Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been a fun place to play as we’ve seen animals lounging about in the Kilimanjaro Safaris or grab as many Dole Whips as possible during our trek through the park.
As Disney World continues to make shifts in the park operations, new face mask requirements have been added to the overhead announcement and social distancing measures are being enforced. While every place in the park isn’t open just yet to guests, Disney’s Animal Kingdom is bringing back entertainment that’s a blast for your little ones!
Now that Primeval Whirl has closed permanently, things have been pretty quiet over in DinoLand, U.S.A. But, the parks are opening up the Fossil Fun Games section of the park starting September 13th for a chance to win prizes and have some friendly competition!
The carnival-style games will have limited hours, running from 10AM until 4PM in the parks. Distancing and sanitation measures will most likely be used at each of the booths as guests participate in a dino-mite time with their party members. But, make sure to put your game face on because you could stack up a whole supply of dinosaur toys and other prizes if you win!
As Disney World continues to open attractions, experiences, and restaurants (like the Halloween character dining at Hollywood and Vine and Cinderella’s Royal Table), we’ll give you a look at what the re-opened parks are like! And, as always, we’re here to answer any questions you might have about your vacation back to Disney World.
