Disney World is home to some pretty intense crowd surges, but March 16th at Animal Kingdom could be a whole different level of chaos.
If you’re planning to visit Animal Kingdom on March 16th, you might want to steer clear of one very specific spot: the area around the Tree of Life, where It’s Tough to be a Bug! is located. That’s because March 16th marks the last day of showtimes for the long-running attraction before it permanently closes to make way for a brand-new Zootopia show. Let’s talk about why this is happening and what you can do to navigate the chaos.
Disney filed a permit for work to be done at the Tree of Life in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, which currently houses It’s Tough to Be a Bug.
The permit was filed on February 3rd, 2025, and is for work to be done by a contractor called Westbrook Service Corporation.
Huge changes are coming to Animal Kingdom!
DinoLand U.S.A. is being transformed into a Tropical Americas-themed land named Pueblo Esperanza and will include three brand new attractions! These attractions include an Encanto-themed attraction, a carousel, and an Indiana Jones-themed attraction. But it is not only DinoLand U.S.A. that is changing. Animal Kingdom’s park icon, the Tree of Life is home to It’s Tough to Be a Bug! and the time has finally come — we have a closing date for this show.
