They're calling this experience Santa's Holiday Grove, and it's running November 13th through January the 6th.
Guests are going to follow a walkable trail with holiday touches, including snow flurries, specialty food and drinks, and a chance to meet Santa himself.
The experience is planned for an area across from the theater in the wild where Finding Nemo and the Big Blue and Beyond is performed, which to me, I think that's where the open air theater is.
But maybe I'm crazy, but it does sound like fun.
And it's a way to bring some seasonal sparkle to Animal Kingdom without turning the whole park into a Christmas village.
What do you guys think about that? Would you be willing to do that? Do you think that's a good idea? Because they've had decorations, those white animal characters where the people put them on their body and then they like act out stuff.
But this will be something new.
I think that's neat.
I definitely would want to go see it.
Yeah, I mean, that's it's something different.
I mean, that's always the thing.
And like with the other events, if it feels like it's a trail, like something you could walk through, the other stuff is like the party at Magic Kingdom.
You have to have tickets.
That's a separate thing.
You know, the Jingle Bell, Jingle Jam, you know, everything else like at Epcot, you have the the processional like everything's this big deal with like a huge crowd and it's like huge undertaking to attend like i feel that if you were more of a chill person especially at the holidays like you're already fighting crowds during that busy time just to get your park days in like that might be something just oh okay i'm gonna walk through a trail and i get to see some cool stuff like that sounds like way more up your alley if you're done fighting with people and crowds and stuff for sure
Like,
I don't know.
I'd be happy with it.
That was so cool.
Did you go to it? We did.
We went a couple years, but of course we started falling in love with it, and then it went bye-bye.
