It’s the most wonderful time of the year in the most magical place on Earth and we’re having a BLAST spotting all of the holiday entertainment!
Animal Kingdom Entrance
Christmas looks pretty different this year in Disney World, but at least there are some good things to come of the situation. For one, we’re spotting Christmas Character Cavalcades in all four parks — including Animal Kingdom!
We were strolling around Discovery Island in Animal Kingdom when we spotted a surprising cast of characters floating through the river! Since the reopening, Animal Kingdom has had Character Cruises, and now they’ve got a holiday twist!
Discovery Island Drummers
As you can see, the Discovery Island Drummers are still sailing by but their boat has new Christmas decorations!

Animal Kingdom’s garlands are super unique to match the more worldly themes of the park.
