Holiday Flotillas
The holiday flotillas have also returned to Animal Kingdom! These are the boats that run through the canals of the park and cart around characters.
During the holidays, we’ve got some more festive characters to see, like Pluto in his red and green scarf!
We also saw Scrooge McDuck.
He’s having a grand ol’ time.
There is also a fun band that rides around!
And finally, SANTA CLAUS!
Yep, Santa is riding around on a boat in Animal Kingdom.
A bit different than a sleigh, but we’re loving it!
Stay tuned for more Disney World holiday news and updates!
