Rafiki’s Planet Watch and Wildlife Express Train to Close Feb. 23 for Temporary Bluey Experience

The shutdown prepares the Animal Kingdom outpost for a seasonal offering expected to debut with Cool KIDS' SUMMER on May 26.

Overview

  • The entire area, accessible only by the Wildlife Express Train, is scheduled to be offline for roughly three months.
  • Conservation Station offerings, including the Animation Experience, Affection Section, and veterinary viewing windows, will be unavailable during the work.
  • Disney-focused outlets report the location is planned to reopen by May 26 to host a Bluey-themed activation tied to the summer program.
  • Reports describe the Bluey overlay as temporary, with the space potentially closing again after the event ends on September 8.
  • The closures follow this month’s shutdown of DinoLand U.S.A. for the Tropical Americas project, reducing available attractions during ongoing construction.
