New Animal Kingdom Guidemap Officially Erases The Boneyard
It’s official, Dino-Diggers: The Boneyard has gone extinct at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. A brand-new guidemap for the park has been released, and the long-running play area in DinoLand U.S.A. has been completely removed from the park’s offerings.
The updated map, now available to guests, reflects the recent closure of The Boneyard. Where colorful slides and rope bridges once entertained budding paleontologists, the area is now simply covered with trees on the paper layout. The only remaining attractions in DinoLand U.S.A. are DINOSAUR and Restaurantosaurus, signaling just how close this land is to extinction.

The map’s cover features a new animal spotlight: the goats that were added to Kilimanjaro Safaris back in 2020. Inside, the “Alive with Magic” section highlights experiences across the park like Rafiki’s Planet Watch, animal trails, Wilderness Explorers, and live shows. Disney even slipped in a pointed reminder that this year is the last to experience DinoLand U.S.A. “before it goes extinct.”
On the back, the map sticks with the usual fare — park rules, payment options, and guest services information. But the real standout is what’s missing. The Boneyard has vanished not only from the illustrated pathways but also from the official attraction list. Guests unfolding the map will only see a leafy section where the playground once stood.

While The Boneyard’s closure is bittersweet for many families who loved its climbing nets and fossil dig pits, its removal is another sign that change is on the horizon. Disney has already hinted at what’s next for the land, with plans to transform DinoLand into something entirely new. For now, though, the guidemap makes it clear: the dig site has been retired, and DinoLand is counting down its final days.
