NEW Santa Claus Meet & Greet Coming to Animal Kingdom this Holiday Season!
We know everyone is in the spooky season mood right now, but the holidays are just around the corner!
Disney World has announced that their complete holiday season officially begins on November 12th, and we just found out what we can expect over at Animal Kingdom! Let’s take a look.
The Holidays at Animal Kingdom
Meet Santa Claus
Santa Claus is usually at Animal Kingdom for the holiday season, but in recent years, he’s just been sailing around the waterways during the holiday cavalcades. But, this year, you can actually MEET Santa Claus at the park!
Santa will be located at the 75th Annual Dino Institute Holiday Party happening on the patio at Restaurantosaurus. He is the guest of honor and has invited everyone to join him at this festive new location! The students and faculty of the Dino Institute will be celebrating the season from November 12th to December 24th this year.
Other Holiday Celebrations
We also learned about some returning festivities at the park! On Discovery Island, the Merry Menagerie will be back interacting with guests! These winter animal puppets are adorably enchanting.
Mickey and Minnie Mouse will also be wearing their festive outfits at their meet and greet location at Adventurers Outpost, so make sure to stop by for a picture!
There will also be some delicious holiday treats that Disney says will be revealed soon in a holiday Foodie Guide, and the seasonal Tree of Life Awakenings will be returning after dark to the park.
Stay tuned for more Disney World holiday news and updates!
