Between the pre-show returning at Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway to dressing rooms reopening in select stores, much of Disney World is starting to look more and more like it did in 2019!

And, today we’re visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom to hop in line for Dinosaur, because its pre-show returned this week as well!
Dinosaur has a fan-favorite pre-show experience, with none other than Dr. Grant Seeker and his plans that will get us in an AWFUL lot of trouble once we board those Time Rovers.

This is what the pre-show area looked like right after the parks reopened in summer of 2020…

…and here’s what it looked like today! Now all the tape has been removed from the floor and guests are directed to fill in the available space.

And, while Cast Members did allow quite a few people to enter at once, there was still some room between parties, with some guests opting to sit on the floor.

Now, keep in mind that the pre-show has been playing in the room since the parks reopened last year, but the line used to flow through the room. But, now things are back to normal and guests are loaded into the room for the show and then directed to the loading area.

As more pre-shows return to Disney World, we’ll hop in line and check them out for ourselves to bring you the latest coverage from the parks so stay tuned!
What pre-show are you looking forward to seeing return the most? Let us know in the comments!
