Animal Kingdom in the Holiday season.

So for my last trip to Disney I went during "Holiday Season" to see the parks with their Christmas decorations. Animal Kingdom's decorations were probably a bit more subtle (if you can say that) than the other parks but they were still present.
First thing one notices when heading for the entrance to Animal Kingdom at this time of year is a GIANT (I'm sure I read 45ft) Christmas Tree complete with Animal themed decorations:
The entrance is decorated for Christmas as well:
Then as you walk around you do find the odd Christmas tree here and there in the corner of a shop but
certain areas have more decorations than others. Dinoland USA was one of the areas I noticed with more decorations. With Tinsel Christmas trees:


Tinsel Snowmen:

Even their character greeting area had a tree or two of it's own:

The funniest thing I noticed in Dinoland USA was in the shop where I saw a Dinosaur wearing a Santa hat. Never seen something like that before:


Camp Minnie Mickey is probably the area most decorated in Animal Kingdom that I saw from their sign onwards:


There are a selection of Christmas trees for many of the main Disney characters eg:
Minnie:


Pluto:

Goofy:

Chip and Dale:

Finding Nemo:

That's just a small selection of the trees there was many more. As well as all that the characters themselves are done up in Christmas outfits. Donald added a bit of holly to his safari hat. Goofy is dressed as Santa. Stitch and Lilo are in matching Christmas outfits:


While Minnie and Mickey have their Christmas jumpers and hats on:


Lastly the parade is renamed the Jingle Jungle Parade and while essentially it's the same floats and characters. There's different music and all the floats have a Christmassy theme going on:
