    What date will the Merry Menagerie begin this year at Animal Kingdom?

    Hi there, Sara!

    Welcome to planDisney! I don't know about you, but I find myself in the Holiday spirit all year, so I always love that Walt Disney World Resort celebrates the season a bit longer than the rest of society. When I saw the Halfway to the Holidays feature on the Disney Parks Blog at the end of June I was thrilled to read about all of this year's seasonal offerings. With the return of Disney Jollywood Nights, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and your favorite, the Merry Menagerie, there are so many ways to celebrate!

    While the dates for Disney Jollywood Nights (select nights November 9 through December 21), Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party (select nights November 8 through December 20), and the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays (November 29 through December 30) have been announced, we are still awaiting the details for Disney's Animal Kingdom's celebrations, Sara. Last year sightings of the Merry Menagerie began in mid-November and continued through the end of the year. Of course, this hasn't been confirmed for 2024, but dates typically follow similar trends from year to year. I suggest keeping an eye on the Disney Parks Blog in the weeks ahead because that is where the information will most likely be revealed first! 

    As you await the merry announcement, be sure to check out this article, which shares all of the ways you can celebrate the season at Walt Disney World Resort, and remember, your questions are always welcome here at planDisney
