Halloween may have just happened a few days ago and Thanksgiving is around the corner, but it’s the beginning of November which (in Disney World) means the holiday season has begun!

Holiday Decorations

So hoop-de-doo and dickory dock, we’re making our way around Disney’s Animal Kingdom for a wild, festive adventure! We’ve already spotted some animal lanterns and beautiful decorations around the Discovery Island area, the holiday Starbucks mug, and TONS of adorable merchandise we’ve totally added to our Christmas list. Join us on this trip to Animal Kingdom to see what other festive fun we find that you won’t want to miss out on!

We’ll be updating this post LIVE all throughout the day, so make sure you come back for ALL the updates. You wouldn’t want to miss a critical holiday snack alert!

Entering Disney’s Animal Kingdom

We jingled our way into Animal Kingdom this morning beneath pretty garland. We can’t wait to see what treats and sights await us inside!

Holiday Decorations

Like we spotted at the entrance, intricate garlands are strung up around Discovery Island.

A major theme of Christmas in Animal Kingdom is paper lanterns, so that motif is represented in a lot of the decorations.
