PHOTOS: Festive Animal Luminaries Return to Disney’s Animal Kingdom for 2024 Holiday Season

In northern states, the changing colors of leafs signal the transition between seasons. Here in Central Florida, we track the installation of holiday decor in the theme parks. Out of all of the seasons, there is perhaps none more magical at Walt Disney World than the holiday season. An extra glow is added to the parks after sunset, and while the crowds can get a bit crazy, there’s a festive buzz in the air for nearly two months.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is continuing preparations for the 2024 Holiday Season with the installation of beautiful animal luminaries on the rooftops of the Discovery Island shops in front of the Tree of Life. Back in 2019, Disney introduced an updated slate of holiday decor and entertainment that has earned it a well-deserved stop on your Holiday Season vacation.

Holiday Decor Installed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

While visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom this morning, we paused for a moment to snap some photos of the animal luminaries as their overnight glow was starting to fade as the sun broke through. Here’s a look around!

As always, keep checking back with us here at BlogMickey.com as we continue to bring you the latest news, photos, and info from around the Disney Parks!
