    We are going to Animal Kingdom Monday the 16th. Park hours list park closes at 6pm. Will there be a tree of life show? Of is it only on extended hour nights like fridays?

    Jambo, TeAnn!

    Welcome back to planDisney and thank you for bringing us another fantastic Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question. I'm thrilled to hear you'll be embarking on another wild and wonderful adventure to The Most Magical Place on Earth very soon! I'm here to help you gear up for your enchanting journey.

    TeAnn, get ready for a roar-some time at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park! It's such a special time of year to visit this incredible place. (Be sure to look out for the Merry Menagerie as they toddle and twinkle around Discovery Island!) The Tree of Life Awakenings are dazzling displays that occur intermittently on select evenings during which Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park is open after dark. During the holiday season, the show takes on a very merry overlay, delighting Guests with joy! According to the schedule for this special entertainment offering, the show won't be offered on the date you've mentioned, likely because the theme park closes at 6:00 p.m. that evening. At the time of writing, it looks like the Tree of Life Awakenings are scheduled for those evenings when the theme park is open past 6:00 p.m.

    If you have the chance during your enchanting escape to the Walt Disney World Resort, I encourage you to pop into Nomad Lounge for a quick bite and a delightful drink! This is one of my favorite spots on property to enjoy a liquid libation and enjoy the scenery from the comfort of the lounge's wraparound porch. The Grilled Chicken Satay skewers are my go-to snack here, and the Leaping Lizard or Snow Leopard Salvation are my favorite beverages on the menu!

    TeAnn, I hope you've found this information helpful and I wish you a vacation filled with merriment! If you have any more questions before or during your trip, you're always welcome to revisit us here at planDisney. We're here to help you make the most of your time at The Most Magical Place on Earth!

    Warm wishes,

    Lauren
