Had Enough of the Disney Parks? Then Visit Don Bluth Land!

You’ve never known fun until you’ve boarded a boat sinking into lava and tried to escape a giant canine Satan

Are you tired of the shiny, enforced merriment of Disneyland and Walt Disney World but still longing to fling your money into a void of ’80s and ’90s childhood nostalgia? When it’s family movie night, do you sometimes find yourself wishing that, instead of Encanto or Moana again, your children would opt for something a little more muted in palette, a little more sinister in theme?

Then we can’t wait to welcome you to Don Bluth Land, the world’s first amusement park dedicated to the director of animated children’s films who wasn’t afraid to get dark.

Conveniently located in the middle of the country in Wichita, Kansas (unlike those near-coastal destinations of Anaheim and Lake Buena Vista), Bluth Land was created to help the dreams and nightmares of Xennials everywhere live on. In fact, we’re optimistic that within a decade, we can convert a significant percentage of Disney Adults into die-hard Bluth Adults. Hey, if the news gets any more devastating, we won’t even have to try that hard, right?
