Tree of Life Awakenings Will Return to Animal Kingdom on October 1st

We’ve got some exciting news for those paying a visit to Animal Kingdom next month.  Disney has just updated the schedule for two spectacular Tree of Life events that will be making their return at the beginning of next month – The first is Tree of Life Awakenings!

Above is a look at disneyworld.com and as you can see, there is a 7:45 pm Tree of Life Awakenings list!

For those unfamiliar, this is a mesmerizing nighttime experience that will leave you in awe.  The scene starts with flickering fireflies which magically appear to bring the animal spirits carved into the tree to life!  What follows is a dazzling visual display with state-of-the-art animated imagery and stunning colors!

The stunning display at the Tree of Life is also part of Disney’s Beacons of Magic celebration.  In honor of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, the major icons at each of the four theme parks are transformed into a celebratory display that captures the magic of a Disney visit! 

It should be noted that Animal Kingdom closes the earliest of all the Disney theme parks with the 7:45 Awakenings taking place just before close.  With that in mind, give yourselves some extra time to check it out before leaving the park.  Its sure to be the cherry on top of an incredible Disney day!
