Vlog Disney is done with blue sky ideas
and delivered a ton of details on new
projects that are already underway in
the Disney theme parks around the world
at this year's d23 Expo Disney released
info on over 20 projects happening in
Disney World Disneyland Disneyland Paris
Shanghai Hong Kong and the Disney Cruise
Line some of these we may have been
expecting but there were a few that were
complete and total surprises to
everyone let's kick things off the some
really exciting announcements including
the one we have all been waiting for the
villains are coming to Magic Kingdom
this long anticipated land has been a
talking point among Disney fans for
years and now Disney is finally making
it happen villains land is coming to
Magic Kingdom this brand new land will
feature shopping dining and two brand
new rides this is the biggest expansion
in Magic Kingdom history and they are
about to break ground on this massive
project details are short on what
exactly is coming to this land there
were teases of Ursula and the evil queen
in the announcement this multi-acre
expansion has officially been confirmed
as the area Beyond Big Thunder Mountain
but Disney did not give a time frame in
previous discussions on this area Beyond
Big Thunder it was compared to the
Galaxy's Edge or Pandora expansions
which took four and 6 years to complete
from the date of their announce ments
this project will likely take quite a
few years to complete so it's likely we
be stepping into villains land sometime
between 2028 and 2030 but maybe they'll
surprise us with construction speed
though they do have quite a few other
projects in the works the villains
aren't the only ones coming to Magic
Kingdom a reimagined area of Frontier
land will be themed to cars and the
American West and feature two rides the
first appears to be very similar to
Radiator Springs racers in Disney
California Adventure and it will take us
out of radiator Springs and Into the
Wilderness with Mountain Trails and wild
terrain for a rally race they also
teased a ride for smaller kids but
didn't give many details we could see a
version of Mater's junkard jeree or
Luigi's Ric and roadsters but we need to
wait for an official announcement on
that one now for the controversial part
cars will be taking over the area of Tom
Sawyer Island and the rivers of America
if you look closely you can actually see
the Liberty Square Riverboat building in
the concept art work will begin on this
new land in 2025 and we'll be keep
keeping you updated as we learn more now
I know you've all been waiting for this
one nighttime parades are back in Disney
World Disney Starlight will debut in
Magic Kingdom In Summer of 2025 this new
parade is using new tech to create
Innovative floats featuring characters
from Encanto Peter Pan Frozen and more
this is going to be the first nighttime
parade in Magic Kingdom since 2016 when
the Main Street Electrical Parade went
back to the West Coast and later stopped
running for good next we got that Dino
Land expansion we've got information on
it y'all this 11 acre section of Animal
Kingdom will begin construction this
fall to transform Dino Land into a brand
new experience it's going to be
completed in phases and be known as
peblo de la esperansa this is a lush
rain forest with Spanish style buildings
and is described as being lived in like
the harambe Africa section of the park
and Animal Kingdom that's all about that
authentic attention to detail
restaurantosaurus will be transforming
into a large Henda to become one of the
larg Quick Service restaurants in Disney
World this area will feature a carousel
with Disney animals in a style inspired
by wood carved art pbla de la esparanza
will also feature two signature
attractions Indiana Jones is officially
replacing dinosaur and there will be a
completely new story being told in this
ride exploring a Mayan temple ind's on
the hunt for a rumored mythical creature
that lurks within the temple and we're
coming along to find it wonder if it'll
look anything like a Carnotaurus now
incanto is going to be the other major
draw of this land the Cita is coming to
life and we're stepping into the story
on the day that Antonio receives his
magical gift that lets him speak to
animals this attaction that will take us
through the Kasa Madrigal and into
Antonio's room which has been
transformed into a rainforest filled
with animals both rides are going to
open in 2027 also in Animal Kingdom it
was slipped into the presentation that
the new zootopia show will be opening in
the tree of life in the winter of 2025
and will be called zootopia Better
Together We finally have some info about
that pirates Lounge coming to Magic
Kingdom plus a brand new Lounge
announcement the just announced
spaceship earth themed Lounge is short
on details but we can infer a bit from
the concept art from that concept art we
can see fireworks through the windows so
this space could be the current GM
Lounge that's inside the test track
building and only accessible to GM
employees the windows and the angle of
the view from the concept art look
pretty similar or it could be in that
spaceship earth extra Lounge thing I
don't know there's plenty of little
loung spaces sprinkled around Epcot that
were put there for the employees of the
companies that sponsored those
attractions so I'm not sure exactly
where it's going to go but we'll
definitely figure it out for you we've
also got an update on that pirates
Tavern in Magic Kingdom this is going to
serve up food and drink and be open to
guests of all ages this is a family
Tavern they actually described the
offerings as seaworthy selection of
grogs and grubs so we're not sure if
that means this Lounge will be serving
alcohol in Magic Kingdom but there is a
bar in the concept art so seems like a
strong possibility both lounges will
open in 2025 now let's talk test track
construction has already started on this
ride reimagining and we've got a few
more details about what to expect when
it reopens next year the queue will
feature six exhibits that take guests
through the history of vehicles and the
ride will feature new show scenes
showing technological advances and
feature a Scenic outdoor route we saw
that in the concept art some of the
descriptions of the changes to this ride
