Hi Dusty, welcome to planDisney!
How exciting that you are just one sleep away from your
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge stay! This resort is truly one-of-a-kind, with breathtaking views of the savanna and an ambiance that immerses you in the heart of Africa. While you're there, I highly recommend dining at
Sanaa. Their Indian Bread Service, featuring a variety of flavorful accompaniments, is a must-try and a perfect way to elevate your visit. This is a must-do for my family on every visit!
I’m happy to share that I spoke with a Cast Member on your behalf and confirmed that the Christmas tree is already up at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge! The towering tree, decorated with intricate African-inspired ornaments, is a sight. I suggest grabbing a cup of coffee or hot chocolate from
The Mara, finding a cozy spot in the lobby, and taking a moment to relax while soaking in the tree's beauty and festive charm.
In fact, all Disney Resort Collection hotels are already decked out for the holidays, making it an excellent time to explore. While you're enjoying your stay, you might also want to visit
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, where you’ll find a life-size gingerbread house that smells just as good as it looks.
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is home to another spectacular Christmas tree, surrounded by rustic charm that captures the holiday spirit. Other resorts, such as
Disney’s Beach Club Resort with its intricate gingerbread carousel and
Disney’s Contemporary Resort with its modern holiday displays, are also worth a visit.
I hope this helps answer your question, Dusty! If you have any additional questions or need more recommendations,
don’t hesitate to swing back by. Have a wonderful time during your stay, and enjoy the festive holiday season at Walt Disney World Resort!
Cheers,
Brent
