I’ve been visiting Animal Kingdom since it first opened back in 1998 (yes, I was there when everyone still thought “Beastly Kingdom” was totally happening). But I can’t remember a time the park has looked this different. Pandora was huge, sure — but the new Pueblo Esperanza land with three new rides and the Casita Madrigal? It’s changing the entire vibe of Animal Kingdom. And depending on how nostalgic you are for DinoLand, it might sting a little.
Disney World is currently hard at work on the brand-new Tropical Americas land, and there’s a brand-new show opening. But that means some familiar favorites are going extinct — literally. Let’s talk about what’s closed in Animal Kingdom right now.
