Pocahontas show at AK to close

Walt Disney World announced that the live ‘Pocahontas and Her Forest Friends’ show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom will close Sept. 27 after a 10-year run. The Pocahontas character will remain in the park.

No immediate replacement is planned for the amphitheater.

I know this isn’t a popular opinion, but I think that Chester and Hester’s Dino-Rama is one of the best-themed areas in WDW

During the early to mid-sixties the dinosaur craze was going full-swing. It was the era of The Flintstones and Sinclair Gasoline (which had a dinosaur for their logo). Dinosaur toys were on every third toy store shelf. The 1964-65 New York World’s Fair had several pavilions that featured dinosaurs (one of them, the Ford Pavilion, was designed by Disney). It was all being fueled by the discoveries of dinosaur bones, teeth, fossils, etc. that were being made in several southwest and western states, especially Utah and New Mexico.
