Disney has allocated more than four million dollars toward the development of its Tropical Americas area at Animal Kingdom. The investment covers initial demolition, electrical work, and construction for key features including new rides and play areas. The project forms part of a much larger long-term plan for the Orlando resort.

Disney has released the final demolition timeline for a major expansion at its Animal Kingdom theme park. The closure of DinoLand U.S.A. on February 2, 2026, has cleared space for the new Tropical Americas land. This project will feature attractions inspired by Encanto and Indiana Jones, along with a Bluey experience.
