Animal Kingdom Closes Harambe Market as Trilo-Bites and Dino-Bite Permanently Shutter for Tropical Americas Overhaul

Disney targets early 2026 for Harambe Market’s return with a burger-and-chicken menu to cover Restaurantosaurus’ planned February shutdown.

Overview

  • Trilo-Bites and Dino-Bite Snacks in DinoLand U.S.A. are now permanently closed, marking the latest step in the park’s phased Tropical Americas transformation.
  • During Harambe Market’s refurbishment, its outdoor seating remains accessible and signage directs guests to Flame Tree Barbecue, Pizzafari, and Restaurantosaurus.
  • Buffalo Chicken Chips move to Eight Spoon Cafe on Discovery Island, and flavored DOLE Whip floats shift to Warung Outpost in Asia.
  • Hand-scooped ice cream service pauses until February 2026 after Dino-Bite’s closure, with soft-serve and floats available at Tamu Tamu Refreshments and the Anandapur Ice Cream Truck.
  • Kusafiri Coffee & Bakery has expanded lunch options during the shutdown, as construction walls, cranes, and rerouted walkways signal continued work ahead of February closures for DINOSAUR and Restaurantosaurus.
