Walt Disney World is gearing up for the 2025 holiday season, and they have released initial details for the Disney’s Animal Kingdom holiday season. Animal Kingdom is the most understated theme park for the holiday season, but what they do, they do well and completely in theme. Here’s a rundown of what guests can expect to find at Disney’s Animal Kingdom during the 2025 holiday season!
2025 Holiday Season at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Merry Menagerie Animal Puppets
For a truly enchanting holiday experience at Disney’s Animal Kingdom amidst beautiful holiday decor, artisan-sculpted puppets of Arctic animals come to life around Discovery Island during the Merry Menagerie. Kids and families alike can spot penguins, reindeer, foxes, and polar bears, setting up the perfect photo opportunity for your yearly holiday card.
Tree of Life Holiday Projection Show
A dazzling visual display full of bright colors and animated imagery, the “Tree of Life Awakenings Holiday Edition” lights up Animal Kingdom as the majestic centerpiece of the park comes to life on nights when the park is open after dark in Discovery Island.
Accompanied by a series of wintry tales and a heartwarming holiday-inspired musical score, this holiday evening experience is sure to delight and inspire your whole family tree. The show begins after dark each night and occurs approximately every 10 minutes until the park closes, so make sure to catch a quick peek before heading back to your hotel after a long day of fun.
Holiday Costumes for Characters
At Adventurers Outpost, meet and pose for a photo with world travelers Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse at their exploration headquarters, dressed in their best holiday outfits. The globetrotting couple is preparing for their next grand expedition, so make sure to snap a postcard-perfect picture to send to all your friends and family.
Other offerings that were not mentioned by Disney include the dressing up of DinoLand USA (unlikely) and the dressing up of a section of Pandora – The World of Avatar (likely). We’ll continue to add to this article as more holiday offerings are announced, so make sure to check back!
