Disney’s Animal Kingdom is preparing for a significant transformation with the retheming of DinoLand USA into a new area inspired by the Tropical Americas. This development represents an exciting shift in the park’s offerings, aiming to bring new experiences to visitors while honoring the diverse cultures and environments of the Americas.
Early Permit Filing
Walt Disney Imagineering has initiated the project by filing an early permit for the installation of trailers in a backstage area north of Expedition Everest. These trailers will serve as a base for Imagineering and third-party vendors throughout the reimagining process. The permit indicates the early stages of what promises to be a comprehensive overhaul.
Project Details
The permit was approved in late May, allowing Disney World to move forward with preparations for the new area. While the trailers themselves are not part of the physical changes to DinoLand USA, they are essential for supporting the extensive work required for the transformation. This setup suggests a long-term presence of Imagineering teams at the park, dedicated to bringing the new vision to life.
Tropical Americas Retheme
The retheming of DinoLand USA into a Tropical Americas-themed area is a noteworthy initiative by Walt Disney Imagineering. With initial permits approved and preparations underway, this project is set to introduce new attractions and experiences that celebrate the rich natural and cultural heritage of the Americas. Stay tuned for further updates on this development as it progresses.
