Disney's Animal Kingdom News Roundup for December 9, 2015: Kali Refurb and new store

Kali River Refurb: As is often the case with water based attractions, the Kali River Rapids will go down in the middle of winter for a 5 week refurbishment. The closure will start on January 5th and end on February 11th. There will likely not be any noticeable differences once it reopens.

 

Riverside Depot is open for business: The new store is now open for business. It adds nearly 5,000 sq feet of retail space to its adjoining store, Disney Outfitters. The merchandise is fairly typical Disney stuff including plush toys, t-shirts and other items that can be found in many places throughout the park and beyond. This store combo (Disney Outfitters/Riverside Depot) is now basically the Mouse Gears of the Animal Kingdom.

Thursday December 10 9am- 6pm
Friday December 11 9am- 6pm (Extra Magic Hours 8am to 9am)
