Disney's Animal Kingdom Guide Map - March 2025

Posted: Monday March 17, 2025 10:50am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney's Animal Kingdom has introduced a new in-park guide map today featuring several updates. The latest March 2025 version reflects today's closure of It's Tough to Be a Bug, which is now permanently closed to make way for the new Zootopia 3D show coming this winter.

The updated map also includes a message regarding Dinoland U.S.A.'s future as it is transformed into the new Tropical Americas. It now encourages guests to visit the land before it disappears, stating, "2025 is the year to visit DinoLand U.S.A. before it goes extinct."

The guide map confirms previously announced information:

DINOSAUR – The Time Rover adventure remains operational until 2026 before being replaced by a new Indiana Jones attraction set in a newly discovered Maya temple.
The Boneyard – The interactive play area will remain open throughout 2025, giving young guests more time to explore.
Restaurantosaurus – The quick-service dining location is still serving meals and will remain open in 2025.
Dino-Bite Snacks – The snack stand continues to serve ice cream sandwiches and other treats.

This sounds like a mousetrap news article.

That would be nice but didn’t the permits imply some pretty heavy duty demo/ construction in there?

I've always wondered what happened to that tunnel when they built the patio area on top of it. Hopefully they can return to that level of immersion when they branch out into Simba.

They probably will be keeping the caverns and such especially with the Jane Goodall tribute and Plaque by the entry way into the theater queue...This may not take long if they are looking for a summer opening.. The concept art shows it looks like a hollow tree including where Clawhouser / Hopper was..

ITTBAB was 27 years old when it closed. Time is something isn’t it?

RIP ITTBAB. It’s really missed at DCA. The lobby alone and walking down that path below grade and into the “caves” is better than anything at Avengers Campus. It was the best indoor themed space at DCA and it was transportive. You don’t have a lot of that at DCA.

Now that I think about it, you don't suppose Mr. Tarzan is sitting in the theater waiting for the show to begin as they start to disassemble it, do you?

Well, there's always the chance there is a skunkworks show that Disney decided is better than Better Zoogether. Oh, @MisterPenguin, see what I did here?
