The Tree and Holiday Decorations Are Up at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Our MickeyBlogger’s Greg and Elyssa are at Disney’s Animal Kingdom this evening and the park has transformed into a winter wonderland in under a week!
We heard that the grand tree was up at the entrance to the park and rushed over to take a look as its one of our favorites!
Not only is this towering tree lush and green but it also features some of the coolest Christmas ornaments you’ll find at Disney World.
Look closely and you’ll see lots of items done in an African folk art style and others representing some of the animal friends you’ll find at the theme park..
The animal masks are my favorites.
If you look closely you’ll see a giraffe and zebra mask.
There’s also a male and female lion hidden among the branches!
Isn’t he absolutely stunning!?
For those visiting the theme park, be sure to take some time and pose for a holiday photo in front of the Christmas tree!
Above is a look at some of the mosaic ornaments.
If you look closely at the base of the tree, you’ll also see some very special presents!
We see some of our favorite Disney friends including Eeyore, Piglet, Kanga, Tigger and more hidden among the colorful gift boxes.
You can also see building blocks featuring characters from The Lion King.
And here’s a beach ball with an image of Terk from Tarzan. Oh and look at the alligator xylophone. Is it too late to add that to my Christmas list!?
Though the tree looks beautiful now set against the blue skies and puffy clouds, wait until you see it at night.
There is something so magical about seeing it all lit up in the evenings!
Next we make our way to the main entrance of the theme park which has also been given a holiday makeover.
We love this garland with its combination of greenery and gold baubles.
The entrance decorations also feature dried flowers keeping that natural aesthetic of the theme parks. Also, check out the floating mountains of Pandora in the background.
I absolutely love this rustic look of this décor.
If you look closely you’ll even see some animal masks hidden amongst the greenery in the garlands as well!
There’s also beautiful wreaths at the entrance featuring an array of rustic and tropical flowers and a lovely textured peach ribbons.
A few days ago, we shared images with you of some of the incredible decorations going up on Discovery Island!
There’s been even more since the last time we were there!
Look at the beautiful garland at Island Mercantile.
We love all of those beautiful silver stars!
Riverside Depot has been decorated similarly but with snowflakes instead of Stars.
Here’s a look at the way that these details are carried out even on the backs and corners of these buildings.
We love this big, lush matching wreath adorned with springs of holly and holly berries!
This entrance is an absolute vision of hanging vines, pinecones and pops of golden shimmers!
Here’s a closer look at the red ornaments and dangling lights.
This display is giving me definite holiday decorating goals!
Even the lamp posts are wonderfully made over like this one featuring a nesting bird!
The two owls above the roof at the Depot are positively adorable.
We love the way that they are snuggled into one another while above, a wreath has been added to the clock.
This is just a quick overview of some of the incredible decorations you’ll find at Animal Kingdom this holiday season. We’ll be visiting the park again soon and will share even more of these awesome details with you. But trust us when we say that there’s nothing like seeing them in person!
