Update on Tropical Americas at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is growing, and Tropical Americas is set to open in 2027!

In order to make way for Tropical Americas and ensure our guests have the best possible experience, we have some updates happening:

DinoLand U.S.A. will permanently close on February 2, 2026. This means the final day to experience DINOSAUR, The Dino Institute Shop, Restaurantosaurus, and Restaurantosaurus Lounge is February 1, 2026.
This winter, Harambe Market will temporarily close to enable the location to begin serving these fan-favorite items when DinoLand closes. We expect the location to reopen in early 2026.
Kali River Rapids will temporarily close October 6, 2025, and is expected to reopen in December 2025.
Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond! will remain open and available to guests.
Donald, Daisy, Chip and Dale will continue greeting at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

We look forward to having Tropical Americas open at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in 2027.
