“For several years now, we’ve been developing shows that bring the wow factor without using live animals.
“Guest feedback has been fantastic, and we can’t wait for Animals vs Dinosaurs to take to the stage in 2022.
“Our shows aren’t the only new thing this year.
“Delicious new vegan options can be found in all retail restaurants and buffets at the resorts and we’re always looking to expand our offering.”

Hide AdPETA – whose motto reads, in part, that ‘animals are not ours to use for entertainment’ – notes that animals exploited at tourist attractions often endure the misery of confinement, separation from their families, and forced interactions with humans.
The group encourages the public to visit only attractions that do not use animals in performances or encounters or for any other entertainment purposes.
