As Disney prepares to reimagine Dinoland U.S.A., a new form of entertainment has taken the stage—literally. The Eco-Rhythmics, a high-energy percussion group themed around sustainability, is now performing daily at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Introduced in early 2025, the group features three characters: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. During this recorded show, only Reduce and Reuse were present, as Recycle was away at a conference.
A Recycled Soundtrack
Originally located near Dino-O-Rama, but now behind construction walls, the Eco-Rhythmics have since moved near the entrance to Dinoland. The group uses instruments crafted from repurposed materials, including pots, pans, trash can lids, bicycle parts, and birdhouses. The result is a lively, crowd-engaging performance that blends music, humor, and environmental messaging.
Meet Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
Each performer stands atop a themed platform representing their “3 R” identity. The show’s soundtrack features Disney favorites like “How Far I’ll Go,” “I Wan’na Be Like You,” and “The Bare Necessities”—all performed with rhythm and flair that rivals any live band. Guests are encouraged to clap, stomp, and sing along.
Showtimes and Viewing Tips
The Eco-Rhythmics perform several times daily, starting around 9:20 a.m. and continuing every hour through mid-afternoon. These shows are short but impactful, offering a perfect break between attractions and a memorable moment for families. Times are available in the My Disney Experience app under the “Entertainment” listings.
More Than Just a Distraction
The show not only distracts from the nearby construction but also reinforces Disney’s long-standing focus on conservation. Much like other live acts in Animal Kingdom, Eco-Rhythmics aligns with the park’s mission by utilizing entertainment to raise awareness about the planet. It also offers a sense of continuity, as the performers were previously seen on the Discovery River as part of the flotilla-based entertainment during the park’s modified offerings.
Don’t Miss This Dinoland Moment
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a Disney Parks veteran, the Eco-Rhythmics are worth stopping for. As The Boneyard prepares to close and Dinoland nears its final chapter, Disney Live Entertainment continues to find creative ways to celebrate the area’s legacy.
