Hello Disney fans! We have some magical updates coming your way from the enchanting world of Walt Disney World Resort. Let’s dive into all the excitement and new attractions you can look forward to!
First off, we have some bittersweet news. The beloved “It’s Tough to Be a Bug” in Disney’s Animal Kingdom will soon close its doors to make room for the new “Zootopia: Better Zoogether,” a dazzling 3D show set to debut in Winter 2025. With an immersive experience featuring your favorite characters from Zootopia, this is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Keep an eye out for the final show dates this fall and make sure to visit before it’s gone!
In more somber news, we mourn the loss of Tim Ellison, a cherished member of the Disney community and a friend to many. Tim’s passion for Disney was infectious, and he was known for his enthusiasm and deep knowledge of themed entertainment. He will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Now, onto some thrilling rides! Magic Kingdom’s TRON Lightcycle / Run roller coaster, which has only been accessible via virtual queue and paid Lightning Lane, will soon be opening a standby queue starting September 9, 2024. This should make experiencing the neon-lit, adrenaline-pumping ride even more convenient. And speaking of magic moments, fans spotted Jared Leto enjoying the attraction recently, hinting at exciting celebrity visits as the release of “TRON: Ares” approaches.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is set to welcome a new villains show in Summer 2025. Featuring legendary evildoers like Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent, this live-action spectacle in Sunset Showcase promises to bring a thrilling energy to the park. Make sure to catch the current Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy show before it closes on October 7, 2024, to make way for this dastardly new production.
Additionally, the 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is in full swing, showcasing diverse cuisine and live entertainment until November 23, 2024. New this year, the CommuniCore Hall serves as the festival center, offering a fresh layout and additional Global Marketplaces. Don’t forget to grab your Festival Passport for a full guide to all the delectable offerings and family-friendly activities.
Lastly, for those planning to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the event is already underway. Enjoy exclusive treats, character meet-and-greets, and, of course, the festive Boo-To-You Halloween Parade. If you see the much-anticipated Minnie Mouse: Hocus Pocus Halloween Dress-up Sipper, be quick—it sold out fast at the first party!
