A NEW Animal Has Joined the Gingerbread Display at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge

Another Christmas tree and gingerbread display have arrived at Disney World! The holiday festivities are in full swing with Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Disney Jollywood Nights, and festive decor up all around the Disney World resort.

Wilderness Lodge Christmas Tree

You can visit gingerbread displays at Disney’s Grand Floridian Spa & Resort, Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, Disney’s Beach Club, and more. Plus, you can find gorgeous Christmas trees at resorts like Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. And now another gingerbread display and Christmas tree has joined the list!

The Christmas trees and gingerbread display are FINALLY up at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. This is another one of our favorite trees as it looks stunning in the lobby of Animal Kingdom Lodge!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Christmas Tree

There are actually TWO different Christmas trees up at Animal Kingdom Lodge. The largest one can be found in the lobby of Jambo House, but there is also a beautiful tree up in the lobby of Kidani Village.

The tree that is inside Jambo House towers through the center of the lobby and it looks gorgeous from almost any angle!

How beautiful!

While you are there to see the tree, also take some time to admire the ornaments. There are some really fun ornaments throughout, and you never know when you might spot a hidden Mickey.

Such fun ornaments!

In addition to the two trees, you can also find an aptly themed gingerbread display. We have seen this display in previous years, but this year there is a NEW addition!

Animal Kingdom Lodge Gingerbread Display

The gingerbread display includes Ginger the Giraffe, Debra the Zebra, and Francisco the Flamingo who is making his very FIRST appearance!

You can even find two hidden Mickeys inside the display so keep your eyes peeled.

We are so excited to finally see the decorations up at Animal Kingdom Lodge! Now we are just eagerly awaiting the start of EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays on November 29th.

Debra the Zebra

If you are hoping to stop by some of the Disney World hotels to see the Christmas decorations, Disney has put out a warning that you should plan to use Disney Transportation to get to the resort. If you drive to the resort, you may not be allowed in, so plan on taking Disney transport. If you are just heading to Disney World for the resorts, you can also park at Disney Springs for free and catch the hotel buses from the bus depot there.

We love this tree!
