Get these Disney souvenirs before they go extinct.
DinoLand U.S.A.’s days are numbered. Earlier this year at the 2024 D23 Ultimate Fan Event, Disney confirmed that the entirety of the Animal Kingdom opening day area was being closed to make way for the park’s new Tropical Americas land. While rides Dinosaur and TriceraTop Spin will be the most noticeable things to disappear, there are further unique things that are going to disappear forever.
During Walt Disney World’s early years, almost all of the resort’s various lands offered specialty souvenirs that were only available within those lands. However, in recent decades, the amount of unique keepsakes has gone down, being replaced by relatively homogenized selections across the board. However, there are still some unique items if one knows where to look, including in DinoLand U.S.A.
First off, there’s the photo booth. Themed — like the rest of the Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama — to a traditional carnival, this traditional-style photo booth offers unique photo strips for $6.00.
These strips feature special Animal Kingdom and Chester & Hester’s framing devices. Given that a photo booth like this wouldn’t fit with the Indiana Jones and Encanto theming coming to Tropical Americas, it seems like a given that time is running out to get this unique souvenir.
The photo strips aren’t the only specialty items that are likely disappearing for good from the area. DinoLand’s carnival games feature specialty plushes of the land’s dinosaurs as well as Mickey and Minnie in specialty outfits that are only available to winners of the games, and in turn, they’re likely going to disappear with those games.
In addition, there are custom dog tags available in the area…
… as well as pressed pennies.
While excitement is high for Tropical Americas, it’s tinged with just a bit of melancholy for some of the unique things at Animal Kingdom that will disappear with DinoLand U.S.A. Stay tuned to DFB for further coverage of Animal Kingdom’s changes.
