The holiday season has arrived in Disney World, and we’re big fans of hunting down all of the holiday happenings going on inside AND outside of the parks. If you find yourself in search of another Christmasy thing to do after visiting the gingerbread displays and treats at Disney World hotels, getting your jolly on at Disney World’s after hours parties, and scoping out all of the decorated Christmas trees at Disney Springs, there’s one more stop we’re begging you to make on your holiday tour.
Disney World is going through some serious changes — and we can’t wait to learn more about them!
EPCOT
That’s why we always get so excited about events hosted by D23: The Official Disney Fan Club. Back in August, we attended the D23 Expo where Disney dropped a ton of announcements about park expansions, cruises, movies, and so much more. And, now we know when we might get even more details about what’s in store for the Walt Disney Company!
Recently, Disney World announced that a classic Hollywood Studios attraction is CLOSING.

That’s right, we’ll soon be saying goodbye to Muppet*Vision 3D and all of Muppets Courtyard as the area gets replaced with a Monsters, Inc.-themed land. As a consolation, Disney will be replacing Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster with a Muppets coaster. But even with that change, the loss of Muppet*Vision is pretty controversial — and fans have a lot of questions and concerns!
Disney World’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass may still be new, but it’s already proven to be incredibly popular.

The new skip-the-line service allows each guest who purchases it one one-time entry to each Lightning Lane experience in the selected theme park — but at a pretty hefty price. Still, that hasn’t stopped folks from selling the service out in some parks over the week of Thanksgiving — and on Monday, Lightning Lane Premier Pass sold out in every single Disney World park.
Disney will unveil a brand-new take on a classic EPCOT ride in 2025!
Test Track
In June 2024, Test Track closed to be reimagined as a new, third version of the ride. The new iteration of the attraction will take inspiration from its predecessor, World of Motion, and is currently scheduled to debut in 2025. And, if that isn’t enough to get you hyped for the revamp, there are also 6 BIG additions coming to Test Track 3.0!
There are plenty of changes going on at Disney World right now — and we’re pretty darn excited about them!
Welcome to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Over at Animal Kingdom, the new Tropical Americas Land is already underway, and Villains Land and Cars attractions in Magic Kingdom are coming in the future, too. Now that we officially know where the new Monsters, Inc. Land coming to Hollywood Studios will be located, we’re diving into the concept art to see what we can decode.
