What’s New

Coming in 2016 – Disney has announced a partnership with director James Cameron to build a land themed to the movie Avatar. So far, few details have been announced, but it does look like the new Avatar-themed land will take over Camp Minnie-Mickey.

Coming late 2012 – The character meet and greets currently held on the trails in Camp Minnie-Mickey are expected to be moved to Discovery Island. The current Beastly Bazaar shop is slated to close in August to be converted to the new meet and greet location.

Coming Fall 2012 – Zebras will once again be on the main part of the reserve at Kilimanjaro Safaris. The new habitat is being constructed this summer in the final scenes of the ride, removing the poacher camp and Little Red. You can see construction progress in the video below from mid-May.

May 29, 2012 – Through August 25th, you can save $50 on the Wild Africa Trek at Animal Kingdom for tours starting after 11:45 a.m. The regular price of the tour is $189.
