    Hi, we are excited to be visiting the first week in December! We are super excited to get to experiance Animal Kingdom after dark. Sunset will be at 5:30. Will the Tree of Life Awakenings happen on days when the park officially closes at 6pm? Thanks!

    Season's Greetings, Staci! Thanks for coming back to planDisney with another great vacation planning question! Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park after dark is one of my favorite sights - especially Pandora - The World of Avatar; if you haven't had a chance to check out its bioluminescent beauty, be sure to add that to your list for your upcoming visit!

    Staci, I'm excited to share with you that the Tree of Life Awakenings has recently returned to Animal Kingdom Theme Park! With the earlier sunset times during this season, the show has reportedly been happening around 6:10 PM on nights when the park officially closes at 6 PM. Of course, offerings and times are subject to change, so I'd recommend checking in the My Disney Experience mobile app on the day of your visit or inquiring with a Cast Member once you arrive to verify show times and offerings! 

    Even more exciting, Staci, is that the Tree of Life Awakenings currently features a holiday edition for guests to enjoy! Combining this magical and unique show with some of the other holiday offerings at Animal Kingdom like visiting Santa at Restaurantosaurus and stopping for a meet and greet and photo with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse at Adventurers Outpost (they've traded their adventure gear for some holiday attire for the season), you're sure to feel festive! 

    Staci, I hope this helps, and I hope you will feel merry and bright watching the Tree of Life Awakenings during your visit! If you have any other planning questions we can help with, come on back to planDisney and let us know! We're always here to awaken the magic with you!

    See you real soon,
    Alison
