DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. We’ve heard a lot of huge news over the last few days as the D23 Expo took place in Anaheim, California. One of the announcements was that some major changes could be coming to DinoLand U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Moana– and Zootopia-themed lands were mentioned as possible updates for this section of the park. Tree of Life However, those changes are probably still several years away — Disney said that the concepts were in the early development stage for now. So what kinds of things are changing right now? Let’s go find out! We’re visiting Animal Kingdom to see what’s changed in this park since the last time we were here. Come along with us to see some new merchandise and an update on a construction project. Animal Kingdom Food Updates At the Joffrey’s Coffee kiosk just outside the entrance to Animal Kingdom, we spotted a new treat! Dessert in a jar! It was called “Dessert in a Jar,” and it was made up of different s’mores ingredients. We’ve seen this available at a couple of different Joffrey’s locations in Disney World, so keep an eye out at whichever park you’re visiting — there’s a Joffrey’s location at all 4 parks! Animal Kingdom Construction Updates Near the entrance to Animal Kingdom, there are several animal exhibits along the walkway to Discovery Island. One of these exhibits is currently closed, with green construction walls covering the front. Oasis Exhibit Construction This exhibit has been closed for a while now, and Disney hasn’t announced yet what kinds of changes are coming to this spot. We’ll keep an eye out and let you know if the situation changes. Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates Buckle up, because we found a lot of new merchandise this time! Discovery Trading At Discovery Trading, There was a new Starbucks cup that had Mickey Mouse on the front, along with several Disney World park icons and attractions. New Starbucks cup alert! You can also buy this cup online if you’re not at Disney World right now! It’s $27.99. Click here to buy the Disney World Starbucks Cup. We also spotted a new shirt with a design inspired by Disney’s Coco. It said, “Fly High Pepita” with a picture of Miguel riding on an Alebrije from the movie. ‘Coco’ Shirt You can get this tee online as well! It costs $36.99 in the park, but online it’s just $29.99. Click here to buy the Coco shirt online. The next item we found seemed to be a little bit lost. It was a Pandora-themed hat with a spaceship on the bill and the words “Explore Pandora” on the front. However, we spotted it on Discovery Island instead of in the Pandora land in Animal Kingdom! “Explore Pandora” hat You can get this hat online or in Disney World for $29.99. Click here to buy the Pandora hat. If you’re not a Pandora fan, you might prefer this 50th Anniversary Walt Disney World visor instead! It’s white with pink trim and the Disney World logo embroidered on the front. WDW visor You can also get the hat online if you’re not in the parks. However, it’s a little bit cheaper if you can buy it in Animal Kingdom — we spotted it for $24.99, but it’s $27.99 online. Click here to buy the Walt Disney World visor. The last 2 items we spotted at Discovery Trading were only available in the parks. They’re also both themed to the Silly Symphony short, The Skeleton Dance, which Disney released in 1929. First, there’s an hourglass for $39.99. Dancing Skeletons hourglass You can also get a lantern for $34.99. Dancing Skeletons Lantern The lantern lights up and creates a pattern of dancing skeletons. Spooky! That’s it for Discovery Trading! Let’s take a look at some other shops. Island Mercantile At Island Mercantile, we found a set of headphones that are themed to Disney Pixar’s Turning Red. ‘Turning Red’ Headphones You can get them online or in Disney World for $29.99. Click here to buy the Turning Red headphones. We also found a Buzz Lightyear desk light, which lights up different colors and shows a silhouette of Buzz. Lightyear Desk Light You can find this one online or in Disney World for $39.99. Click here to buy the Lightyear desk light. And we also spotted part of the Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction collection — a Mickey plush in the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel series. Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel Stuffed Mickey Mickey is looking very royal indeed as Prince Charming. You can buy the plush online or in Disney World for $34.99. Click here to buy the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel Mickey plush. Windtraders Windtraders is the gift shop in Pandora that guests walk through after riding the Avatar: Flight of Passage ride. At this shop, we found a new pen that comes with a pen holder as well. On the lid, it says “Sivako!” which is a Na’vi word meaning “Rise to the Challenge” (you learn that in the Flight of Passage ride!). You can get it for $34.99. Sivako pen We also spotted a Flight of Passage mug, which has a couple of banshees flying on one side and the ride’s name on the other. Flight of Passage mug You can get this mug for $24.99. Zuri’s Sweets Shop Our last stop on our shopping spree was Zuri’s Sweets Shop, which has all kinds of delicious treats to try. Instead of going for the bakery case, we took a look at the merchandise section of this shop. There, we found a Wakanda throw blanket, which has a design on it that’s inspired by Marvel’s Black Panther. Wakanda Throw You can get this new blanket for $59.99. Although we didn’t spot the blanket online, we did find a LOT of other Black Panther merchandise. Click here to shop for Black Panther merchandise. That’s it for our tour around the park! If you’re looking for more Disney World updates, be sure to check out what’s new over at the Disney World hotels — here’s a hint: we waited over an HOUR for a mug! See ya later, Animal Kingdom!

