Disney Confirms Immediate Operations Shift at Animal Kingdom After Capacity Cuts

Overview

• Disney, which confirmed immediate changes Monday tied to reduced ride capacity, has not issued one detailed list of all adjustments.
• With fewer rides at full strength, most visitors are concentrating on Avatar Flight of Passage, Na'vi River Journey, Kilimanjaro Safaris, and Expedition Everest.
• Stage shows like Festival of the Lion King, Finding Nemo, and Zootopia absorb large groups at once and then release those crowds back into the same queues between performances.
• Standby lines are moving slower and Lightning Lane return slots for faster entry are disappearing sooner in the day.
• The Earth Day anniversary surge tends to hit at once, and reports say it will concentrate crowds in Pandora and Africa and fill theaters faster.
