Disney Expands Animal Kingdom Bus Depot With More Cover and Capacity
The work prepares transportation for higher attendance tied to the planned Tropical Americas land opening in 2027.
Overview
- Construction at the Animal Kingdom bus loop is extending the 2017 canopy to bring at least two additional stops under cover.
- Site updates are expected to create four new bus gates, expanding loading capacity at the depot.
- Guests may encounter minor disruptions during the build, as Disney has not announced a completion date.
- The upgrade focuses on shade and storm protection to improve comfort and organize queues during peak departures.
- Similar bus-depot expansions occurred at EPCOT earlier this year, while DinoLand U.S.A. closures continue ahead of the Tropical Americas area targeted for 2027, which reports indicate will feature Encanto and Indiana Jones attractions.
