Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park Map Update Removes Character Flotillas & More

A new Disney’s Animal Kingdom park map has been revealed featuring updated character information and visuals, following the retirement of the character flotillas. This marks the first map update since March 2023.

While retaining the familiar “Alive with Magic” tagline and park layout, Disney’s new Animal Kingdom map boasts a fresh cover image. This time, thrill-seekers scaling Expedition Everest take center stage, replacing the previous Tree of Life artwork.

Guests will no longer see the route for the retired character flotillas on the map. In their place, some beloved characters have found new permanent meet-and-greet locations. Be sure to check out the new spots for Goofy and Pluto, Pocahontas, and even Dug and Russell from Up!

The Transportation section now includes information on Minnie Vans, a convenient way to get around the park. In the Entertainment section, you’ll notice some updates: the Character Flotillas and Feathered Friends in Flight have been removed, while details for Character Greetings, Finding Nemo: The Big Blue…and Beyond!, and the newly-imaged Tusker House Restaurant have been added. This refreshed map ensures you have all the latest info for a magical Animal Kingdom adventure!
