food IS a theme park
We’ve been awaiting this news for quite some time, knowing it was coming, but half-dreading the announcement.
Dinoland
DinoLand U.S.A. began its closure and transformation into Pueblo Esperanza earlier this year when Chester & Hester’s DinoRama closed, along with TriceraTop Spin. Now, Disney has officially announced the closing date for The Boneyard in Dinoland, and it’s arriving sooner than you may think.
Construction walls have officially gone up in DinoLand U.S.A. at Animal Kingdom.
The first construction walls are up
The first round of closures started on January 13th, 2025 to make way for the brand-new land themed to the Tropical Americas, Pueblo Esperanza. The closures consisted of TriceraTop Spin, Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures, and the Fossil Fun games.
Animal Kingdom is about to look a whole lot different. A brand-new Tropical Americas-themed land called Pueblo Esperanza is coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom in 2027.

But, this new land is taking the place of DinoLand U.S.A., and the first phase of closures has already happened. And, now that the street carnival known as Dinorama is no more, Disney has rolled out some new park maps for Animal Kingdom in the park and on the My Disney Experience app. Let’s check it out the changes!

Disney’s new land is described as a colorful, lush world with details from Encanto and Indiana Jones. Construction is imminent since the new land will replace what is currently DinoLand U.S.A. at Animal Kingdom. In fact, January 12th is the LAST day to see DinoLand U.S.A. in its entirety.
