Overview
- The Wildlife Express Train, Affection Station, Animation Experience, and Conservation Station will all close starting February 23, 2026.
- Because the train is the only guest route, Rafiki's Planet Watch will be inaccessible until its summer reopening.
- Disney says the area is being transformed into a new Bluey experience planned for the Cool Kids' Summer window from May 26 to September 8, with exact dates not yet announced.
- The Wildlife Express Train and Conservation Station are slated to return when the Bluey offering debuts, while timing for the Affection Station and Animation Experience remains unconfirmed and could extend into fall per reports.
- The move follows the February 2 permanent closure of DinoLand U.S.A. and DINOSAUR to make way for the Tropical Americas project.
