Santa Claus is leaving his raft behind and heading to the Dino Institute this holiday season at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Today it was announced that guests will be able to meet with Santa Claus once again at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Since the pandemic, he has been spending this merry season aboard a raft cruising by guests and waving at them.
This year, Santa Claus will be joining friends new and old at the Dino Institute. This comes as he attends the 75th Annual Dino Institute Holiday Party. This will be n the patio at Restaurantosaurus.
Santa Claus will be the guest of honor for this holiday party. He has checked his list twice and invited everyone to join him at this new festive location along with the students and faculty of the Dino Institute. This party is going to be one for the record books by the way. It will be starting on November 12 and continue through December 24. This opportunity to meet Santa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be fun for the whole family!
Santa Claus won’t be the only holiday offering of interest at Disney’s Animal Kingdom this year though. The Merry Menagerie will be once again returning to brighten up the day with all of the cuteness anyone could ever need. Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will also be dressed up in there best holiday outfits and will be found at the Adventurers Outpost.
On top of all of the offerings mentioned above, there’s ill be plenty of shopping, plenty of goodies (a foodie guide is coming soon), and the magic that happens at night when the Tree of Life comes to life and brings the spirits of winter animals to life during Tree of Life Awakenings.
