DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

[The Leader of the Club]

The site we don't say has pictures of more trees being removed from around the DINOSAUR showbuilding. Could a closure date come at D23 or is it too soon?

I feel like we’re going to get some kind of closure date at D23. It may just be “Dinoland will be closing next year,” but I feel like it’ll be mentioned. My hope is that they announce a “Countdown to Extinction” event to give fans the chance to say goodbye to Dinosaur.

I highly doubt they'll give the closing date at d23. They'll probably give and opening timeline of Tropical Americas and then put the closing date either on the website or parks blog.

Hate to say it, but the other site kinda has a point.
Though one thing could be said about its intensity and such, and the splash lack of animatronics.

I didn't expect to see any action around Dino so soon

I wonder if the whole land will close at the same time then

I was expecting Dinosaur to continue operation during the first year of Encanto construction

DAK is gonna be miserable if this is true.

I couldn't see any of the changes in any of the photos from the article about the trees front the site that shall not be named. So was there any actual changes cause like I said I can't tell.

There was an earlier post from someone elsewhere that claimed the same thing months ago, and it just turned out the show building had always been a bit visible. I think it’s the same case here where someone’s looking for a change and just noticed a spot where the trees had been thin for a long time.

especially of they close ITTBTB at the same time (I'm hoping they just keep it)

I agree, I really do hope they give fans advance notice of the the closure.

I was going to joke how Disney is really good at closing stuff but if they don’t give advance notice of this closure, they messed that up too.

Any sign Disney is actually going to build something new soon (even if it's a re-theme) is a win to me. That's how low my bar is for new projects at this point.

On a side note I'm actually really looking forward to Tropical Americas. I think Dinoland had some nice parts but overall just felt cheap and poor theming, not to mention the black paths and no shade made it awful in the summer.

at the moment I don’t believe the Zootopia project has moved forward but maybe others have heard otherwise.

Like when you said this:

I don’t think Zootopia is going anywhere at all at the moment.

Only to have Disney all but confirm that the land's coming?

 

[Advisable Joseph]

Things can change, but the Tree of Life announcement was not Blue Sky, and the thought that it won't happen feels like massive wishful thinking. Brace for it to come.

It's not going to be about humans, other than the audience. It would probably be a touch weird in Hollywood Studios, constantly talking about wildlife.

Please guys, look up Ranger Rick Magazine.

Totally agree.

Has it been discussed that they’re calling it Tropical Americas and not Latin America? Feels like they’re emphasizing an ecological region rather than a cultural one, which I think is the right decision for this park (and I say that as a Latino). Of course we’ll want to see a richly developed town as with Anandapur and Harambe, but gives me a little extra hope they’re developing this land to serve the park’s mission

When did Disney confirm a Zootopia land for WDW? Must’ve missed that!

 

[KDM31091]

Logistically, how in the world would the park handle the Tree of Life and all of Dinoland closed at once?

There must be a plan to execute all this in phases

Is this the same site that reported earlier removal of trees that were never there to begin with??

They got their clicks from it, but there have been no trees removed. At most, some trees may have been trimmed back, but not removed. Even that site doesn't provide evidence of removal. Clickbait garbage, once again

Definitely possible, though I think the term “Latin America” has lately become less favored, so it may just be a response to that.

Latin America would be too broad an area. They are focusing on tropical Americas. Latin America would include other bioms.
