Have you been to Disney World’s WILDEST park recently?
Tree of Life
We have made a few stops over to Disney’s Animal Kingdom over the past few days and you KNOW we spotted some new and exciting updates. Now, we’re bringing you a check-in on the latest in construction and merchandise in this park!
Animal Kingdom Construction Updates
Dinoland, U.S.A.
First up, we swung by Dinoland, U.S.A. to see if construction still looks the same in that area. Sure enough, there don’t seem to be any big changes since we last checked in.

Over the past few weeks, there has been construction going on around the now-closed Primeval Whirl attraction. We’ll be keeping an eye out for updates!

There is now a Lightning Lane sign posted at the Animation Experience at Conservation Station ahead of the launch of Disney Genie+ next week!
