One thing to do at Animal Kingdom to feel more festive is to spot Santa Claus sailing down the Discovery River. His cheerful attitude is going to welcome Christmas like no one else. Well, let’s not forget the holiday soundtrack that gets our moods pumped!

Not just Santa Claus, but you will also find Chip ‘n’ Dale welcoming you in style as they reflect the festive flair through their style. Sailing through the waterways in glee, these two will jingle through the jungle and dance to the tunes of Christmas carols.

Donald Duck and friends will also participate in this event and wave through the waterways, glancing at visitors. You could also spot a vibrant group of percussionists cruising through the river and playing music.
