By Leave a Comment

A lot will be changing at Magic Kingdom in the upcoming years!

Magic Kingdom

A new Villains land is getting added to the park, a new Pirates of the Caribbean lounge is being created, a new nighttime parade will debut in 2025, and two new Cars attractions will be replacing Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America. A few months ago, Disney filed a permit that appeared to be for the early stages of construction for these two Cars attractions. Then, in September, the South Florida Water Management District requested some additional information for the permit, and now we have an update on the status of this permit!

Hold on to your hats, because Magic Kingdom is about to go through a whirlwind transformation.

Magic Kingdom

Not only will we be getting a brand-new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern in 2025, but we’re also eagerly awaiting the construction of a new Cars-themed area — even if it means we have to say goodbye to Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America forever. Disney recently hit a snag when it came to some logistics for the Cars retheme, but now it looks like things are back on (race)track. HA! See what we did there?

CONFIRMED: Disney Requests Permit Extension for Magic Kingdom Expansion

By 3 Comments

Magic Kingdom is about to undergo a MASSIVE transformation.

Rivers of America

First, the park is getting a Pirates of the Caribbean lounge, which is set to open in late 2025. Then there’s the new Villains land that we are ALL eagerly waiting to learn more about. An entire part of the park, Rivers of America, and Tom Sawyer Island, is set to be demolished to make way for a new Cars expansion that will expand Frontierland. Disney previously filed the first permit to begin the demolishment of that section of the park but recently had to request an extension for that permit.

At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, we got a ton of news about new offerings coming to all four parks.

Villains Land is also finally becoming a reality and will be built just “Beyond Big Thunder Mountain.” Animal Kingdom will get four new attractions, three in Pueblo Esperanza (the Tropical Americas-themed land), and Zootopia: Better Zoogether! will be a brand new show in the Tree of Life. EPCOT has ongoing construction at Test Track as the ride will open in its third version next year. Now, it is finally time for Hollywood Studios to start work next week.

CONFIRMED: 5 New Permanent Closures Will Hit Disney World

By 16 Comments

As Walt Disney once said, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” The same goes for Disney World, as a lot of changes are about to be coming across all the parks.

Magic Kingdom

D23 happened last month and we got so many new and exciting announcements! Unfortunately, these exciting announcements also mean that existing parts of the parks will close to make way for these new offerings. While change can be scary, and we are sad to see these parts of the park go, we are looking forward to what is to come in the future. There are currently five permanent closures on the horizon at Disney World.
