There are plenty of changes coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Recently, much of DinoLand closed to make way for the future Tropical Americas area. This new area will include the stories of Encanto and Indiana Jones when they are completed. Another change coming to the park is the replacement of It’s Tough to Be a Bug! with Zootopia: Better Zoogether! Today, Disney announced that the final day to experience It’s Tough to Be a Bug will be on March 16th. On March 17th, the experience will be closed to begin to make way for the new Zootopia experience.
Zootopia: Better Zoogether! will explore the various biomes from Zootopia. Some of these are new and others will be recognizable by fans of the film. There will be some favorite characters like Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, and others. Concept art for the new show also includes Gazelle, Chief Bogo, Flash, Priscilla, and others. This does not necessarily mean they will make it into the show as concept art is just a starting point. It will also include an Officer Clawhauser audio-animatronic.
Both It’s Tough to Be a Bug! and the future Zootopia: Better Zoogether! will be experienced in the theater inside the Tree of Life. This is the icon for Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
It’s Tough to Be a Bug Official Description

Become an Honorary Bug
See the world from a bug’s point of view with a little help from Flik inside the great Tree of Life.Meander along a winding pathway—past tangled roots, unfurled branches and detailed carvings of animals—to the Tree of Life, the symbol of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Venture inside the tree’s base, where you will receive a pair of 3D glasses before taking a seat inside the approximately 430-seat Tree of Life Repertory Theatre.
Bug Entertainment for the Whole Family
Flik, the loveable ant from the Disney•Pixar film A Bug’s Life, invites you and your family to become honorary insects by donning a pair of special “bug eye” glasses and watching an exciting 3D film and live show on the survival techniques of bugs.During the show, dodge flying quills from a tarantula, feel a harmless “acid spray” from a soldier termite and smell the unpleasant “defense stench” from a stink bug. When Hopper—the grasshopper villain from A Bug’s Life—unexpectedly shows up, the theatre becomes very active, led by buzzing hornets and tumbling spiders.
In the end, you’ll surely learn “it’s tough to be a bug,” but more importantly, that insects are our friends.
With dazzling 3D movie effects, Audio-Animatronics® figures and in-theatre 4D surprises, It’s Tough to be a Bug! places you in the centre of the fascinating world of insects, showcasing the incredible value they add to our lives.
