Disney Confirms Feb. 1 Final Day for DinoLand’s Last Venues at Animal Kingdom
The closures clear the way for the Tropical Americas–themed Pueblo Esperanza expansion featuring an Encanto attraction alongside a new Indiana Jones experience.
Overview
- Disney Experiences says Restaurantosaurus and DINOSAUR will operate through February 1, 2026, with permanent closures taking effect on February 2.
- Redevelopment will extend across the former DinoLand footprint as work accelerates on the Pueblo Esperanza project.
- Construction on the Encanto-themed attraction has gone vertical, drawing from Antonio Madrigal’s bedroom concept from the 2021 film.
- DINOSAUR’s ride system is expected to be reimagined for an Indiana Jones ride that Disney says will be unlike any other version worldwide.
- The move follows 2025 closures of Dino-Bites Snacks, Trilo-Bites, and The Boneyard, ending the 27-year run of the original land as the new area is tentatively targeted for a 2027 debut.
