Kali River Rapids is a water attraction at Animal Kingdom that shuts down during the winter months for maintenance and was set to reopen on April 2. Now, it seems that the attraction reopened a little sooner than scheduled and is currently allowing Guests to get soaked during the spring break heat.
As we can see, WDW Stats posted that the attraction soft-opened on March 29, five days ahead of schedule.

The interesting thing about the attraction opening back up is that Kali River Rapids is still noted as under refurbishment on the Disney World Refurbishment Calendar, and wait times are not posted on My Disney Experience. So, this means that if Guests are at Animal Kingdom over the next few days, they will get to experience a surprise!
Raft Down a Rip-Roaring River Skim across an erupting geyser, drift below a canopy of lush vegetation and be whisked along fast-moving rapids. Graze gushing waterfalls and bedrock amid the raging current. Then, as the harmony of nature is disrupted, you’ll plummet down a dramatic 20-foot slope!

You Will Get Wet You will surely get splashed on this attraction—and you may even get soaked. Guests wishing to remain dry are encouraged to bring a waterproof poncho, extra clothes or a towel to dry off.
Lockers for mobile devices and other items you want to stay dry are located across from the entrance to Kali River Rapids and are available during your ride (on a first-come, first-served basis).
