Disney World is no stranger to big crowds, but March 16th at Animal Kingdom is set to be particularly hectic! If you're planning a visit on this date, you might want to avoid the Tree of Life area, as it's the final day for the "It’s Tough to be a Bug!" show before it closes permanently for a new Zootopia attraction.
Since "It’s Tough to be a Bug!" debuted with the park in 1998, it has become a favorite for its blend of nostalgia and fun 3D effects. But come March 17th, the construction for its replacement, "Zootopia: Better Zoogether," will begin, with the new attraction expected to open in the winter of 2025.
**What to Expect on March 16th:**
- **Long wait times** - Expect longer lines as fans bid farewell.
- **Crowded walkways** - The Tree of Life area will be bustling with activity.
- **Merchandise rush** - Any farewell merchandise will be in high demand.
**Tips to Avoid the Chaos:**
- **Head to Pandora early** for potentially shorter waits at other attractions.
- **Take back pathways** through Africa and Asia.
- **Visit early morning or late evening** to dodge peak crowd times.
- **Relax at Rafiki’s Planet Watch** instead of the usual rest spots.
Once "It’s Tough to be a Bug!" closes, excitement builds for "Zootopia: Better Zoogether." Disney has teased some behind-the-scenes glimpses, adding to the anticipation!
