Awakening the Tree of Life for the Holidays at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

This holiday season, Guests visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park will find festive new entertainment and holiday décor in every land.

At the heart of the park on Discovery Island, the Tree of Life awakens with a series of wintry tales, each told in a unique artistic style and complemented by a familiar and heartwarming holiday-inspired musical score. The Disney Parks Live Entertainment team has been working for months to bring this experience to life. Recently, they got their first glimpse of how these new moments will look on the iconic tree.

These winter “awakenings” are still very much a work in progress, as the team moves toward the November 8 debut when the Tree of Life will come alive with the magic of nature and the spirit of the holidays.

Disney's Animal Kingdom is Heating Up Summer Nights Starting this Weekend!

Beginning this Memorial Day weekend, Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park at Walt Disney World® Resort comes alive with an incredible array of evening entertainment.  The theme park will be a whole new nighttime experience with live performers in the African village of Harambe along with the all-new show “The Jungle Book: Alive with Magic”.

Here’s some more details about the new offerings coming at night at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Discovery Island Carnivale will have a vivacious group of musicians and performers hosting a festive celebration of nature, spreading from one end of the island to the other with lively music and dance, vibrant costumes, delectable food and drinks, and more!  This exuberant gathering begins as a procession leading to the Discovery Island stage and continues well after dark with a joyous party featuring the Viba Gaia band and a spirited group of islanders.

Throughout the evening, the Discovery Island Sunset Serenatas, another of the island’s musicians, entertains Guests with a virtuoso performance on the Paraguayan harp.

And, like a beacon, the Tree of Life will draws Guests to the heart of Discovery Island. Watch in wonder as animal spirits within the tree come alive in mesmerizing color and light.

Harambe Village in Africa is a popular destination throughout the day.  At night it becomes a true hot spot with sunset on Kilimanjaro Safaris and the evening Harambe Wildlife Parti, a time for wild animals to roam the open savanna and for party animals to take to the streets!

This safari after-party fills Harambe with the sights and sounds of outstanding local street musicians and entertainers, inviting you to join them in dance and song, partake in exotic foods and libations and explore the diverse wares of village artisans and merchants.

Beginning in late afternoon, the popular Burudika Band takes the stage in Harambe’s Old Square as hosts of the Wildlife Parti, performing original songs and Afro pop hits from across Africa. As your Clients explore the town, street musicians and performers seem to be around every corner!

With music, dance and an ever-changing landscape of things to see and do, the Harambe Wildlife Parti offers the excitement of an African village filled with non-stop, wildly fun surprises and delights!
