The newly released map also acknowledges the impending transformation of Dinoland U.S.A. into the Tropical Americas, urging guests to experience the area before it’s gone. A clear message on the map states, “2025 is the year to visit DinoLand U.S.A. before it goes extinct,” highlighting the limited time remaining.
The updated guide map reinforces previously announced details regarding Dinoland U.S.A.’s transition: the DINOSAUR attraction will continue its Time Rover adventures until 2026, after which it will be transformed into a new Indiana Jones experience set within a recently discovered Maya temple; The Boneyard interactive play area will remain accessible throughout 2025, providing young guests with additional opportunities for exploration; Restaurantosaurus will maintain its quick-service dining operations throughout 2025; and Dino-Bite Snacks will continue to offer its selection of ice cream sandwiches and other treats.
“It’s Tough to be a Bug!” was located within the iconic Tree of Life, the centerpiece of Animal Kingdom. While the attraction is now closed, the Tree of Life itself remains a prominent feature of the park, clearly visible in the center of the map and throughout the park. The Discovery Island Trail is now the sole tree-related attraction listed, offering guests the opportunity to walk around the Tree of Life and appreciate its intricate animal carvings.
