In this artist rendering, the Tree of Life becomes a Beacon of Magic in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. As part of “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” honoring Walt Disney World Resort’s 50th anniversary beginning Oct. 1, 2021, the tree and other icons at each Walt Disney World theme park will come to life at night with their own EARidescent glow.

Animal Kingdom Tree of Life Awakenings Return October 1

Herb Leibacher·September 21, 2022

Disney's Animal Kingdom

Fall is in the air as the central Floria high temperatures struggle to get into the 90s.

With shorter days and earlier sunsets, Disney is bringing back the Beacon of Magic and Tree of Life Awakenings at Animal Kingdom.

The projection shows will return on Saturday, October 1, at 7:45 PM. The park will close at 8:00 PM, so taking in these shows will be a great way to close out your wild day.

Excited to see the return of the Tree of Life Awakenings?
