A Ride At Disney's Animal Kingdom Now Has Even MORE Plexiglass

Since reopening, Disney World has implemented several health and safety measures to keep guests and Cast Members safe.

Pandora

Not only are there face masks and social distancing markers, but many attraction and shops have received a plexiglass makeover. Many rides have gotten a plexiglass makeover in the queues, the loading area, and the attraction vehicles themselves, and today we noticed that more plexiglass has been added to an attraction in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!

As we headed to Pandora in Animal Kingdom today, we decided to hop on Na’vi River Journey. A few weeks ago, we noticed that plexiglass had been added to at least one of the boats, and they were seating every row in that boat.

Now, every single boat has a plexiglass divider between the rows. Also, Cast Members are now loading each row. Beforehand, parties had an entire boat to themselves. Disney has added dividers on other boat rides as well like Frozen Ever After and Living With the Land so that they can seat guests in every row.

Plexiglass

Plexiglass can help the wait times drastically, especially since Na’vi River Journey has consistently had some of the longest wait times in ALL of Disney World. Overall, our experience was about the same as any other ride with plexiglass in Disney World right now, but our wait time was fairly short at 25 minutes.

We’ll continue to be on the lookout for any other attractions that get plexiglass, and we’ll keep an eye on how it affects the wait times for Na’vi River Journey. Stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates from the Disney Parks!
