As Disney’s Animal Kingdom continues its transformation of DinoLand U.S.A. into the new Tropical Americas-themed area, two popular snack spots, Trilo-Bites and Dino-Bite Snacks, are set to close permanently. These closures mark another step forward in the park’s reimagining efforts, with construction progressing toward a 2027 opening for the new land.

Menu Relocations
Fans of the popular Buffalo Chicken Chips from Trilo-Bites will be pleased to know that this guest-favorite snack will move to Eight Spoons Café on Discovery Island. Similarly, a variety of flavored Dole Whip floats previously offered at Trilo-Bites will now be available at the Warung Outpost in the Asia section of the park.
For those who enjoyed the ice cream offerings at Dino-Bite Snacks, soft-serve ice cream, floats, and sundaes will still be available at Tamu Tamu Refreshments and the Anandapur Ice Cream Truck. Disney has also announced that hand-scooped ice cream will return to Animal Kingdom in February 2026.

The closures of Trilo-Bites and Dino-Bite Snacks follow the previously announced closure dates for the DINOSAUR attraction and Restaurantosaurus, both of which will close permanently on February 2, 2026. These changes signal significant progress in the redevelopment of this section of the park.
Conclusion
The permanent closures of Trilo-Bites and Dino-Bite Snacks mark another milestone in the transformation of DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. While these changes may bring a sense of nostalgia for longtime fans, they also pave the way for the highly anticipated Tropical Americas-themed area. Guests can still enjoy many of their favorite snacks at new locations throughout the park, ensuring that the magic of Animal Kingdom continues to delight visitors during this period of change.
