Animal Kingdom Construction and Refurbishment Update

Even though Pandora has been open for over a year, Animal Kingdom is still a park undergoing some changes and construction. We spotted quite a few construction walls up around the park this week.

On top of the construction there was the announcement that Rafiki’s Planet Watch is closing October 20 for refurbishment until Spring of 2019.

Back to the Construction: there is a long line of construction walls in Asia that start near Mr. Kamals Falafel Stand and go up the bridge towards Discovery Island.

Because of the construction, the Hot Dog Cart that was outside the UP show has been removed.

As you come to the bridge between Asia and Discovery Island you pass Drinkwallah, and you can see scaffolding behind Drinkwallah.

At least from this view, the walls don’t ruin photos of the river — too much.

We spotted another change in Pandora. The ACE Mobility Cart is in a new location, by the drums. It was pretty hidden by the Face Painting station before; you should be able to find it easier now.
