Disney World goes through countless changes every single day.

From major updates to minor ones, we keep up with them all so you know how to prepare for your next trip to the parks! On a recent trip to Animal Kingdom, we happened to see that something very important was missing from a particular attraction — let’s check it out.
The Hopper animatronic is missing from “It’s Tough To Be a Bug” at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! We happened to notice on a recent visit to the park.

We spoke with a Cast Member who said Hopper had some business to attend to, but that he would be back soon. That’s basically Disney talk for the animatronic needing just a bit of TLC! We’re not sure when exactly Hopper will be back, but we’ll keep an eye out.

But, “It’s Tough To Be a Bug” is likely on its last legs in Animal Kingdom.
Disney has announced that a Zootopia show is in the works for the Tree of Life Theater, so it seems we’ll be seeing some newer characters in there eventually. Disney hasn’t released many details but you can see everything we know so far here.