If you thought the last few years were busy for Disney, buckle up. Welcome to Disney World! From new rides and a new private island to a brand new cruise ship, Dinsey’s got a lot in store for Disney World, Disneyland, and beyond in the next few years. Today we’re breaking down EVERYTHING coming to the Disney parks and beyond in 2022, 2023, and 2024! During the 2022 D23 Expo, Disney announced a whole bunch of opening dates and shared information about upcoming projects. So just what is in store for the next few years? Well, the image below that Disney shared does a fairly good job of capturing most things that are on their way. That’s a Bunch of Stuff! Let’s break it down. Here are some of the big things on their list that are set to open in 2022: Disney Cruise Line reservations open for sailings from Australia and New Zealand — sales begin on September 29th, 2022 with sailings available for a limited time in 2023 and 2024, starting in October 2023 Fantasmic! returns to Disney World — no exact date yet Believe!

There are a few other things set to come in 2022 that are not on Disney’s list. Those include: The launch of the car locator app for Disneyland — no exact date The launch of MagicBand+ in Disneyland — no exact date Opening of Roundup Rodeo restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Disney World — no exact date The launch of “Hey, Disney!” at Disney World and Disneyland hotels — no official date Eudora’s Chic Boutique Signage What about 2023? Here are the big things from Disney’s list that will be arriving that year: Some of the transformation starts to take place at the Disney Village in Disneyland Paris — in 2023, a new lakeside French brasserie called Rosalie is set to open The reimagined Mickey’s Toontown opens in Disneyland — set to open in early 2023 Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway opens at Disneyland The Villas at Disneyland Hotel will open (this is the NEW DVC tower) The Hatbox Ghost comes to the Haunted Mansion in Disney World Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana opens in EPCOT in Disney World — late 2023 We Belong Together!

Well, these are things that previously had been identified as having an opening date in 2023: The new DVC lounge is expected to open in Disneyland Summer House on the Lake (new restaurant) should open in Disney Springs at Disney World You can buy a home in Disney’s new living community — Cotino, A Storyliving by Disney community Pixar Day at Sea will take place on select sailings The 100 Years of Disney Exhibit will launch The Cake Bake Shop (a new restaurant) will open at Disney’s BoardWalk in Disney World WOW! 2024 has more fun in store.

And that doesn’t even include announcements made about Disney movies, Marvel movies and series, Star Wars movies and series, Disney+, and beyond. Now, keep in mind that these are the current dates announced by Disney for these projects, but dates and details are all subject to change. We’ve seen opening timelines change in the past, and it’s possible we could see that happen again.

