Colorful lights form a dinosaur shape over the Dinoland entrance, with a sign reading "Donald's Dino-Bash" at night. Decorations include dinosaur motifs and tropical plants, making it feel like a prehistoric party zone.

Our dinosaur friend was covered in lights from head to tail. It was sparkling as the lights changed from a stagnant rainbow to a sparkle of different colors, set to music.

The decorations and effects aren’t new, but we’re happy to see them back, even with rumors of extinction on the horizon.
