Overview
- Multiple permit filings made public in early June name Landscape Structures, Inc. as the contractor for a playground in the Tropical Americas area of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
- Separate general construction permits award work to Whiting‑Turner for several former DinoLand U.S.A. sites, including addresses tied to TriceraTop Spin and The Boneyard.
- Planning documents place the playground on the Cretaceous Trail near DINOSAUR and Restaurantosaurus and show basic equipment such as slides and climbing elements.
- Work across trades is already visible on site with recent steel framing, concrete and HVAC activity reported, while interior scenic and show‑system installation remain the critical path for the project schedule.
- The filings build on Disney’s announced Tropical Americas lineup of an Encanto family attraction and an Indiana Jones retheme of DINOSAUR and signal a shift toward more family‑focused spaces in Animal Kingdom ahead of the planned 2027 opening.
