12/22 Disney’s Animal Kingdom Christmas – Jingle Jungle Parade, Character Trees, Dance Parties!

Hi everyone!

Yesterday was a perfect day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom park! Our weather has been very warm this December, and I didn’t even need a sweater as we stayed into the evening.

The Christmas tree at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is, as you’d expect, animal themed! While the decorations at the base of the tree stayed the same, many were moved around from last year.
