Getting Up Close and Personal: Meet Your Favorite Zootopia Pals (and Say Farewell to Others)
Not only will you see Judy and Nick on stage, but they'll also be ready to greet guests in person! A brand-new Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps meet and greet location is being prepared near the Tree of Life. This "Zoogether Day Gathering Spot" is rumored to be the new home for the dynamic duo, sporting their fresh new looks straight from Zootopia 2. Imagine getting a hug from Judy or shaking paws with Nick – definitely a photo op you won't want to miss!
However, with new characters moving in, some old friends are finding new stomping grounds. Dug and Russell from Disney-Pixar's Up! have officially moved out of their former Wilderness Explorers Club House. These beloved Wilderness Explorers are now meeting guests on the backside of the Tree of Life, close to the bridge leading to Africa and near the Creature Comforts Starbucks. So, if you're looking for your favorite talking dog and earnest scout, you know where to go!

Behind the Scenes: Animal Kingdom's Zootopia Transformation is Nearly Complete
If you've visited Animal Kingdom recently, you've probably noticed the buzz of construction around the Tree of Life area. We've been keeping a close eye on the progress, and things are really shaping up for the November 7th opening of Zootopia: Better Zoogether.
New signage is being installed, though some of it, like a brand-new exit sign near the Tree of Life theater, is still covered in scrim. But we got a peek at the back of the marquee sign at the attraction's entrance, revealing a vibrant seafoam green, wood accents, and a forest green section at the top. Even the side signs for the standby and Lightning Lane queues look to be made of wood, adding to the natural, wild aesthetic.
Access to certain areas surrounding the Tree of Life has been temporarily restricted, including a picturesque viewing area for turtles near the roots of the tree and the catfish spot across from the restrooms. These spots usually double as queue lines for Tree of Life shows, and construction crews have been hard at work, suggesting new queue line signage is on its way. Temporary rolling planters are also strategically placed around the attraction, often a sign that construction is nearing its final stages!
Even the Tree of Life itself is getting some TLC. The wood near its roots is being treated and repainted to a darker shade, and crews have been spotted wrapping ropes and netting around the beams, ensuring everything looks perfect for the big debut.
