Disney4me Posted Wednesday at 09:00 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:00 PM Big changes are coming to Magic Kingdom—and we’re not just talking about new churro flavors or merch drops. Magic Kingdom There are major new additions in the works, from a glowing new parade to full-on themed lands that’ll seriously reshape the park. Whether you’re planning a trip next year or just want the scoop on what’s ahead, we’ve got the rundown on everything confirmed (so far!) for 2025 and beyond. Let’s talk about what’s actually coming—and what might just blow your mind. Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away (Opening Summer 2025) You know that magical feeling of watching the Main Street Electrical Parade or SpectroMagic back in the day? Well, Disney is bringing it back with a glow-up. Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away is Magic Kingdom’s all-new nighttime spectacular, and it’s set to light up the streets starting summer 2025. ©Disney The Blue Fairy (yep, from Pinocchio) kicks off the show by inviting you to wish upon the first star of the night, and from there, it’s full-on Disney magic. We’re talking floats galore with characters from classics like Peter Pan and Cinderella, all the way to newer faves like Encanto, Moana, and Wish. There’s even a Coco float with mariachi music and Miguel taking center stage. ©Disney Costumes will glow, the music will hit you in the feels, and the nods to Disney history? They’re baked right in. It’s nostalgic and brand new all at once—and we can’t wait to see it in person. Pirates of the Caribbean Tavern (Opening Late 2025) Next up, Adventureland is getting a new hangout spot. A Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge is coming late 2025, and it promises to be a place where “pirates of all ages” can gather, snack, and swap tales. Think cozy, chaotic tavern vibes with a family-friendly twist. ©Disney The Barker Bird (aka Peg Leg Pete) is making a comeback to perch and squawk at guests, and we already know there’ll be food, drinks, and some “magical surprises.” We’ve seen the concept art and sneak peeks from behind the scenes—and yes, there’s a Captain’s Quarters dining room. The vibe? Totally immersive. ©Disney It’s not a ride, but this lounge is shaping up to be the spot to cool off and soak in some Imagineering magic. Cars-Themed Attractions (TBD – Beyond 2025) This one’s wild—literally. Frontierland is getting a major overhaul, and Cars is rolling in to take over the space currently occupied by Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America. That’s right, Cars is heading East, and Lightning McQueen is going off-road. Cars Area Concept Art ©Disney There will be two new Cars attractions: one will be a high-energy, terrain-racing ride through the mountains, complete with geysers and muddy splashes. The other is a more low-key adventure aimed at younger riders (but still fun for the whole fam). ©Disney Imagineers are going all out for this one. They’ve been testing ride tech on real off-road tracks in Arizona and developing brand-new vehicles with unique personalities. If you’ve ever dreamed of driving through the Wild West Cars-style, this is going to be your moment. Villains Land (TBD – Beyond 2025) It’s finally happening. A land dedicated to Disney Villains is on the way—and it sounds epic. Confirmed way back in August 2024, Villains Land will rise beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and become one of the largest expansions in Magic Kingdom history. ©Disney We’re talking two major attractions, new shopping and dining, and an entire immersive experience dripping with evil energy. Early concept art even hints at a roller coaster and a spooky landscape that looks like something straight out of a dark fairytale. ©Disney Villains like Maleficent, Ursula, Hades, and even Chernabog are expected to make appearances, and Disney has teased that the story involves a powerful spell that pulls them all into one dark, twisted realm. No heroes. No happy endings. Just beautifully wicked fun. ©Disney There’s no question Magic Kingdom is headed into a totally new era. Between the glowing new parade, immersive new lands, and fresh attraction lineups, the park is going to look very different in just a few years. We’ll keep you updated as construction progresses, opening dates get announced, and more details are released.
