I existed, and I have all the information on what’s opening and when, and what gets on the perspective at Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. Here’s what you require to recognize.

Epcot

Disney’s main line is that “Epcot is always in a state of becoming,” and it’s acting on that property with myriad exposes for the park that will certainly begin quickly. There are 2 days you require to bear in mind for upcoming sees in the future: Oct. 16 and Dec. 5.

• First up at Epcot, there’s a main opening day, Oct. 16, for the “Moana”-themed Journey of Water. The conservation-minded water play area is full of super-cool interactive aspects (my fave is a falls that components like a drape if you go through it gradually).
• And extra information: Moana herself will certainly be close to the tourist attraction for satisfy-and-welcomes, likewise beginning Oct. 16.
• Speaking of personality conferences, for the very first time, Figment, the pastel winged dinosaur (from Journey right into Imagination with Figment — a cherished, if a little unusual, tourist attraction) began welcoming visitors personally Sept. 10. Heads up: This was so preferred that individuals were waiting greater than 3 hrs in the Florida warmth on opening up day to see this variation of the purple personality.
• On the night enjoyment front: A new nighttime amazing is involving Epcot around the World Showcase. It’s called “Luminous: The Symphony of Us,” and will certainly include “lasers, storytelling, projections and fireworks” per what we saw at D23 and will certainly debut Dec. 5. This name appears a lot like a mix of “Harmonious,” the program “Luminous” is changing, and the late, cherished “IllumiNations.” We’ll quickly see if the new program is a mix of aspects from those programs, also.
• There’s great information if you’re tired of taking a look at the countless building and construction puzzles at Epcot: The World Celebration community at the front of the park — attaching 2 various other new Epcot areas, World Discovery and World Nature — will certainly debut in December. So much, there’s no verification that this will certainly likewise open up Dec. 5 with “Luminous,” however it’s feasible these will certainly synchronize.
• Soarin’ Around the World — the simulator hang glider flight that presently “flies” around the world — will certainly go back to its initial Soarin’ Over California style, flying the state’s shoreline, orange groves and Disneyland amusement park, beginning Sept. 22, Disney’s 100th birthday celebration.

Magic Kingdom

Do you enjoy the traditional Disney attractions, or do you assume they require to be offered an upgrade? Wherever you depend on the timeless versus modern range, there’s information at the Magic Kingdom.

• The Country Bear Jamboree is obtaining recently thought of Disney tunes in 2024 and will certainly be called the Country Bear Musical Jamboree. The D23 panel pointed out whatever from modern-day nation to rockabilly to offer the timeless bear personalities (that will not alter) a new groove in a “Nashville-style review” (assume the Grand Ole Opry, however with bears). One enjoyable sneak peek: a nation variation of “The Bare Necessities” from “The Jungle Book.”
• Over at the Haunted Mansion, where there are “999 happy haunts, but there’s always room for one more,” the Hatbox Ghost will certainly be signing up with the macabre team in late November. Nope, he will not make it 1,000; the Imagineers state he was amongst the initial harmful entourage, simply “missing” for every one of these years.
• Pirates of the Caribbean will certainly obtain a sit-down pub eating place (day TBD).
• And on the much perspective for Magic Kingdom: a new land that will certainly “rival Galaxy’s Edge in size,” stated Bruce Vaughn, a Disney Imagineer, including, “I think this would be the biggest thing we’ve done in the Magic Kingdom, probably even bigger than New Fantasyland.”

In its location will certainly be a land that concentrates on the “tropical Americas” and “regions near the equator.” It was hinted that “Encanto” and the “Indiana Jones” movies will certainly be consisted of somehow.
