I think this is the old C&H gas station gift shop. I assume they will re-use the building and keep it as a gift shop

I apologize, I was confused in my last post. What I meant to ask was, do we think the old C&H gift shop will be solely Indy or like a general TA gift shop that has a bunch of Encanto and some Indy?

I just realized I completely forgot the, rather small, gift shop you exit Dinosaur into. I'm sure that small gift shop will be solely Indy, and C&H will turn into a bigger TA gift shop (or maybe something else entirely?)

Gottcha, when you said "at the end of Dinosaur" I assumed you meant the exit gift shop.

My assumption would be Indy exit giftshop will still exist with like 90% Indy merch. C&H gas station will be like 50% encanto, 25% other tropical Americas, 25% generic Disney. That giftshop is pretty large if I remember right so I doubt they would build an attraction exit shop.

Got to assume the Mirable meet and greet will move from MK to AK when Tropical Americas opens. Could they add a gift shop to the Encanto show building for Encanto merch, Indiana Jones merch in the Dino Institute store and Chester and Hester's be converted into a meet and greet space?

Yeah, that was my mistake! I always exit Dinosaur and take the path that ends at C&H and, for some reason, in my head, I associate it as the Dinosaur exit gift shop, even though it is not at all that haha!

It is a large gift shop, and has some of the best merch as well!

No
Originally, it broke free and went to the side of the river close to the institute to splash in the water as you saw him on the former Discovery River Tour..

Then some French people came and captured him and skinned him alive and was a part of the backlot tour at Disney Studios Paris..

Still baffles me to this day why they did this.

Wow Disney is already clearing land you know what that means... only 5 more years until the attraction opens 😂
To be fair, it looks like they've changed now as they know they have a brand new park to go up against. Pandora's land clearing started in 2014 and opened in 2017. So if this opens up in 2027 then that's progress.

They've known for years they would have a brand new park to go up against. Two months before that new park opens is not the time to start work on new projects.

Why not? Do you seriously think Disney was gonna release a new land this year? That would be a stupid idea and I don’t know how people don’t understand this concept. Disney knows to let universal “have this omelette since they’re gonna be hurting financially as they recover the major costs of the new park and are trying to figure out operations. Universal is going to stagnate at their other parks as the money flow gets adjusted and then Disney will have a planned 2-4 summers worth of announcements that will help them

Really its 2026 that's Disney biggest problem for new offerings (Millennium Falcon new mission and Buzz Lightyear's new gun at the moment) 2025 WDW at least has 2 new shows at HS, Epcot's Test Track 3.0, MK's new night parade and AK's Zootopia show

Zootopia is very late this year so almost a 2026 offering and will have updated Big Thunder, but yeah, not a ton unless they add some other entertainment. Could be another update like Buzz coming too
