intricate wreath featuring our favorite felines.
…and this one featuring a recycled tire!
We will WRAP UP this holiday tour of Animal Kingdom with one of the most unique items we found today…a wreath made from recycled bottle caps!
We’re loving these new holiday additions and can’t wait to watch them come to life tomorrow night!
