Christmas at Disney’s Animal Kingdom®

Jolly jingle will fill the jungle as Disney's Animal Kingdom® is spiritedly transformed for the holiday season. A luminous 65-foot tree sparkling at the park's entrance sets the stage as the holiday season goes on safari.

In fact, the daily “Mickey’s Jammin’ Jungle Parade” gets a holiday makeover when it is magically transformed into “Mickey’s Jingle Jungle Parade.” This rompin’ spectacle is a theatrical showcase of characters with whimsical floats and puppetry with a holiday world-beat twist.

Guests also can meet Disney characters decked out in their holiday best at Camp Minnie-Mickey which also features live seasonal entertainment, holiday photo opportunities and decorative Christmas trees.
