Disney Starts DinoLand U.S.A. Teardown as Reports Point to DINOSAUR Closing in Early February 2026

Tropical Americas featuring Encanto alongside an Indiana Jones experience is targeted for a 2027 debut.

Overview

  • The Boneyard playground closed on September 1, with foliage and canopies now removed and new construction walls rerouting guests through a longer path.
  • Multiple outlets report the remainder of DinoLand, including the DINOSAUR attraction and nearby dining and retail, will operate through early February 2026, with dates cited as February 1–2.
  • Plans call for the DINOSAUR ride system to be reimagined for an Indiana Jones attraction as part of the Tropical Americas overhaul, based on reporting from fan sites.
  • Site preparation and phased closures accelerated in 2025, with portions of the land shuttered earlier this year and visible clearance work continuing this month.
  • News of the end date has prompted fans to adjust 2026 trips to experience DINOSAUR one last time, even as Disney advances broader park refreshes that include the proposed Piston Peak area at Magic Kingdom.
