A new Disney’s Animal Kingdom guidemap debuted and Disney updated the park’s braille map following the permanent closure of “It’s Tough To Be A Bug.”

The guidemap cover features a child with binoculars looking up at the sky. Park rules are on the back. Information about select offerings and My Disney Experience are in the first fold.

Another page includes guest services and transportation information. Then there’s the legend and list of attractions, restaurants, shops, and more.

Theme park map section showing Discovery Island with attractions, dining, and shopping highlighted. Features include animal exhibits, trails, and dining options like Flame Tree Barbecue and Pizzafari.

“It’s Tough To Be A Bug” is no longer listed under Discovery Island, which means the numbers for other items have changed.

Theme park map with labeled sections including Africa, Asia, Discovery Island, Dinoland U.S.A., and Pandora. Various attractions, paths, and features are indicated with icons and colors.

Of course, the Tree of Life is still pictured on the map.

Now, however, there’s no number on the Tree of Life.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Braille Map Updated

A guidemap of Disney's Animal Kingdom, featuring attractions and eateries marked with icons, is displayed on a large green board at the park entrance. A special Braille map ensures accessibility for all visitors.

The “It’s Tough To Be A Bug” text on the park’s braille map was shaved off.

A beautifully framed guidemap of Disney's Animal Kingdom showcases attractions like "Finding Nemo," "Dinosaur," and "Discovery River," with pathways and color-coded areas. The map is accessible, featuring Braille for an inclusive adventure.

Parts of DinoLand U.S.A. were also shaved off of the map. Previously, they were just covered with a green decal. The decal remains but looks much neater.

Compare to our photos of the map from last week:

The braille map is located on Discovery Island, just past the bridge, on the left.

Revisit “It’s Tough To Be A Bug,” which closed permanently on Sunday, March 16. It will be replaced by “Zootopia: Better Zoogether!” this winter.
