There is just SO much to do in Disney World during the holiday season.
From visiting giant gingerbread houses at the resorts to having a holiday meal with Mickey, Minnie, and friends to checking out the Christmas Tree Stroll in Disney Springs, you’re bound to find some fun activities. But there’s one UNIQUE activity hiding at one of Disney World’s hotels!
There’s a special activity at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge where you can use an ostrich egg to make an ornament!
Because there are no male ostriches at Animal Kingdom or at Animal Kingdom Lodge, the eggs remain unfertilized and then go unused by the female ostriches who lay them.
Once the eggs are cleaned, they are crushed and colorfully dyed.
Here’s where you come in — you can pick an animal shape to glue those egg pieces into a mosaic piece to make an ornament. Then you’re given a piece of recycled telephone wire to finish off the ornament.
When you’re done, you’ll have a unique souvenir to take home and hang on your Christmas tree.
To see more about the experience, check out our videos and photos in our Instagram post below!
This activity does require a donation of $5 or more, with proceeds going directly to Disney’s Worldwide Conservation Fund!
This is something that has been offered in Disney World in the past, so we’re excited to see it has returned.
Looking for more fun activities at your hotel? Be sure to look for an activities board while you’re at your resort or ask Cast Members about activities going on during your stay — you’ll be surprised at all the fun stuff you can do.
