The ONE Reason Why Disney’s Animal Kingdom WINS at the Holidays

It’s the holiday season in Disney World!

Animal Kingdom Christmas Tree

We’ve seen decorations go up in all of the parks, the famous gingerbread house return to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and the first night of Disney Very Merriest After Hours was this week. And today, we spotted an adorable part of the holidays make its return at Animal Kingdom!

We learned in October that the Merry Menagerie would be returning to the park, and it’s finally back!!

Look who’s back!

The Menagerie features winter animals in the form of life-size puppets that come out on Discovery Island for the holidays.

The puppets are decorated beautifully!

Today, the polar bears were out and about in front of the Tree of Life!!

Adorable!

Other animals that have been a part of the Menagerie in the past include reindeer, foxes, penguins, and more, so we’ll be on the lookout for those guys! For now, we’re cool chillin’ with the polar bears.

Because, seriously, how cute are they?!

We love them

Take a closer look at the polar bear puppets in our video below!
