I general agree, though Frozen Ever After isn't taking you through the story of the movie, it is set after the film and is a different story

Calling what FEA does a “story” is far too kind.

It’s really little more a mish-mash of random recognizable things from the movie.

Yes, it's not a 'story.' But it isn't a mishmash, either. It has six specific 'story beats' each introduced by a narrator or spoken dialogue from a movie...

If we got really far back Peter Pan's Flight opened at Disneyland about 2.5 year after the movie was first released.

In more recent history, Stitch's Great Escape opened Nov 2004, following the movie's June 2002 release.

Seas with Nemo and Friends was 2006, Finding Nemo 2003.

GotG 1 was 2014, Mission Breakout 2017.

I'm sure there are other examples.

They need more rides at AK.
I like dinosaur. I understand some folks want it to be rethemed to Indiana Jones. I would be OK with that but the higher priority should be more rides as the park does not have enough so taking down Dinosaur would be a misstake until there is more to do.

Hopefully they do it in stages where they add the Encanto part first and open that before taking Dinosaur down (assuming any of this actually happens)

If you count the Sleeping Beauty walkthrough in the Castle at Disneyland as an attraction that came out before the movie came out

But definitely in more recent times it seemed to take a while before they would invest in a full ride (rather do parades, shows, etc). I mean, how long until a Little Mermaid ride came out

I think It’s Tough to be a Bug at DAK opened before Bug’s Life came out

It’s a mistake regardless. Dinosaurs deserve a permanent spot at Animal Kingdom.

So what are our expectations here? No closure date has been announced for DINOSAUR, logic would tell me that Country Bears, Test Track and DINOSAUR should all close in January, but I suspect none of that will happen.

From what I’ve heard, Dinoland should be closed next year. Maybe the new South/Central American land will open in 2027/2028?

Logic tells me they’ll announce another plan next August and Dinosaur will not close until after that at the very earliest.
