Entertainment
There is only one “show” taking place right now- the Winged Encounters, and this takes places many times throughout the day. The Tree of Life Awakenings are not happening right now mostly because the park is barely open after dark. There are random character cavalcades happening at different times during the day so you can say hello to your favourite characters from a distance!
