The Holiday Snowflakes at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Feature More Magic Than Meets the Eye

The holiday season is in full swing at Walt Disney World and the decorations at Disney’s Animal Kingdom feature a little extra magic this year.

  • The holiday decorations at Disney’s Animal Kingdom this year feature handmade snowflakes woven into garland and wreaths in Discovery Island.
  • These snowflakes were made with care by the talented artisans from a vocational nonprofit organization, Augusta Training Shop, which employs adults with disabilities, helping them to discover their abilities and lead self-sufficient lives.
  • The artisans who made these snowflakes were recently invited to Walt Disney World to see their work on display for thousands of Guests to enjoy this holiday season.
  • The snowflakes can be seen lining the shops and buildings in Discovery Island located near the front of the park as Guests head toward the Tree of Life.
