AK Tomorrow: It's Under Construction — Read This Before You Go

Advice for 2026-09-19 · Published Sep 18, 2026, 9:01 PM ET

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

Garsh, folks — this one's important, so listen close: Animal Kingdom is currently at basically ZERO percent health. The entire park is in refurb, and that means TEN attractions are shut — Na'vi River Journey, Kilimanjaro Safaris, Kali River Rapids, Expedition Everest, Zootopia: Better Zoogether!, the Wildlife Express Train, and Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail, plus a few smaller venues. That's most of the reason folks go there! So unless you're dead set on the decor and some live animal viewing from the open paths, you might wanna reroute your tomorrow to another park. If you're committed anyway, pair it with a low-crowd Magic Kingdom or Hollywood Studios day instead. Don't make the mistake of payin' full price to walk into a big construction zone — ol' Goofy's learned his lesson for you.
