Overview
- DinoLand U.S.A. is scheduled to close on February 2, 2026 to make way for the Tropical Americas land, with walls already changing how guests move to DINOSAUR and toward Expedition Everest.
- Big Thunder Mountain and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin remain under refurbishment with reopenings targeted for 2026 but without firm dates, shifting touring plans and Lightning Lane strategy.
- Food offerings are relocating within Animal Kingdom, including the Restaurantosaurus menu to Harambe Market, Buffalo Chicken Chips to Eight Spoon Cafe, and flavored DOLE Whip floats to Warung Outpost.
- Active work zones span parks, Disney Springs, and resorts, reducing available experiences at the start of the year and creating more crowded, narrower walking paths.
- Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster is expected to close for a months‑long retheme, and a new LEVEL99 challenge venue is slated to debut at Disney Springs in 2026.
