Along with construction walls, pieces of Whirl have now been removed. Disney has not yet announced the replacement plans for this ride.

I will be visiting Animal Kingdom next week. I just need to know if I can bring my electrolytes water with me. I also get my potassium from organic bananas. Will I be able to bring 3 with me?
Dian, you can carry bottled beverages, as long as they’re not in glass bottles. You can bring in any food you’d like, really. Bananas will be no problem.
