There have been a LOT of changes at Disney World recently!

Tree of Life
We’ve seen temperature checks get suspended, we’ve watched mask guidelines change, and we’ve even seen some updates to social distancing. AND some entertainment has returned to the parks!
Now we normally use the My Disney Experience app to navigate around the parks, but we like to pick up park maps from time to time because they make great souvenirs! And we discovered a NEW map today for Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The front features two people, both wearing masks.

New Map!
The previous map had ditched the icon and listing for the Festival of the Lion King show. But the revamped version of the show, The Celebration of the Festival of the Lion King is on the new map!

Entertainment is back!
That show is also listed inside under Africa. For dining, we see that Trek Snacks and Thirsty River Bar have been separated into individual listings under Asia (it previously said Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks).

The Celebration of the Festival of the Lion King is listed
The rest of the map is the same. Although relaxation stations are still included on the new map, most have been removed from the park now that guests can take their masks off outdoors when not in line.

The “Plan Your Adventure” section is also the same as the previous map.
