I'm still hoping for a Boy Who Talked to Badgers mini land. It would be a nice crossover of humans and wild animals interacting together in harmony.

Starting to get it!
It's more like Ranger Rick, which is exactly what you would expect in Animal Kingdom.
For anyone going on the last day:

Sources say they may be doing a U-turn on this now and reverting tree back to original bugs life show). So looks like we can say zoo topia is NO GO AND. Bugs life is here. Can’t say same for Dino land. May be completely gone. But more to learn coming up
So you still sticking with this prediction. I mean you are an “insider”. And what is your accuracy percentage for your predictions? Are you up to 107.3% like WDWPro?

Dinoland MAY be gone guys! It takes a special type to say something may be gone as its being demolished.
Facebook randomly decided I needed to see the March movie schedule on Free-form. Look at March 22nd - Coincidence? I think.... NOT!!!!

I know the words you wrote are in English but I have no idea what you are trying to say.

Well I guess its gonna be tougher to be a bug now that their awareness video is going away. Im sure there will be plenty of roach motels waiting for them though. Orlando has a ton of them. This must be part of disney's efforts to squash bugs in their system. Im just wondering how they plan to get rid of the rest. Maybe a little roundup or they could always make a deal with universal to create a fear factor restaurant. People can try the "Its tough to eat a bug" challenge. Then again that is probably not the most disturbing item people have eaten in orlando. Well they will have a new problem to deal with now at disney. While they may have just got rid of all their bugs they now have something even more scary that will be excited about this new show, furries. Good luck explaining that one disney. hehe

I will reiterate from way back - It’s tough to be a bug had a good run. Ok with using Zootopia in a standalone attraction inside the tree of life. The issue is do they even have the imagineers left that can pull off even this smaller attraction. I think most of them left and are opening Epic Universe

This guy was trying to say that ITTBAB & possibly Dinoland were going to be staying as permits + actual destruction is happening.

Can we please, PLEASE stop with the damn backlash over this idea? I am a massive fan of this property and I am so, so tired of the lack of Zootopia content in the western parks, when Disney KNOWS America loves this movie as much as China and we want more of it? They’re animals, and then being toony furry type characters shouldn’t matter for an Animal Kingdom setting because PEOPLE JUST LIKE THIS MOVIE. That’s enough!
Why can’t you just let us Zootopia fan have this? I love A Bug’s Life too, but please, enough of the hate already! It’s bad enough that we had to wait nine years for a sequel to my favorite buddy cop movie, while the same old princess stuff kept getting shoved in my face over and over. Just let me enjoy a Judy attraction without being shamed for it.

You can like the idea, but why do you think that others have to have some kind of special reverence for what you want? Just as you value Zootopia, others value the thematic integrity of Animal Kingdom. I could just as easily say, “Why can’t you just let Animal Kingdom fans have this?” but won’t, because that’s silly.

Made an account just to say all this?
Okay, here's my why. It doesn't fit Animal Kingdom. I have no problem with people liking the film. It does have some problematic racial messaging considering who the predators are meant to be an analogy for and it implies that they are naturally blood-thirsty killing machines without intellect, but I also understand that was an oversight by writers trying to churn out a Disney movie that met studio demands.
But the simple fact is...the IP doesn't fit in Animal Kingdom. They could build a Zootopia attraction at Epcot in the Wonders of Life pavilion and have it focus on how foods affect us and our bodies. Or on how cities are communities are built and designed for the citizens in mind. Or it could go in Disney Studios without issue or clever writing.
I don't think people are objecting to WDW getting a Zootopia themed attraction, its rather where and how it is being implemented. I love Guardians as a franchise but hate that both attractions don't fit the park that they are in and feel cheaply themed.

For the love of god, Zootopia is NOT PROBLEMATIC. No group of animals represents any particular group! There is nothing insulting in its allegory, and allegories do not need to be perfectly accurate to have value to kids! This movie does not harm minorities, its message is going to hold up forever, and I’m fed up with this film constantly being misunderstood and vilified. If you’re truly okay with the franchise, why would you attack and totally misrepresent its themes like that?
What about the many, many kids of color who have no issue with Nick and Judy, and would love to see them (more) at the parks, regardless of the location?
