"Our TouringPlans subscription was a lifesaver on our trip. One of the busiest days of the year, and we never waited longer than 20 minutes!"

It is scheduled to re-open in the future.
Description And Comments
Running several times per night, it combines digital video projections with music and other special effects. We've seen four different three-minute shows. In each, special projection effects make it appear that some animals carved into the tree trunk have come alive. Other special effects happen in the tree's leaves and branches. It's similar to the Magic Kingdom’s popular Celebrate the Magic show. We consider it not to be missed.
Touring Tips
The Awakening runs approximately every 15 minutes, starting around sunset. Specific start times may in the Times Guide you can pick-up in the park, and the show will often continue running after the park is officially closed. The viewing spot is directly in front of the tree on Discovery Island, across from Island Mercantile.