Thinking about going to Disney World in 2023? You may think you’ve got TONS of time to plan your adventure, but you might need to start taking action sooner than you think! Magic Kingdom Between Park Pass reservations, hotel bookings, and reservations for popular restaurants, there are a lot of factors to consider before booking your trip. Here are some of the things you should be thinking about as you plan your 2023 trip and some reasons why you might want to start planning right NOW. 2023 Vacation Packages, Hotels, and Tickets You may not have realized it, but vacation packages, hotels, and park tickets are all already available for booking and buying for Disney World for 2023. In fact, 2023 vacation packages became available quite some time ago. Spaceship Earth If you’re hoping to book when there’s generally the most availability, then you’ll actually want to get started on those 2023 plans right NOW. As we get closer to 2023 and finally make it into the year, certain hotel rooms or days could start to sell out, especially when it comes to special rooms like those that have been re-themed to The Incredibles at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, or rooms with central locations like those with walking distance to the parks. Grand Floridian Resort DVC Studio Hotel availability can vary, so again if you want to give yourself the best chance to get the room you want, you may be better off booking NOW, or at least sooner rather than later. If the room you want isn’t available, you may want to consider booking something that is available and then modifying/canceling your reservation later on if something better opens up. If a hotel discount offer later becomes available, see if it can be applied to your trip. If you decide to hold off on booking until later, just know that your hotel choices might be a bit more limited. But keep checking for the room you want or work with a travel agent to make the booking process easier. We highly recommend our friends over at Small World Vacations! Their services are totally FREE and they can help you get the best deal for your trip! Click here to learn about the BEST hotel rooms in Disney World Park Passes The Park Pass reservation system may have been introduced after the pandemic-related closures, but it doesn’t look like it’s going away any time soon. Various Disney executives have commented on just how beneficial the Park Pass system has been when it comes to controlling crowds, managing capacity, and reportedly improving the guest experience. So, like it or not, the Park Pass system is something you’ll have to consider ahead of your 2023 trip. ©Disney Right now, the calendars for 2023 are basically fully available, but that might not last forever. Popular days, particularly those around holidays, can and do fill up. Disney has even indicated that they have seen demand in excess of the Park Pass reservations that are available. While those Park Pass reservations may not fill up for several weeks or months, particularly if you’re not planning to go to Disney World until late in 2023, you may still want to book those Park Pass reservations ASAP. Book Those Park Passes Soon If you book your Park Passes now, you’ll give yourself the best chance to grab the reservations for the parks you want on the days you want. If you change your mind later, you’ll be able to cancel or modify your reservations. But it’s better to have your Park Pass reservations set up than wait until it’s too late and dates have already started to fill up. Our recommendation is that as soon as you book our hotel and tickets, you snag up those Park Passes too. If you do end up waiting until a little bit later and things have filled up, be sure to check the Park Pass calendar repeatedly. We have seen some days fill up, only to later be replenished, so things are constantly changing! Click here to see what some Disney executives have said about the Park Pass system Pricing and Price Increases Pricing and price increases are other things you want to consider when thinking about when to start planning your trip. As we noted above, 2023 vacations are now up and available for you to book, which means pricing details for those trips and tickets are also available. But, prices could change in the future. Disney World In the past, we’ve seen ticket prices change in February and other months. Based on AllEars.net’s historical data, since 1971, the months where the most price increases have taken place are February and June, followed by October and March. We’ve already seen some hidden price increases put in place for 2023. Though the ticket price range itself hasn’t changed, we have seen some days get moved into a higher ticket price bracket, meaning those days are deemed more in “demand” and made more expensive than they were during the previous year. Disney’s CEO Bob Chapek has indicated that prices could once again increase in the future. When talking about price increases, Chapek shared, “If demand goes up, then we have the opportunity to do that.” And considering the fact that Disney has shared demand has been resilient and long-lasting, price