food IS a theme park
As much as it pains us, Animal Kingdom will be without one of our favorite lands in just a short 7 days.
DINOSAUR
It’s true — while the day originally felt far away (and yet, far too close at the same time), DinoLand U.S.A. in Animal Kingdom is permanently closing in just one week. Yes, something new is coming in its place that we’re looking forward to, but we’re ALSO wondering how many times we can ride DINOSAUR in one week. 🤔
In just one month, it’ll be time to officially say goodbye to one of our favorite parts of Animal Kingdom.
Dinosaur
This land began closing in early 2025 to make way for the new Tropical Americas land, but we got to experience our beloved Dinosaur attraction for another year. However, that time has come to an end — this is your reminder that in just ONE month, the rest of DinoLand, U.S.A. will close forever.
Big changes are coming to Disney World, and some of them might sting a little.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Disney has already been in the middle of a huge transformation across multiple parks, and now it looks like two more fan-favorite attractions will soon be added to the closure list. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith and DINOSAUR are both scheduled to close in 2026, though Disney hasn’t given us official closure dates yet. The timing here is critical, because both rides are tied to massive park transformations — one featuring The Muppets and the other tied to the new Tropical Americas land at Animal Kingdom. Here’s what you need to know about these two closures and what’s coming next.
It’s the beginning of the end for this beloved Animal Kingdom ride.
DinoLand U.S.A.
Animal Kingdom is undergoing heavy renovations to make way for the Pueblo Esperanza expansion, and we’ve just taken another step closer to change.
Every once in a while, the rides and attractions in Disney World may experience a temporary downtime. These downtimes can occur for a number of reasons, and they are often quite brief and don’t cause any major disruptions to the ride’s operations.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Brief technical hiccups are bound to happen, and from time to time, you may find yourself ON the ride when those hiccups occur!
