As the Walt Disney World holiday season approaches, Disney has revealed some new details on the festive line-up at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom for 2024.
At Disney's Hollywood Studios, holiday activities kick off on November 12 with three new entertainment acts designed to add fresh energy to the park's seasonal atmosphere.
The Juggling Elves bring lighthearted comedy and impressive juggling skills to Echo Lake, while the Holiday Spirit Band, a brass ensemble, will perform festive tunes that encourage guests to join in the fun. For those who love high-energy performances, the Seasons Jukebox marching band delivers hard-hitting horns, percussion, and dancers performing holiday classics with a modern twist.
Alongside these new acts, guests can also enjoy returning seasonal highlights. The Frozen Sing-Along Celebration will once again feature its holiday overlay, offering a wintry take on the popular show. Santa Claus will also be making appearances at It's A Wonderful Shop, giving guests the opportunity to meet him in a more intimate setting. As the sun sets, Sunset Seasons Greetings transforms Sunset Boulevard into a winter wonderland, complete with festive projections on the Hollywood Tower Hotel and magical snowfall.
Over at Disney's Animal Kingdom, Santa Claus will be making a new appearance at the 75th Annual Dino Institute Holiday Party on the patio of Restaurantosaurus, where he will greet guests as part of the students' and faculty's festive celebration.
The Merry Menagerie returns, featuring a collection of life-sized animal puppets that roam Discovery Island, interacting with guests in a playful, whimsical way.
Mickey and Minnie Mouse will also be available for meet-and-greets at Adventurers Outpost, dressed in their holiday best. After a day of exploring the park, guests can end the evening with the Tree of Life Awakenings, where seasonal projections of winter animals light up the iconic tree, creating a peaceful close to the day's celebrations.
