“Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” These legendary words from Walt Disney resonate now more than ever, as Disney Experiences continues to blaze trails in the world of family entertainment. At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Chairman Josh D’Amaro revealed an extraordinary lineup of new attractions and expansions, confirming once more why Disney remains the gold standard in creating timeless experiences that captivate audiences globally.
Magic Kingdom, the gem of Walt Disney World Resort, is set for its most ambitious expansion ever. Two thrilling new lands featuring Disney’s iconic villains and the beloved Cars franchise are in the works. Imagine walking through a world where the wicked characters you love to hate come to life, complete with thrilling rides, dining, and shopping. Meanwhile, Cars fans can gear up for high-octane adventures in a reimagined Frontierland section. One attraction promises an off-road rally race, while another caters to young racers, making it fun for the whole family.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is not to be outdone, with plans to introduce Tropical Americas, a lush, new land brimming with adventure. Guests will step into Pueblo Esperanza, a fictional rainforest village, before venturing into a Maya temple for an all-new Indiana Jones attraction. A ride-through experience inside the magical Casita of Encanto also awaits, marking the first of its kind for this fan-favorite franchise. Slated to open in 2027, this expansion promises a rich tapestry of storytelling that Disney Imagineers have honed over seven decades.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios will join the excitement with a new land based on Monsters, Inc. The Pixar favorite is set to become even more interactive with the introduction of Disney’s first-ever suspended coaster. Imagine soaring through the air, laughter echoing around you, as you tour the famous Laugh Factory.
West coast fans, rejoice! Disneyland Resort’s Disney California Adventure is expanding its Avengers Campus with two thrilling new E-ticket rides. But that’s not all—Avatar is also making a grand entrance with an innovative attraction inspired by the blockbuster films. These new additions promise to deliver the same awe and excitement that has earned these film franchises billions at the global box office.
From Magic Kingdom’s largest expansion to cutting-edge attractions at Disneyland Resort, Disney Experiences is charting an exhilarating future filled with imaginative adventures. As D’Amaro aptly put it, “With so many great Disney stories to tell, we’re excited to bring an unprecedented number of new projects to life in the near future.”
