Opening Date Announced for This Animal Kingdom Attraction

It feels like Disney has shared a lot of refurbishment closures lately, however, they have now announced a reopening date for one attraction! Find out which attraction and when Guests can enjoy it again.

Animal Kingdom Closures

A lot is changing at Animal Kingdom right now. DinoLand is about to be extinct at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. An entire new land is on the way. It is set to be themed around Tropical Americas! We can’t wait to see Welcome to Pueblo Esperanza!

It’s Tough to Be a Bug will permanently close on March 17th making way for a new Zootopia attraction.

Luckily, one attraction only closed for its yearly refurbishment. On January 6, 2025, Kali River Rapids temporarily closed. At the time of the closure announcement, no reopening date had been set.

Reopening Date Announced

Soon Guests will once again be able to enjoy Kali River Rapids! The attraction is set to welcome Guests back on March 14th!

Kali River Rapids is set to welcome Guests back on March 14th!

The multi-month refurbishment is part of Kali River Rapids’ yearly refurbishment schedule.

What Does This Mean for You?

The attraction reopening soon is great news ahead of the Spring Break crowds. Animal Kingdom already has limited offerings due to the many closures, which makes many feel that this is a “half-day park.”

Kali River Rapids will open just in time for Spring BreaK crowds.

With heavy crowds expected during Spring Break and limited attractions in Animal Kingdom, be sure to have a good park touring strategy. We recommend using Character Locator!
