    I just saw that Animal Kingdom will have Extended Evening Hours during our trip in early May. Any chance we'll be able to see the Tree of Life Awakenings? We saw it years ago and would love for our kiddos to get to see it!

    Hey there, Rachael! So happy to have you visit with us!

    You and your family are in for a dazzling treat! The Tree of Life Awakenings typically begin shortly after dark, bringing the park’s centerpiece to life with beautiful projections and enchanting music. Each awakening happens approximately every 10 minutes until the park closes, creating a mesmerizing experience I know your little ones will remember, just like you did! 

    However, times and occurrences are subject to change without notice. To ensure you catch this magical moment, be sure to check the My Disney Experience app or ask a nearby Cast Member on the night of your visit for the most up-to-date schedule.

    To add to your nighttime experience at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, don’t miss Pandora – The World of Avatar after dark! The entire land glows with beauty, making it feel like you’ve stepped into an otherworldly paradise. The floating mountains, pathways, and plant life are illuminated in various colors, creating a completely different atmosphere than during the day. 

    The Na’vi River Journey lines often lower later in the evening, making it a great time to ride! Be sure to take your time strolling through Pandora and soaking in the mesmerizing sights before ending your night with the Tree of Life Awakenings.

    Enjoy your magical moments with your little ones on your upcoming trip! Please stop by and visit with planDisney again if you have any additional planning questions!
