Reminder: Today is the Final Day To Visit Rafiki's Planet Watch and The Wildlife Express Train Before Refurbishment Closure

The Wildlife Express Train and Rafiki’s Planet Watch at Disney’s Animal Kingdom will temporarily close starting tomorrow ahead of the forthcoming Bluey experience.

Guests who want to visit the Wildlife Express Train and Affection Section should be sure to stop by today before tomorrow’s temporary closure. There is still no update as to when they will both reopen for the new Bluey experience, other than that it will arrive this summer. The experience will include dances and games with Bluey and Bingo, a meet and greet, and animals from the Heelers’ home country of Australia.

It’s rumored that Affection Section, the area’s petting zoo, will permanently close, but the park website currently states that the closure is temporary. The Animation Experience, currently housed at Conservation Station, is closing and may move to The Magic of Disney Animation, also opening this summer at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
