Thanksgiving and Christmas at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park

The Walt Disney World Resort is a great place to visit 365 days a year, but there are certain days and times that are more popular than others. Holidays, popular vacation times and special occasions are all reasons why guests trek to Central Florida each year, even though – as we well know – you really don’t have to have a specific reason to visit the Walt Disney World Resort!

While all four of the theme parks are a great place to spend any day of the year at the Walt Disney World Resort, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park is a great option for families who are celebrating the holidays away from home in Central Florida. One of the main reasons families might pick Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park is because of the crowds – as one might have guessed, the holidays are some of the busiest times of the year for the Disney Parks, so this theme park in particular gives families that same holiday spirit and décor that is featured in all of the other parks but with less crowds, shorter wait times for attractions – and all of the same Disney magic.

Thanksgiving might not be an obvious choice for Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park because of its shortage on full service restaurant choices, but there are still options in the Tusker House Restaurant buffet meal, the Yak and Yeti full service restaurant and the Rainforest Café that sits just outside the park’s gates. Just after Thanksgiving ends, however, the park revs up its holiday spirit, draping the park in holiday décor, headlined by an amazing Christmas tree that stands at least 20-30 feet in the air just outside the park’s turnstiles. This focal point hints at the holiday spirit that lies within the park’s gates, such as the holiday-garbed Disney characters that are available for pictures inside Camp Minnie Mickey, appearances by Santa Goofy, and the park’s headline special event, Mickey’s Jingle Jungle Parade, a special holiday version of the popular daily parade.
