2022 Holiday Season Decor Arrives at Animal Kingdom With Installation of Luminaries & Lanterns

We want you to get the most out of your ‘luxury villa’ stay in Solterra, Davenport (near Championsgate and just south of the Disney World Resort area). To help out, we have sourced the following blog post to keep you up to date with news from Walt Disney World Resort. Thanks to the guys over at Blog Mickey for the original post...

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, even if 85° doesn’t exactly feel like Christmas. Seasonal decor has been installed around Discovery Island in the form of animal-shaped luminaries and bird lanterns as Animal Kingdom prepares for the holiday season. We stopped by Disney’s Animal Kingdom today to take a look at the installation!

Highlights of the holiday at Animal Kingdom include:

  • Merry Menagerie – Delight in winter wonders as Discovery Island springs to life with artisan-sculpted puppets of arctic animals—like penguins, reindeer, foxes and polar bears.
  • Santa Claus Festive Flotilla – See Santa Claus as he sails down the Discovery River to a jolly, world-beat holiday soundtrack.
  • Discovery Island Drummers Festive Flotilla – Feel the beat as a colorful group of percussionists cruise along the Discovery River, entertaining Guests like you on the shore. 

Plus, be sure to check out holiday-themed décor and Tree of Life Awakenings – Holiday Edition, where our beloved tree shimmers and sparkles each evening, accompanied by a heartwarming musical score.