increases are likely to be a part of our future. Disney’s Animal Kingdom So if you want to get the best deal, you’re probably better off booking sooner rather than later so you can “lock in” the prices as they exist right now. Then, if the prices go up for tickets, you won’t have to worry because you’ve already made your purchase at the existing rate. If you’re curious to know what days might be best (or worst) from a pure price perspective, you can click here to see the cheapest days to visit Disney World in 2023 or click here to see the most expensive days to visit Disney World in 2023. Dining Reservations and Other Extras While you might be able to book your hotel room and Park Passes WAY in advance, the same cannot be said about dining reservations and many reservations for special experiences (like tours or other special offerings) at Walt Disney World. When it comes to dining reservations and “enchanting extras experiences” (like tours), generally reservations can be booked 60 days ahead of your trip. Mama Melrose’s You might think “if I can’t make dining reservations until 60 days out, maybe I should just wait until then to book my hotel and set up my trip.” But that would NOT be the way to go! At that point, many hotel reservations might already be booked up, Park Pass reservations could fill up for popular days, and ticket or hotel prices may have gotten an increase. So you’ll probably want to book your vacation package, hotel, or tickets well ahead of this 60-day mark to give yourself the best chance to get the tickets and room you want at the best price, but you will also want to set an alarm for that 60-day mark to make sure you can grab the dining reservations or other special event reservations you want. Fun! Can you wait until later to make dining reservations and special event reservations? Sure! But just know that your availability might be a bit more limited. Reservations for popular restaurants can fill up quickly, but if you’re more of a go-with-the-flow and whatever is available type of person then that might be fine for you. If a popular restaurant is the one you’re after and you don’t make those dining reservations until later, be sure to check daily for availability to open up. As folks get closer to their trips and cancel reservations they don’t need, that availability can open up for you! Click here to see what will be the hardest Disney World dining reservations to get in 2023 Big Opening Dates Finally, you’ll want to consider BIG dates coming up in 2023 ahead of your trip plans. Here are a few days you’ll want to be aware of for your 2023 trip, either to avoid or to make a point to visit: 2023 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend — January 4th-8th, 2023 American Youth Flag Football league World Championships at ESPN Wide World of Sports — January 21st-22nd, 2023 2023 Princess Half Marathon Weekend — February 23rd-26th, 2023 2023 Springtime Surprise Weekend — April 13th-16th, 2023 The 50th Anniversary will end at Disney World — March 31st, 2023 The Cake Bake Shop will open at Disney’s BoardWalk (sometime in 2023) Summer House on the Lake will open in Disney Springs (sometime in 2023) ©The Cake Bake Shop via Instagram When it comes to 2023, you’ll also want to keep refurbishments and closures in mind. For example, the Disney Skyliner will be closing for refurbishment in late January of 2023, temporarily removing that transportation option at the Skyliner resorts. There will also be a number of pools undergoing refurbishment starting in early January, and some refurbishments will last for quite some time. Also in 2023, the pirate-themed rooms will no longer be available at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, so that’s something to keep in mind. You can click here to see our full page of updates about ride, restaurant, and resort closures and construction in Disney World to get the latest info. Disney Skyliner And that’s a look at some of the things you need to consider BEFORE you book that 2023 vacation and when considering how early to book your 2023 trip to Disney World.

If you’re visiting Disney World in a wheelchair or an electric conveyance vehicle (ECV), you may have questions about just how accessible Disney World really is. ECVs in the rental area at EPCOT When it comes to Disney World rides, there are different levels of accessibility for every ride — meaning there are some queues that accommodate wheelchairs/ECVs, and some that do not. We have a comprehensive list of every ride’s accessibility options here, so you can arrive at Disney World feeling comfortable and ready to have fun. May Remain in Wheelchair/ECV Disney World has four different rides that allow guests to remain in their wheelchair or ECV the entire time — that means you can stay in your vehicle through the ride queue AND onto the ride. These rides include: Jungle Cruise Journey Into Imagination With Figment Liberty Square Riverboat Carousel of Progress Jungle Cruise These rides have vehicles that accommodate wheelchairs and ECVs so that you never have to transfer out of your wheelchair or ECV. Must Transfer From