Refurbishment for Dinosaur in Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been extended.
Dinosaur was supposed to reopen from refurbishment on October 17, but Disney has extended the closure until at least November 20, 2016. Guests are now receiving emails like the one above changing their Fastpass+ to another attraction. You can login and change the one offered to something else available as well, if you like.
If you created a Touring Plan that involved Dinosaur in Character Locator, you’ll find a note with that date change. Just remove it from your plan, if you are traveling between now and November 20, 2016
Such a bummer! Both my FP+ were cancelled for rides my son won’t be able to go on. He will be so upset.
Got the email today they gave us Everest instead.
I agree with kelley. Very disappointing with the other 2 closures.
Boo! My little girl is crying now.
Wow, an extra month. Any idea why? By the way, my email didn’t suggest an alternate FastPass selection. It only said to show up to any ride that offers FastPass during park operation hours… will this actually work?
It usually books the alternate for you automatically, then you have to change it.
Hmmm, weird: I double checked and they really didn’t book an alternate. My notification says no need to book an alternate attraction in advance, just show up at one of the 6 alternate rides listed in the email any time during park hours. I kinda like having a no-planning-needed FastPass so I hope this works :) Leaving tomorrow so I’ll find out soon enough!
It’s like winning the lottery!
Such a bummer — especially with Big Thunder Mountain and Rock n Roller Coaster also closed for the window we will be there.
Same for me. My fast passes were changed to Everest, which I want to ride, but I’m not sure my nephew is tall enough for that ride. I’m thinking of changing to Kali River Rapids if possible.
I was so disappointed to get that email today. My five-year-old would be able to ride it this year and enjoy it. Last year was too scary. I guess we’ll have to plan for another time.
