More Animal Kingdom Entertainment Not To Be Missed:
When the sun sets, the park’s iconic symbol, The Tree of Life, awakens. The 14-story-tall structure, with its network of carved “roots” in the shapes of animals, comes alive as a sound-and-light show is projected onto its branches. Each show lasts about three minutes and comes with an original musical score. This show is really lovely and well worth seeing.
The new nighttime version of Kilimanjaro Safaris allows you to explore the savanna and its inhabitants, thanks to special lighting. Disney has done an amazing job of replicating the sub-Saharan East African landscape that guests can observe throughout the day. Special technology creates additional hours of twilight, making this attraction very beautiful at night.
Wait, There’s More!
At night, Harambe hosts the Harambe Wildlife Parti, a lively street party with entertainment and musical acts. At Discovery Island, dancers, stilt walkers, and musicians take to the street for the nighttime Discovery Island Carnivale.
With a May 27th opening date set for Pandora—The World of Avatar, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be super busy. Be prepared!
