Trilo-Bites and Dino Bite Snacks Set to Close Permanently as Harambe Market Prepares for Temporary Shutdown at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is getting ready for some major menu shakeups as the park continues its transformation from DinoLand U.S.A. into the brand-new Tropical Americas. Disney has officially announced that two longtime snack spots, Trilo-Bites and Dino Bite Snacks, will close permanently later this month, while Harambe Market in the Africa section will undergo a temporary closure for refurbishment.

The final day to grab your favorite snacks from Trilo-Bites or Dino Bite Snacks will be October 19, 2025, with both locations closing for good on October 20. Trilo-Bites, located near the main entrance to DinoLand, is best known for its buffalo chicken chips and refreshing floats. Dino Bite Snacks, tucked next to Restaurantosaurus, has long been a go-to for hand-scooped ice cream sandwiches.
These closures mark another major milestone in the phased retirement of DinoLand U.S.A., which is being reimagined into a vibrant new Tropical Americas land inspired by regions of Central and South America — a setting that will include the upcoming Indiana Jones adventure ride (a reimagining of DINOSAUR) and a new quick-service restaurant in place of Restaurantosaurus. While both snack stands are closing in their current form, there’s a chance they could return with a fresh look and new menu items to match the land’s tropical theme rather than being demolished completely.

Over in Africa, Harambe Market will also serve its last meal of the year on October 19, before temporarily closing for refurbishment. Disney plans to reopen it in early 2026, reportedly with a new menu featuring hamburgers and chicken nuggets — likely to help fill the quick-service gap once Restaurantosaurus closes after February 1, 2026.
As Animal Kingdom’s evolution continues, the park’s food landscape is clearly shifting right along with it. From dino-sized bites to tropical flavors, guests can expect a totally new dining experience when these refreshed locations reopen next year.
