Summary

  • Dinoland USA at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is being transformed into a new “Tropical Americas-themed” land featuring attractions inspired by Encanto and Indiana Jones.
  • The new 11-acre land will feature an immersive Encanto attraction, while the Indiana Jones ride will replace DINOSAUR.
  • The new attractions and land are set to debut in 2027.

A significant shift is happening at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, as Dinoland USA – a beloved part of the Walt Disney World park since its debut in April 1998 – is being replaced to make room for an enthralling new land themed around Tropical Americas. This transformation, unveiled last August, will include captivating Disney attractions influenced by the movies ‘Encanto’ and ‘Indiana Jones’.

In the near future, an 11-acre area at Disney World is set to be developed, alongside various other updates. This expansion will breathe life into the Tropical Americas, with two significant attractions at its heart.

The first, titled “Encanto”, will delve deeper into the cherished tale of the movie, beginning on Antonio’s birthday when he receives the ability to communicate with animals. This interactive journey promises to continue the story in a fresh and captivating manner, offering a spellbinding adventure for fans of all ages.

On the other hand, the “Indiana Jones” attraction will refurbish the current DINOSAUR ride, which will continue operations until 2025. Utilizing the same ride system and track layout as Indiana Jones Adventure in Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland, this revamped attraction will introduce a new tale starring the renowned archaeologist, adding even more exhilarating adventures to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

On January 13, Chester and Hester’s Dino-Rama section of Dinoland USA underwent a significant change. As per images shared by WDWNT, barriers and portable plants now encircle the location, and the themed signs and billboards that once decorated Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures gift shop have been taken down. This store, which was part of a quirky tale about a couple exploiting fossil discoveries in Diggs County, is now permanently shuttered alongside the rest of Dino-Rama. The demolition process has been rapid, with green construction barriers replacing movable planters around landmarks like the “Cementosaurus.” In the interim, visitors can catch daily shows by the Ecorhythmics band in this region.

DinoLand U.S.A. Closes to Make Room for New Encanto Land at Disney World

As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled about the arrival of Pueblo Esperanza in the upcoming Walt Disney World land. This new fictional town promises to infuse vibrant culture and tantalizing cuisine into the park, making it an even more enchanting experience. One of the highlights is the replacement of Restaurantosaurus with a charming hacienda-style restaurant, while Restaurantosaurus will continue to serve visitors for now. Additionally, a carousel ride featuring animals carved in the image of beloved Disney characters such as Kevin from “Up” will be added, further enhancing the immersive atmosphere. These exciting additions are designed to make our visit to the park more lively and engaging than ever before!

2025 is expected to mark the end of the popular DINOSAUR ride at Disney World, while 2027 will bring about the introduction of new attractions and landscapes. As Disney moves towards reinventing and enlarging its parks, enthusiasts can anticipate an engaging new era at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This fresh chapter combines the captivating stories from Encanto and Indiana Jones with the aesthetics and cultural richness of the Tropical Americas.

Apart from the debut of Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s latest attraction, Encanto, visitors can also anticipate the launch of a brand new stage show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in summer 2025. This fresh live production, titled “Disney Villains Unfairly Ever After,” will introduce some of Disney’s best-known villains on Sunset Boulevard, featuring Cruella de Vil from “101 Dalmatians”, Captain Hook from “Peter Pan”, and Maleficent from “Sleeping Beauty.
