Over the last few weeks, I've gone over holiday events at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Springs, and Disney resorts. This week I'm covering the last two parks--Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom.
At Hollywood Studios, the decorations are everywhere including Gertie the dinosaur wearing a Santa hat! Around Echo Lake, you'll find jumbo sized ornaments, garland, and a giant Christmas tree set in the middle of the water! Stick around through the evening, and you may have the opportunity to watch Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! and see Sunset Seasons Greetings.
Jingle
Bell, Jingle BAM!
This show full of holiday magic is projected on the Chinese theater. Based on the Christmas show Prep and Landing, the story line is that Santa is missing! Full of holiday hijinks, tag along with Wayne and Lanny as they rescue Santa and save Christmas. Lots of great projections and fireworks make this fun for everyone.
Nighttime Spectacular
Feel the warmth of holiday magic as the buildings and
rooftops transform and immerse you in scenes from Mickey’s Christmas Carol, Beauty and the Beast, Pluto’s Christmas Tree, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas and
more. It all builds to a festive finale that must be seen—and heard—to be
believed. It features traditional holiday tunes, projections, special effects,
fireworks and even a little snow!
Sunset
Seasons Greetings
When night falls
on Disney’s Hollywood Studios, an unforgettable
scene starts to unfold. Billboards start to change and the Hollywood Tower Hotel (The Twilight Zone Tower of
Terror) magically transforms.
The Toy Story characters guess which new toys are
coming this Christmas as the scene becomes covered in holiday wrapping paper.
The Swedish Chef turns the scene into giant gingerbread houses. And finally,
Olaf pining over his holiday wish as music plays and the scene freezes
over into a Frozen winter
wonderland complete with dancing Aurora Borealis lights and projected falling snow.
At Animal Kingdom, Christmas is a little more understated. You'll find lots of wreaths and garland, and some characters are dressed in their holiday finery! Animal Kingdom does have a huge Christmas decorated with traditional snowflakes and lights but also animal masks, large animal depictions, and drums! Some of the other trees may have animals like zebras, hippos, lions, giraffes, and more!
All the Disney parks are magical at Christmas! If you're visiting, make sure to see them all and find the magic of the holiday!
