If there are two things we LOVE, it’s Disney theme parks and Disney+!
EPCOT
There are a few shows and specials on Disney’s streaming service that bring us to the parks, like the Disney Parks Sunrise Series, Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and The Imagineering Story! But in during the J.P. Morgan Global Technology, Media, and Communications Conference, Disney CEO Bob Chapek shared that the company has a secret weapon down the pipeline for parks fans…
That secret weapon? The company hasn’t had Disney+ operating in a full, robust way while the parks have been operating!

Though it’s not entirely sure what Chapek means by this, he did say that the company can create originals in the parks and use it for Disney+, so we could see anything from exclusive concerts to parades or other specials filmed at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, or any of the international Disney theme park resorts! Some of our favorite shows (like the newly reopened Festival of the Lion King) could also potentially come to Disney+!
Magic Kingdom — coming to Disney+!?
While we DO know some of what is coming to Disney+ in the coming months, we don’t know EVERYTHING, and when new parks content premieres on the streaming service, we’ll let you know!

He’s trying to follow the Elon Musk method of generating media hype at the financials conference. Promise some nebulous improvements and upgrades as a metric to something existing to make it look like he’s got a plan with actionable items in the works. Disney + had a miss with their subscribers (the 1st hyped metric) that they had been using to help keep the stock price afloat. Now they gotta pump up the balloon again.
I love The Imagineering Story and Magic of the Animal Kingdom. Didn’t much like the latest stuff they did with the scenic Star Wars stuff. I used to love the old planning videos that they sent out–used to watch them with my kids when they were little. I want park music! I listen to it on youtube but Disney + would be easier.
I would love this. I’m old enough to remember Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color TV show (1960’s). The absolute best episodes were when they filmed visiting Disneyland and riding some of the attractions. It would be great to see not only WDW and Disneyland, but visiting all of the parks around the world.
One of my favorite shows on Disney+ is the Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Would love to see additional episodes. Maybe they could do more behind the scenes in the other theme parks that aren’t too much of a spoil the magic kind of thing. That show definitely didn’t spoil the magic only made me love the park even more.
AngD, same here!
Tyler, my family used to watch those planning videos over and over, too.
