PHOTOS: We Could Spend HOURS Exploring the Ornaments on this Disney World Tree

Holiday decorations are going up in the Disney World theme parks, gift shops, and hotels.

Holiday Decor at Animal Kingdom Lodge

So far, there have been awesome decorations at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort (home of the giant gingerbread house), Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and more. Now we’re heading into another Disney World hotel to check out the decor that just went up! Let’s go see how these compare with the decorations at other hotels nearby.

Honestly, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is one of our favorite hotels for holiday decorations. And this year it did not disappoint! The HUGE Christmas tree in the lobby is back, and it’s still decked with really cool and unique ornaments.

BIG Christmas Tree

If you’re visiting this hotel’s lobby (and we think you should), take some time to check out the ornaments on this tree. There are African drums…

…intricately beaded ornaments…

So pretty!

…and more!

Gorgeous ornaments!

Off to the side, you can take a look at the garlands hanging from the balconies as well.

Once you get past this colossal tree, though, there are even more decorations to check out. There’s another tree in the back of the lobby with equally gorgeous ornaments.

Another lobby tree!

Hanging from this tree’s branches, there are little huts with Mickey-shaped windows (and lights inside!)…

…and some other hidden Mickey ornaments as well.

Speaking of hidden Mickeys, make sure to stop in at the gift shop to spot a Mickey with wreaths for ears!

Hey Mickey!

Zawadi Marketplace has some decor of its own to celebrate the holidays.

Most of the decor that we found was just in the lobby and gift shops, but we also saw a couple of trees tucked away in seating areas close by.
