Hi Candace,
Thank you for stopping by planDisney with a question!
I wish I had more definitive news, but we do not yet have a confirmed date for the return of the
Up Close with Rhinos experience. My family has done this tour in the past and it was phenomenal. Our girls loved getting to meet and learn about the rhinos. We also enjoyed
Caring for Giants and
Dine with an Animal Specialist. So, like you, we are hoping to see these educational experiences return soon!
As you wait, keep an eye on the
operational updates including the
Events, Tours, and Experiences updates since reopening information should be included on those sites. In the meantime, consider other experiences that are open with the
Enchanting Extras Collection. You could also book a reservation at
Sanaa, located at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidana Village. We adore this restaurant and especially love the tables near the windows. Sitting here on past visits, we have enjoyed wonderful savanna views!
Candace, consider making an advanced dining reservation at Sanaa. Although it cannot take the place of the Up Close with Rhinos experience, the views from the restaurant are lovely and the food is delicious! Looking at your arrival date, there is still hope that certain animal experiences will return by that time!
Magic and memories,
Donyell
