The curtains have closed on the latest D23 Horizon: Disney Experiences Showcase, leaving Disney enthusiasts buzzing with excitement and curiosity. Let’s dive into a tiered breakdown of the most thrilling and anticipated announcements from this year’s event.
*Topping the S Tier, we see spectacular surprises like The Lion King water ride poised to make waves at Disneyland Paris, a much-awaited addition that promises to enchant visitors with its immersive storytelling. Monsters Inc. rides are also making their highly deserved debut. Equally exciting is the fourth Avengers Campus attraction, finally leveraging KUKA Arm technology to offer an unparalleled experience. And don’t forget the promising new lands: Encanto and Villains Land, both of which will breathe new life into Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom respectively.*
*Sliding into the A Tier, revel in the joy of Magic Kingdom getting its nighttime parade back, along with a dazzling Avatar boat ride set for Disney California Adventure. The upcoming Cars attractions replacing Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America are bound to be hits, although their success will hinge on their execution. While replacing the classic DINOSAUR ride with Indiana Jones stirs mixed emotions, it’s shaping up to be an exciting adventure. The Spider-Man coaster at Shanghai Disneyland is also generating a lot of buzz with its promise of web-slinging wonders. Additionally, the new lounge at Spaceship Earth is a fantastic spot to unwind and soak in the futuristic vibes.*
*As for the B Tier, Disney Cruise Line’s expanding fleet is undoubtedly a marvel. While all eyes are on the Disney Treasure, the future additions seem almost overwhelming. Hong Kong Disneyland’s rumored Tower of Terror-esque Spider-Man attraction shows promise, and though the extended wait for Disneyland Paris’ World of Frozen until 2026 is a bummer, the lone attraction it will host is sure to delight.*
*In C Tier, excitement is a bit more tempered. The Hercules musical on Disney Destiny isn’t stirring much personal excitement. The far-off Zootopia show and The Mandalorian & Grogu experiences for Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run are great, but they are still waiting in the wings. Meanwhile, the refreshed Test Track at Epcot left fans wanting more details, given it’s the main attraction opening at Walt Disney World next year.*
*Lastly, the D Tier houses the unexpected Fortnite segment from the presentation. While Fortnite has its legion of fans, its relevance to Disney parks seemed tenuous, generating minimal buzz among park fans.*
