Heads up if you are planning to visit Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Some areas will not be open.
Closures and Refurbishments
You may have spent months planning your Disney World vacation, but planning for all of the various closures and refurbishments that happen at Walt Disney World are more difficult to plan for. We constantly see attractions, lands, restaurants, shops and more close and reopen briefly or sometimes even longer for refurbishments or for other reasons.
Whatever the case, these are necessary in order to keep the park up and running. Everything needs to be in good order for the constant flow of guests visiting the parks each and every day.
Rafiki Planet Watch
Rafiki Planet Watch at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is home to an Animal Viewing Location, Conservation Station, Affection Section and The Animation Experience at Conservation Station. Guests can access this area by taking the Wildlife Express Train.
In this area of the park, guests can pet various animals and learn about animal care. It’s a great place to take children or those guests who love animals and would prefer something else to do other than ride attractions.
Brief Closure
According to Disney’s website, all of Rafiki Planet Watch, including the Wildlife Express Train will be closed tomorrow, July 12, 2023. Fortunately, this is a very brief closure and the entire area will reopen to guests on Thursday, July 13, 2023.
Rafiki Planet Watch and the Wildlife Express Train will be temporarily closed to guests on July 12, 2023.
We are glad that this is a very brief closure.
