Disney announced plans to restore the Expedition Everest Yeti animatronic at Animal Kingdom after approximately 20 years of malfunction. The audio-animatronic, which had been limited to a stationary "disco" pose, will be returned to full motion capability during an extended attraction closure. The restoration marks a significant repair to one of the theme park's most notorious technical issues, with Disney confirming the project in mid-August 2026.
