Zootopia: Better Zoogether! Takes a Major Step Forward with New Disney Construction Permit
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is gearing up for its next big transformation! Walt Disney Imagineering has filed a new construction permit for Zootopia: Better Zoogether!, the upcoming attraction that will bring the vibrant world of Zootopia to life inside the Tree of Life Theater.
The permit, assigned to Icarus Exhibits, signals the start of set installation, suggesting that themed elements and staging for the attraction will soon be underway. This follows another recently filed permit for general construction, electrical work, and area development—hinting at a significant overhaul of the theater space before the show’s debut in winter 2025.

Zootopia: Better Zoogether! is expected to transport guests into the animated city’s unique biomes, introducing them to characters from the hit 2016 film through a combination of 3D projection technology, immersive effects, and animatronic elements. While Disney has yet to reveal all the details, the experience promises to be a dynamic and engaging addition to the park—and the first permanent Zootopia-themed attraction at Walt Disney World.
To make way for the new show, It’s Tough to be a Bug! will close permanently on March 17, 2025. A staple of Animal Kingdom since the park’s opening in 1998, the attraction has long entertained guests with its mix of in-theater effects, animatronics, and 3D visuals featuring characters from A Bug’s Life.
