‘Tis the season and Disney’s Animal Kingdom is putting their own special flare on Christmas character “meet and greets” this year with Festive Flotillas! Guests visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be able to find some of their favorite Disney characters floating along the Discovery River this holiday season, decked out in their most festive costumes.

Here’s a look at the various Festive Flotillas, which run periodically throughout the day. We watched them from the former Rivers of Light amphitheater, but you’ll be able to watch them all along the Discovery River which runs from Pandora to Africa to Asia and back – so keep your eyes peeled! Here’s our video followed by photos of all of the floats.

Donald’s Dino Bash

Characters that would typically be found at Donald’s Dino Bash can be seen floating along the Discovery River. Two different sets of characters can be seen – Donald, Daisy, and Launchpad or Chip, Dale, and Pluto.

Discovery Island Drummers

This high-energy flotilla will be heard before it is seen! The Drummers put a holiday spin on their songs, bringing cheer to Animal Kingdom.

Mickey and Friends

Mickey Mouse is joined by Minnie and Pluto for the holiday season, showing that Christmas is a time for families.

Santa’s Floating Sleigh

Santa is taking a more laid back approach to delivering presents this year – opting for a water-bound sleigh at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Pocahontas and Lion King

In addition to the Festive Flotillas, there are two more flotillas that aren’t themed to the holiday season – Pocahontas and Lion King. Here are a few photos of those floats.
