food IS a theme park
It’s time for us to take a trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see what’s new!
Tree of Life
Over the past week, the park debuted the reimagined Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond show (with some hiccups, but we’ll get to that later), started some newer refurbishments, and welcomed in new merchandise! There’s a lot to update you on, so let’s get right into it!
It’s here! It’s finally here!
Nemo and Marlin
After the 2020 park closure, Animal Kingdom‘s Finding Nemo musical show did not reopen, and it was announced that a reimagined version of the show would be taking its place. We’ve followed along with the show’s journey from when details were first announced to getting a first look at the show, and now, the day has come for the show to finally open!
Just keep swimming your way to June 13th, which will be a huge day in Animal Kingdom!
Finding Nemo Theater
It’s been years since we’ve gotten the chance to sing and dance along with some of our favorite underwater friends, as the Finding Nemo Musical has remained closed since Disney World’s COVID-19 related closures in 2020. The show is being reimagined, and we were teased with sneak peeks and the show’s new name, Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond! We recently also learned about the show’s opening date (June 13th), which left us with one important piece missing — showtimes!
It’s getting into the summer months of 2022, which means a LOT of people are gearing up for their Disney World vacations! If you’re among the crowds who will be flocking to the parks this summer, we’re here to help you out with all kinds of packing hacks, planning tips, and updates on the latest news.
