Disney Files Permit for Feathered Friends in Flight Theater Construction at Animal Kingdom
A new construction permit has taken flight at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and this one lands right in the heart of Asia. Walt Disney World has filed paperwork for work at the Caravan Theater, home to the popular Feathered Friends in Flight! bird show. The Notice of Commencement lists Disney’s own Buena Vista Construction Company providing labor, materials, and electrical work, which usually points to behind the scenes updates rather than a full scale show overhaul.

Interestingly, the permit was not filed by Walt Disney Imagineering, suggesting guests should not expect any major creative changes to the theater or the show itself. That said, a temporary closure for refurbishment is always a possibility while work is underway, though Disney has not announced any downtime yet. The permit was officially filed on January 21 and is valid for one year, giving Disney plenty of flexibility to schedule the work around park operations.

Feathered Friends in Flight! became the permanent resident of the Caravan Theater in 2020, replacing Up! A Great Bird Adventure after initially debuting as a socially distanced option. The show typically runs multiple times daily at 10:45 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 1:45 p.m., 2:45 p.m., and 3:45 p.m., making it a reliable break from the Animal Kingdom heat. For now, the birds are still soaring, but we will be keeping an eye out to see if this permit leads to a brief landing for some backstage TLC.