along with the building design elements
are clearly giving a nod to the former
attraction that lived here world of
motion all right big surprise
announcement that we totally were not
expecting is a whole new land coming to
Hollywood Studios in Disney world
monsteropolis is coming to the parks
it's the first Monsters Ink theme land
officially announced and humans are
welcome to visit monsteropolis and step
inside the factory in a brand new
suspended coaster a first for a Disney
park yep you get to ride on one of the
doors work on this land will begin next
year and we cannot wait wait for more
details where is it going to go concept
art looks like it's an indoor coaster so
could this be a major overall of rock
and roller coaster in the surrounding
area or is this a completely new
previously undeveloped chunk of land we
don't know to coincide with the release
of the Mandalorian and grou film in 2026
Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run in both
Hollywood Studios and Disneyland will
get a revamp the ride's going to get a
new overlay so that we're traveling
alongside Mando and grou instead of
Hondo anaka and Chewbacca they'll be
creating the new ride scenes with Unreal
Engine which is part of the technology
they use to film Star Wars shows and
movies now let's head over to Disneyland
Disneyland is going to be celebrating
its 70th Anniversary but it's Disney
California Adventure that got the
spotlight at d23 Avatar is coming to
Disney California Adventure and it's not
just going to be one little walkthrough
experience it's going to be a whole land
this time you're going to find it in DCA
it's going to be different from the
world of Pandora in Animal Kingdom this
is going to be based on the second film
of the franchise of way of water and
future films as well including Avatar
fire and Ash the title which was just
revealed at d23 as well for the third
Avatar film a brand new boat ride will
debut in this land doesn't look to be a
repeat or overlay of the na'vi River
Journey concept the boat in the concept
art looks much bigger and the
surroundings are way spookier kind of
looks like you're traveling through a
pandoran swamp the ride was described as
a thrilling Excursion and a dynamic
intense and emotional experience this
may be the boat ride Tech we've seen
patents for recently that would allow
for much more control over the boat's
Direction and movements than in a
typical Flume ride a new Coco ride has
been announced the very first Coco ride
is coming to Disney California Adventure
this boat ride will take inspiration
from classic attractions like Haunted
Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean As
We join Miguel on a trip to the Land of
the Dead Josh tomaro promised
groundbreaking animatronics technology
and lots of it in this ride they're
going to start construction in 2026 now
Walt Disney a magical life is a brand
new show show coming to Disneyland that
will feature the first ever animatronic
of Walt Disney the idea is to bring
guests into Walt's office to see what he
might be dreaming up after its initial
run in 2025 the show will alternate with
great moments with Mr Lincoln the West
Coast version of Tiana's Bayou Adventure
will open at the start of the holiday
season this year on November 15th
Critter country is going to be renamed
Bayou Country to go along with the ride
opening and this area will include The
Many Adventures of Winnie the Poop the
Davey Crockett Explorer work news yay
the Hungry Bear barbecue jamere Pooh
Corner and the new Ray Beret in Lewis's
Critter Club some of the area may open
before the ride on November 15th and
some of these are already or still open
right now two new rides are coming to
Avengers campus in Disney California
Adventure and it will double the size of
Avengers campus first up Avengers
Infinity defense this is the one that
we've seen the ride vehicle concept on
the Expo floor for and Disney shared a
few more details about the ride this is
the one where you're going to battle
King Thanos in this ride and Disney
shared that you'll visit lots of places
in the MCU like Asgard wakanda and New
York City from the ride vehicle concept
this appears it'll be similar to Peter
Pan's Neverland Adventure in Tokyo
Disney se's Fantasy Springs and the
second ride Stark flight lab this is the
brand newly announced ride that features
twers pods on whirling arms that take
you on a simulated flight Mission Robert
Downey Jr will return to play Iron Man
for this ride and this one looks kind of
similar to the exper experience at
Universal Harry Potter in the Forbidden
Journey construction begins next year on
this Avengers campus expansion now
California isn't getting all the Marvel
action more Marvel is coming to Shanghai
and Hong Kong there's a brand new
Spider-Man coaster coming to Shanghai
Disneyland and this one looks like
Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic rewind
from the concept art we can see that it
looks very similar to the lift into the
ride building on Cosmic rewind and a
track and ride vehicle with similar
movement capabilities they spent so much
on that ride did we really think they'd
only build one version of it now this
one will take guests along with
Spider-Man instead of the Guardians Hong
Kong Disneyland is expanding Stark Expo
with another Spider-Man themed ride this
one is super low on details but from
that concept art am I mistaken or does
that look like Spidey and dook are in a
Tower of Terror like Drop shaft Pride
lands will be a brand new area of the
newly renamed second Park in Disneyland
Paris Disney Adventure Park it's going
to include dining and shopping character
meet and greets and a brand new ride
this ride's going to take you into the
caverns of Pride Rock and then follow
Simba's story Josh tomorrow claims it's
going to make you feel like you just
stepped into the movie Disney adventure
world is getting a lot of attention in
the next few years with frozen land
opening in 2026 and a new nighttime
spectacular coming to the park that year
as well all right ready for a bunch more
cruise ships in addition to the four
currently under construction or nearing
a first sailing date Disney just
announced literally four more more Ships
coming to the Disney Cruise Line Fleet

for 13 ships in total these new ships
