It’s a year of immense transformations for Disney theme parks worldwide! In a surprising twist, Disney has announced the permanent closure of a record number of rides and attractions across its parks. This isn’t just about making room for new ventures; it’s a bold reshaping of the magical landscape we’ve come to adore.
For fans of Walt Disney World and Disneyland, several highly anticipated projects are on the horizon. Magic Kingdom will soon boast a new Pirates of the Caribbean-themed bar, and Disneyland is gearing up for an exciting Avatar expansion. Yet, with the thrill of new experiences comes the bittersweet farewell to some beloved classics.
Walt Disney World’s lineup of closures includes enduring favorites like “It’s Tough to be a Bug,” DINOSAUR, and Tom Sawyer Island. Meanwhile, Disneyland Resort will see the end of the Red Trolley Car. Tokyo Disney Resort isn’t spared either, with the closure of Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters. It’s crucial for guests to stay informed as these changes unfold to make the most of their future visits.
On a brighter note, Disney’s D23 fan event unveiled incredible projects, including a new Indiana Jones ride at Animal Kingdom replacing DINOSAUR, and a new expansion in Magic Kingdom themed around Pixar’s Cars franchise. Speculations abound about a Monsters Inc. land possibly taking over Muppets Courtyard or even Star Wars Launch Bay in Hollywood Studios.
