Hello Julia! Thanks for coming to planDisney! And, thanks for sharing your love of DinoLand U.S.A. This has been a special part of
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park, with many happy memories being made there, but will soon be re-imagined for amazing new adventures!
I have to admit, as a huge fan of Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge McDuck, and Launchpad McQuack, I am sad to see DinoLand U.S.A. be reimagined, however, as a huge fan of what could possibly be coming, I am quite excited!
Disney has announced that a new “Tropical Americas” area is being imagined featuring Encanto and (my favorite) Indiana Jones!
While final closure plans for DinoLand U.S.A. have not been officially announced, I believe it is unlikely to be open for your August 2025 visit. I encourage you to keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog and the Walt Disney World Resort website for an official announcement.
I think the best way to find your “dino” Chip and “dino” Dale plushies might be to visit a popular online auction site where you will most likely find your favorites!
As far as meeting Chip and Dale, you can find these rascally friends at Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We’ll need to wait for an announcement to see if new opportunities exist to meet them at Disney's Hollywood Studios after DinoLand U.S.A. becomes a part of the "Disney Vault." The best place to meet Chip and Dale is at
Garden Grill Restaurant at EPCOT!
Dreams do come true!
