Merry Menagerie - AK

[MudBud]

The schedule says intermittently from 10 - 5. Does anyone know if there’s an actual pattern? Every 30 minutes or quarter after the hour? My daughter would really like to see this!

From wdwinfo: Not all of the animal puppets come out at one time, so if guests want to see all the puppets, they will have to return later in the day to see a different mix of animals.

While I was a little miffed at some other recent DAK entertainment cutbacks, it’s nice to see this type of seasonal (and non-IP) offering. Looks pretty cool.

Where exactly does this occur? "Discovery Island" is a pretty good chunk of real estate.

My plan is to park myself in the right spot, and not move for the entire two weeks of my trip!

They look so amazing, and my friend Pip Pierson the Puppet Porg can’t wait to meet them!

Got to see these Monday and they were delightful. Loved getting to interact with a few of them and watching others do the same. AK's holiday efforts this year have been great.

While in AK, also look for all the handmade snowflakes. Here’s the story:

This is amazing! Thanks for posting. We were at AK last weekend and I don't think I paid a lot of attention to the snowflakes. I will definitely give them a closer look when we go back over Thanksgiving.
I loved the lights they added to the dinoland dinosaur. I don't know why they didn't start doing that years ago! It looked great.

Thank you for sharing! I make deliberate choices where I spend my money, and knowing this makes my WDW spending even more special to me.
