Welcome!

Welcome!

There is a TON of seasonal fun going on as we officially enter the Holiday Season, so get ready to join us and see it all!

Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is all sorts of FESTIVE, as the beloved park Christmas Tree is up for the season! And it’s just as magnificent as ever, presiding over the entrance to the park.

At locations around the park, the Pluto Christmas Popcorn Bucket is holding court as just about the most adorable popcorn bucket ever. We found this one at Mahindi Popcorn and Snack Stand.