Wheelchair/ECV to Ride Vehicle There are many Disney World rides that require you to transfer from either your wheelchair or ECV into the ride vehicle. This can be for a number of reasons, mostly due to the ride vehicle not being able to accommodate wheelchairs. For these rides, you can typically remain in your wheelchair through the ride queue, but you must exit your chair to enter the ride vehicle. The rides where you must transfer out of your wheelchair or ECV and into a ride vehicle are: Alien Swirling Saucers Astro Orbiter The Barnstormer Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Dinosaur Dumbo the Flying Elephant Expedition Everest Frozen Ever After Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Haunted Mansion Kali River Rapids Mad Tea Party Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Mission: SPACE Na’vi River Journey Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Soarin’ Splash Mountain Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Test Track Tomorrowland Speedway The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness! When you transfer into the ride vehicle, a Cast Member will typically move your chair to the exit queue, so that there is minimal time required for you to transfer from the ride vehicle and back to your chair. Must Transfer From ECV to Wheelchair When Disney requires a transfer from an ECV to a wheelchair, it means that in some way the ride does not accommodate ECVs specifically. If this happens to you, Cast Members will provide you with a wheelchair either at the entrance of the attraction, inside the building, or somewhere in the queue, depending on the ride. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros “it’s a small world” Kilimanjaro Safaris Living with the Land The Magic Carpets of Aladdin The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Prince Charming Regal Carrousel Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure The Seas with Nemo & Friends Toy Story Mania TriceraTop Spin Under the Sea – Journey of The Little Mermaid Walt Disney World Railroad Toy Story Mania Some of these rides (like “it’s a small world”) have ride vehicles that allow wheelchairs to board, but ECVs cannot. You don’t have to worry about transferring to a wheelchair, however, like at the rides we’ll discuss in a second, your ECV will be provided to you near the exit queue or the exit of the ride. Must Transfer From ECV to Wheelchair, and from Wheelchair to Ride Vehicle For these rides, there is something that makes ECVs unable to make it all the way to the boarding area of the ride. Oftentimes, it’s that the queue is too tight that an ECV would not fit, or there is something else that would prevent an ECV from making it to the boarding zone. For rides where you must transfer into a wheelchair, the wheelchair will be provided at the attraction. The first transfer may occur at the entrance, inside the building, or elsewhere in the queue. Avatar Flight of Passage Pirates of the Caribbean Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Slinky Dog Dash Space Mountain Spaceship Earth Star Tours Tower of Terror Tower of Terror And that’s a breakdown of how to navigate ALL of Disney World’s rides with a wheelchair and ECV! If you’re planning a Disney World vacation, we have lots of resources available to you. We’ve got some planning tips you NEED to know before your next Disney World vacation, as well as what to do if you can’t get the Disney World hotel reservation you wanted.

Disney announces name of next ship, reveals new concept art at the Ultimate Disney Fan Event ANAHEIM, Calif. (Sept. 12, 2022) – At D23 Expo on Sunday, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro shared news and updates from Disney theme parks and beyond, including a trove of new adventures in store for Disney Cruise Line guests. As part of the announcements, he unveiled first details on the fleet’s sixth ship, concept art for its new island destination and an all-new vacation experience for Australia and New Zealand residents. Disney fans were the first to learn that the next Disney Cruise Line ship will be named Disney Treasure. In a never-before-seen concept video premiered on stage, Peter Pan flies over the vessel to uncover not just the ship’s name, but a surprising array of Disney characters on the hunt for adventure. D’Amaro also revealed that the Disney Treasure will be designed with a brand-new motif unlike anything Disney Cruise Line has done before. The theme of adventure, inspired by Walt Disney’s love of exploration, will pave the way for epic experiences that immerse guests in some of the company’s most legendary stories. “At the heart of every adventure, there’s a treasure, and we can’t wait for you to create memories aboard this spectacular ship,” D’Amaro said. The Grand Hall will radiate the irresistible allure of adventure, inviting guests to seek all the treasures on board from the moment they embark. Inspired by the grandeur and mystery of a gilded palace, it draws on real-world influences from Asia and Africa and pays homage to the far-off land of Agrabah from Walt Disney Animation Studios’ classic