    Tree of Life Closed!!

    According to another website, a 5 pound branch has fallen off the Tree Of Life in Animal Kingdom.It happened during a storm and no one was hurt. Until inspections can be done, the tree and surrounding habitats and It's Tough to Be a Bug are closed indefinitely!

    I hope they can get this resolved soon.

    My first thought was that their "solution" would be to close all the winding pathways around the tree and just have a direct path to the attraction. And of course this would be a shame, and I hope they don't choose to go that way.

    Me either, Dan. One of our favorite things is to walk through all those paths and pick out the animals we see. I am not a huge Tough to be a Bug fan, so missing the show is not a big deal.

    What material is the tree actually made of? Is it crumbling? It stated it's a metal structure, but what's on top to make it look like a tree? What a shame!

    I always heard those trees (Tree of Life, Swiss Family Tree, etc) referred to as "Disneydendrons".

    What is it made out of? That's a really good question...I'd never thought about that. Anyone know?

    The have to fix this. There is no way I'm going to be able to explain to a certain 4-year-old little girl that she can't see "It's Tough to be a Bug"
