Guests visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom will find a new guide map for the theme park as Bluey joins the lineup this morning. The map was most recently updated in February 2026 following the overnight closure of the DINOSAUR attraction and DinoLand USA. Now, the new map has some changes, the most notable being the arrival of Bluey’s Wild World. Here’s the latest!

Bluey’s Wild World Makes Its Map Debut
The biggest addition on the new map is Bluey’s Wild World, which appears for the first time alongside its animal interaction attraction, Jumping Junction.
Conservation Station Gets Its Own Land
Rafiki’s Planet Watch has been renamed Conservation Station on the new map. Beyond the name change, Conservation Station is now listed as its own dedicated land rather than being grouped under Africa, a notable structural shift in how Animal Kingdom’s map is organized. We’ve reached out to Disney to try and learn more.
A Few Other Updates Worth Noting
Zootopia: Better Zoogether is no longer labeled as “NEW” on the updated map, a standard change as the attraction settles into the park’s regular lineup. Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail has also dropped its previous “sponsored by OFF! Repellents” listing. Two experiences have been removed from the map entirely: Affection Section and The Animation Experience at Conservation Station are no longer listed.
