Walt Disney Imagineering is working to transform Dinoland U.S.A. at Animal Kingdom into a new land featuring attractions inspired by Encanto and Indiana Jones.
These plans were unveiled at the Destination D23 2023 event, which took place in early September.

Scientists estimate that the final best by date for DNA is about a million years after an organism's death, and that's only under the exact right conditions. We're about 65 million years too late for retrieving viable dinosaur DNA.
It's been a long time coming, but at Destination D23 in September Disney finally confirmed that Dinoland USA will be replaced. Specifically, they're saying it's going to be replaced by a land themed to “Tropical Americas”. In this post, I'm going to highlight my five biggest hopes for this transformation.

The film had a shortened 30-day theatrical window and then debuted on Disney+ on December 24. That's when it really became a breakout success, third-party data shows.
Imagineers are going to "reimagine" the area currently known as Dinoland U.S.A in Disney's Animal Kingdom. There are currently Africa and Asia sections of the park, so this new area will be inspired by "tropical Americas," which was described as the biodiverse areas near the equator.
More grandly, Dinoland U.S.A. at Disney's Animal Kingdom will become a new land “inspired by a region sometimes referred to as 'tropical Americas. '” Imagineers are exploring regions just north and south of the equator – the northern part of South America, stretching up into Central America – for inspiration.
