Disney's Animal Kingdom Making Changes to Animal Hospital; Summer Discount Announced

Disney's Animal Kingdom Making Changes to Animal Hospital:

The Animal Hospital and Veterinary Treatment Room in Rafiki's Planet Watch is now closed for refurbishment until mid-June. Disney's Animal Kingdom has announced they are continuing their efforts to provide exceptional care for the animals by introducing new technology inside the animal hospital. 

Several enhancements will take place during the refurbishment, and after reopening, guests will have the ability to view procedures in which the hospital staff uses two new CT (computed tomography) scanners for animal diagnostics. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is one of only two animal hospitals in U.S. zoos with CT scanners on the premises.

While closed, the animals will continue to receive the best care, but they will receive that care in backstage treatment areas, such as the quarantine building. There will be no on-stage veterinary procedures during the refurbishment.
