DAK Has Zero Headliners Runnin' — Rethink Today's Plan

Advice for 2026-09-17 · Published Sep 17, 2026, 7:16 AM ET

Archived briefing. Hours, prices, availability, and recommendations may have changed. Check today’s dashboard.

Gawrsh, folks — I've been runnin' the numbers all morning and there's a real one: Animal Kingdom is lookin' rough today. Na'vi River Journey, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Kali River Rapids, Expedition Everest, and even the brand-new Zootopia: Better Zoogether! are all closed per Basil's scan. Before you drive out there, give 'em a call or check the app — I can't confirm it's a park-wide refresh versus a data glitch, so don't stake your whole day on it. If they're shut, the smart move is EPCOT. It's the perfect Food & Wine day: hop on Guardians: Cosmic Rewind (65 min) or Test Track (50 min) at rope drop, then work your way through the Mexico booth for a Tostada de Osso Buco at $8.25. A-hyuck! I'll save you the DAK drive if there's nowhere to roam.
