Disney World is set to dazzle visitors this summer with a host of new attractions and experiences that promise to elevate the magic even further! With some fantastic additions across its theme parks, guests can look forward to an unforgettable summer vacation.
The headline event is the grand opening of “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure” on June 28. Transforming the previous Splash Mountain ride, this new attraction immerses visitors in the world of Disney’s beloved “The Princess and the Frog”. With its iconic 50-foot drop still intact, guests will encounter dozens of new audio-animatronic characters from the 2009 animated film. Scott McConkey, travel writer and founder of Miles with McConkey, notes, “It has tremendous potential to become a new favorite attraction for families.”
Magic Kingdom isn’t the only park buzzing with excitement. Over at EPCOT, the multiyear renovation reaches its zenith with the inauguration of CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza. These new spaces promise versatile entertainment options, including character meet-and-greets and an exclusive Encanto-inspired show. Lindsay Brookshier from Mickey Visit says, “The return of these areas signifies the end of long-term construction and opens up new avenues for exciting festival activities.”
Disney World’s Hollywood Studios is also stepping up its game with fresh character meet-and-greet opportunities. Meanwhile, Animal Kingdom is all set to celebrate the 30th anniversary of “The Lion King” with special events sure to delight fans of all ages.
Not to be missed are the innovative nighttime entertainment offerings. Disney Springs will host the captivating drone show “Disney Dreams That Soar,” running nightly from May 24 through September 2. This spectacular display involves 800 drones painting the night sky with dazzling images of classic Disney characters, all choreographed to a rousing musical score. It’s a quieter, mesmerizing alternative to traditional fireworks and perfect for young children with sensitive ears, as noted by Sarah Gilliland, founder of On The Road With Sarah.
