Disney has a lot of construction going on at its parks in Walt Disney World. Currently, Disney’s Animal Kingdom is under construction in the old Dinoland U.S.A. section for a new Tropical Americas land coming in 2027.
This new area will feature an attraction made to look like the iconic Madrigal house, Casita. Construction is moving quickly, and the steel is going up for Casita now.
Thanks to @bioreconstruct on X, we have a look at that construction.

This area will soon be hidden under structural steel. The show scene is something to ponder … pic.twitter.com/xlHSYMbiWL

A new carousel is also set to open in this area. Construction prep has already begun on this as well.

Again, this area is set for completion sometime in 2027. Dinosaur and some other sections are still in operation but will close in early February 2026.
