Concrete Forms Rise as Tropical Americas Construction Pushes Forward at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Construction continues to pick up speed on Tropical Americas at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and new signs of progress are now visible above the construction walls. Crews have installed several large concrete forms that will eventually become part of the infrastructure for the highly anticipated land replacing DinoLand U.S.A.

Guests can spot a row of concrete forms near the future carousel location, with worker platforms and railings already in place. These structures allow construction teams to access the tops of the forms as they prepare to pour concrete for upcoming walls or foundations. Additional forms have also appeared closer to Theater in the Wild, where Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond! continues to entertain guests.
Elsewhere in the project, more “go-away green” paneling has been added to the exterior of the future Encanto attraction show building. The building will eventually be disguised with lush landscaping and a Casita-inspired façade, helping it blend seamlessly into the land’s tropical setting.

When Tropical Americas opens, guests will be able to experience an Encanto-themed attraction, a brand-new Indiana Jones adventure, and a colorful carousel inspired by the region. While much of the work is still taking place behind the scenes, each new concrete form and construction milestone brings Disney fans one step closer to exploring this exciting new corner of Animal Kingdom.
As construction continues to transform the former DinoLand U.S.A. footprint, Tropical Americas is quickly becoming one of the most exciting projects underway at Walt Disney World.