tale, “Aladdin.” The signature atrium character statue — a Disney Cruise Line tradition — will be a shining, shimmering, splendid representation of Aladdin, Jasmine and Magic Carpet soaring together toward a whole new world of adventure. The Disney Treasure scheduled for delivery in 2024. Following the Disney Wish, which set sail in July, it’s the second of three new ships planned through 2025. The Wish class ships are powered by liquefied natural gas and feature 1,254 guest staterooms. Disney’s Second Bahamas Destination – Lighthouse Point D’Amaro shared that work has begun on Disney’s second island destination in the Bahamas, located on the island of Eleuthera at a place called Lighthouse Point, unveiling new details and concept art for the D23 audience. “This new destination is inspired by the stories of the Bahamas, and we’re committed to preserving and protecting the natural environment throughout this project,” D’Amaro said. Disney is working closely with Bahamian artists and advisors to create a destination that represents the natural beauty and rich culture of the Bahamas, brought to life through Disney storytelling and the unparalleled service of local cast and crew. New renderings show a vibrant beach retreat infused with the color and energy of Bahamian artistry. In addition to the pristine beaches, families will enjoy a recreation center, dining, shopping, a water playground, a cultural pavilion and more. Disney has committed to develop less than 20 percent of the property; supply 90 percent of the site’s power from solar energy; employ sustainable building practices; and donate more than 190 acres of privately owned land to the government. Environmental management programs have already been established and will continue throughout construction and into operation. Vacations Aboard the Disney Wonder for Guests Down Under For the first time, Disney Cruise Line is bringing the magic of a Disney vacation to families and fans in Australia and New Zealand during brand-new “Disney Magic at Sea” cruises beginning late October 2023. The ship is the destination on these limited-time voyages, which have been specially created to immerse local guests in their favorite Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars stories through enchanting entertainment and enhanced experiences throughout each cruise. The Disney Wonder will embark on these “Disney Magic at Sea” cruises through February 2024, ranging from two to six nights and departing from four home ports: Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia; and Auckland, New Zealand. “We are so glad to bring something new to those who may have never experienced this type of Disney magic before,” D’Amaro said. During the repositioning voyages between Honolulu and Sydney in October 2023 and February 2024, the Disney Wonder will offer the fleet’s first-ever South Pacific itineraries. These brand-new cruises will give guests from around the world the chance to experience exotic destinations like Fiji and Samoa. Bookings open to the public on Oct. 6, 2022. To learn more about Disney Cruise Line or to book a vacation, guests can visit disneycruise.com, call Disney Cruise Line at 888-325-2500 or contact a travel agent. View the full article

Now it’s time to say goodbye to all our company…see ya real soon, D23 Expo! That’s right friends, the D23 Expo is OVER but boy, did it bring us some epic announcements. The D23 Expo Has Ended! From epic (and pricey!) 100th Anniversary merchandise to news about a giant Te Fiti figure coming to EPCOT’s upcoming Moana attraction — there was a LOOOOOT that we got to check out. But what were the biggest announcements from the entire Expo, you ask? Well, we’ve got that list for you right here! Here’s a look at the 5 BIGGEST news drops from the Expo this year. 1 — Updates on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure (Which Will Replace Splash Mountain) Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is the name of the Princess and the Frog re-themed ride that will replace Splash Mountain at both Disney World and Disneyland in 2024. While we had already seen concept art inspiring the ride and a look at Tiana’s outfit, during the Expo we actually got a first look at the ride itself via a cool model! So cool! But wait, there’s more! We also got to hear about a NEW Tiana-themed store — Eudora’s Chic Boutique Feating Tiana’s Gourmet Secrets — that will open in Disneyland, and we learned that it’ll actually be opening in Disneyland on September 20th, 2022! The store will have a line of merchandise featuring Tiana’s spices and sauces! Eudora’s Chic Boutique Signage As if that wasn’t enough, we also learned that a Tiana-themed restaurant — called Tiana’s Palace — will also be coming to Disneyland! Tiana’s Palace Restaurant Story Announcement And during the Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products panel, we got confirmation about some of the voice actors reprising their roles on the ride, a look at a misting effect coming to the ride, and more details about the backstory for the attraction. Here’s A Look Basically, if you love Tiana, this