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!
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!
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.
Dino Chip & Dale are cruising along with Goofy in their own festive flotilla too!
Hi, guys!
Who knew dino-chipmunks could be so festive?
We love seeing these cuties ready for the holidays! pic.twitter.com/1ciXpCd1Vp

Mickey and Minnie are still in their safari wear but their float has some pretty garland!
And Donald and Daisy are taking Uncle Scrooge McDuck out for a trip too!
Scrooge always gives us the Christmas feels!
And finally, we spotted the BIG GUY himself! Take a look!
It’s SANTA!
