Discovery Island Carnivale Animal Kingdom

The Discovery Island Carnivale is a street party that takes place across from Flame Tree Barbecue, and it’s an interactive experience for children and adults alike. The Viva Gaia Street Band takes to the stage, while dancers and stilt-walkers in brightly-colored costumes create a party atmosphere. After an initial dance, they invite guests to join them and hand out colorful streamers to kids. The dancers lead everyone through some simple but high-energy steps and then finish off the set with one big conga line.

Tips: There are no official published times for Carnivale at this time, but it appears to take place at half past the hour every hour beginning at 6:30. We saw parties at 7:35 and 8:40. I’m not sure if they continued after that. There was a PhotoPass photographer circling the street party to capture images, so if you participate, be sure to ask for a PhotoPass card so you can add the photos to your My Disney Experience account.