Expo was full of good news! Click here to see a closer look at the model for the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride! 2 — HUGE Opening Timelines During the D23 Expo, we also got 2 opening timelines we have been eagerly awaiting. First, the TRON attraction coming to Magic Kingdom in Disney World is now set to open in the spring of 2023! Whoa! Over at EPCOT, the Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana walk-through attraction is now set to open in late 2023! WOW! We can’t wait for these attractions to open. We’ll be on the lookout for more updates on them and we’ll let you know what we see. Click here to learn more about the HUGE Te Fiti figure coming to the Moana attraction 3 — Avengers Campus EXPANSION When it comes to Disney California Adventure Park, there were some big announcements too. One of the biggest announcements made was that Avengers Campus will be expanded and will be getting a NEW attraction. Avengers Campus in DCA The expansion will actually push Avengers Campus deeper into the multiverse and the new attraction will let guests battle alongside all kinds of superheroes. During the attraction, guests will actually get to meet the NEW King Thanos — a version of Thanos that WON. Not much else has been announced about this attraction and there’s no official opening date yet, but we’ll update you when we know more. Click here to see more details about the new attraction 4 — Movie News It wasn’t all about the parks though. During the D23 Expo, we also got to hear about what’s being worked on at Disney’s many movie studios. There was some especially exciting news when it comes to Disney Animation and Pixar. First, Pixar has officially confirmed that Inside Out 2 is in the works! The movie will feature Riley as a teenager and there will actually be MORE emotion characters introduced! Inside Out 2! But wait…there’s more! Pixar has also announced a brand NEW animated movie called ELIO. Elio is an 11-year-old who lives on Earth but, through a unique course of events, ends up making contact with aliens and is beamed up to space, where he must overcome his self-doubt and show the aliens that the best part of being human is just being yourself! Elio! Finally, Walt Disney Animation announced a NEW animated film called Wish! The story follows Asha, who sees a darkness no one else does and makes a wish upon a star, which causes an actual star to fall from the sky! Asha and Star must then go on a journey together! The film will be a musical in a watercolor style. Wish In addition to these films, we also got a trailer for the Enchanted sequel coming to Disney+, a trailer for the live-action Little Mermaid film, and SO much more! Want more movie and show news? Click here to see the trailer for Season 3 of ‘The Mandalorian’ coming to Disney+! 5 — Encanto, Coco, and More Could Come to the Disney World Parks Finally, we wrap up our main section of big news with some exciting “Blue Sky” ideas Disney has teased for Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom. Before we dive into these, it is important to note that these are Blue Sky ideas. That means they are VERY early in the stages of development, things could change, and nothing is truly “confirmed” yet. Josh D’Amaro, the Chairman of the Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, did say, “We are not up here daydreaming. It’s important to me that you know that these things…they are very real.” But, Disney has referred to these only as “early concept explorations,” “expansion opportunities,” and “what if” ideas. So take it all with enthusiasm and a grain of salt! A Lot More Could Be Coming to the Parks Just what ideas did Disney tease us with? Well, Disney’s team teased that DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom could (again, keyword: COULD) be re-themed in the future to something like Zootopia and/or Moana. In terms of Zootopia, they shared that guests could be immersed in various districts from the film (including some we maybe haven’t even seen before). ©D23 Over at Magic Kingdom, even MORE possibilities exist. The Disney team teased the idea of seeing what stories could exist if you were to go beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. What could exist beyond the Mountain? Well, the team teased that areas themed to Coco, Encanto, and/or the Disney Villains are some ideas being teased for a potential future area! Imagine flying into the Land of the Dead on an alebrije or maybe walking into the Casita and opening your own door to discover your gift! Coco Area Potentially Again, these are all things in very early talks, but we can’t wait to see what could happen. Click here for FULL details about these potential future areas for Magic Kingdom! And that’s a look at 5 of the BIGGEST stories, but MORE huge things were announced at the Expo too. The Happily Ever After theme song is coming back to Disney World with an updated fireworks show, a NEW nighttime spectacular has been announced for EPCOT, a Figment meet-and-greet will be coming to EPCOT, and an area of Disney California Adventure Park will be re-themed to Big Hero 6.
