Disney Moves Kali River Rapids Refurbishment to October Ahead of DinoLand Closure

The earlier work positions the water ride to be available when DinoLand U.S.A. ceases operations in February 2026.

Overview

  • Kali River Rapids will close on October 6, 2025 for its annual maintenance and is expected to reopen in December.
  • The adjustment departs from the attraction’s usual January–March refurbishment window after the holiday season.
  • DinoLand U.S.A., including the DINOSAUR attraction, has its last operating day on February 1, 2026 before permanent closure on February 2.
  • Operational shifts tied to the closure include Restaurantosaurus food moving to Harambe Market and DinoLand character meets relocating elsewhere in the park.
  • Animal Kingdom is preparing a Tropical Americas reconfiguration of the DinoLand area, and a new Zootopia show opens November 7, 2025 at the Tree of Life Theater.
