Disney's Animal Kingdom News for October 19, 2016: Extra Magic Shuffle

Extra Magic shuffle: What is probably a function of cooling weather, the available attractions for Extra Magic Hours has been shuffled. Kali River Rapids will no longer be available in that time slot. Instead, you can visit Primeval Whirl and Triceratops Spin.

Dinosaur Refurb: When this lengthy refurbishment started, the expected opening date was September 30th. That was pushed back to October 17th a few weeks back. Now, the reopening date is set at November 20th, more than a month later. Still no word on what, if anything, will change. It seems extremely unlikely there will be anything new except maybe for some minor effects.

Ticket Booth: Over at Kilimanjaro Safaris, Disney is testing an in park ticket sales location between now and November 5. It will be open from 9 am until 7 pm. At this spot, you will be able upgrade your tickets to add days and options, purchase hard ticket events and even get annual passes. Plus, there will be guest relations available, as well, so you should be able to book ADRs at that location.
