Disney has confirmed that Rafiki's planet watch at Animal Kingdom will be reopening July 11th with a new Animation Experience. Fastpass will be offered for the new experience.
What a great new experience! Another reason to make that fun trip on the train.
okay not to steal the thread - but didn't we see in the WoL addition in Epcot that there will be an Animation academy there as well? Don't get me wrong, I love having more than one...but is this a bit redundant?This is cool. Not only are they bringing the Animation Academy back, but I always appreciated the Planet Watch area. I finally caught a veterinary procedure a couple of trips back, and it was awesome. I learned all about this beautiful vulture and saw it up close (sedated) as it was going to have a small growth removed from it's foot. That's how I learned that this particular bird, a Ruppell's Gryphon Vulture, can fly up to 37,000 feet in the air. That's insane!

Well, we know little about what is going into the Play Pavillion. It could be somewhat different - not to mention that it's a few years away. I assume the AK version will focus specifically on animal characters, so maybe the other will focus more on human-like ones.
Yeah this doesn't feel long term to me. WoL isn't reopening this year so I don't see it as issue.Plus this article talked about how this was connected to the Lion King anniversary - made me think this is not a permanent thing (but perhaps will depending on how popular it is and what they do with Rafiki's Planet watch long term)
It was a neat area, but a little underwhelming unless they were doing a procedure on an animal. Hope they added some cool interactive activities.I'm looking forward to finding out what changes they've made that justified them closing it for so many months. I'm sure the Animation class isn't the only change.
But Dumbo, Flying Carpets, and Astro Orbiter are in completely different lands and not redundant.I don't see having a similar attraction in two different parks as being redundant. If both were in one park, that would be redundant.
