As Disney’s Animal Kingdom gears up for an exciting transformation, recent permits filed for DinoLand USA signal the early stages of a new project set to bring the Tropical Americas-themed experience, now being called Pueblo Esperanza, to life. This article delves into the specifics of these permits, what they entail, and how they fit into the broader vision for the park’s evolution.
Understanding the Permits
Disney’s recent filing of three permits for backstage areas at DinoLand USA marks a significant step in preparing for the upcoming changes. These permits, handled by the in-house Buena Vista Construction Company, cover labor, material, and electrical work. While the official descriptions remain vague, such permits typically indicate preliminary steps that pave the way for larger construction efforts.
Backstage Changes
The focus of these permits appears to be on several backstage buildings at DinoLand USA. Among them are a show control trailer, an operations trailer, and another operations building, all of which are likely to be removed as the area transforms into the Tropical Americas. These changes will make way for new attractions and infrastructure needed for the reimagined land.
Anticipating Tropical Americas
The transformation of DinoLand USA into Tropical Americas promises an immersive experience centered around new attractions, including a rumored Encanto-themed ride. The phased construction approach allows guests to continue enjoying existing attractions like DINOSAUR during the initial development stages. Disney’s commitment to maintaining a seamless guest experience during the transition is evident in their careful planning and project execution.
Conclusion
As Disney lays the groundwork for Pueblo Esperanza, enthusiasts and visitors can look forward to witnessing the evolution of the DinoLand USA area of Animal Kingdom. These early permits represent the first steps in a journey that will bring new stories and experiences to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
