The splendor of the holidays welcomes guests to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge for a unique ornament activity that is easy and fun for the entire family.
Through the Animal Programs Education Team, cultural representatives from Africa welcome Disney guests to an annual ornament activity held in the Jambo House lobby from 3-7:30 p.m. throughout the month of December.
The spirit of the season is celebrated as guests gather together to craft these unique holiday ornaments from ostrich egg shells. The unfertilized eggs come from both Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and neighboring Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park. The hard shells are crushed and then dyed into colorful pieces that are glued onto animal-shaped ornaments and hung by recycled telephone wire. A final touch of glitter and beads make the mosaic-like ornaments a nice take-home from a memorable Disney vacation.
The craft-making is a popular holiday activity at the African-themed resort with donations going to the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, which supports conservation projects throughout the world. Last year the month-long activity collected more than $10,000 in donations. (A $5 donation per ornament is suggested.)
