D23 is a club for Disney fans, and you can become a member for free, or you can pay a fee to be a Gold Member. D23 members get all kinds of perks, like early movie screenings, exclusive merchandise, and access to major fan events. But D23 just announced some big changes!
Disney hosted one of the biggest events of the year a few months ago, and we got a LOT of important information about upcoming projects.
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event took place in Anaheim back in August, and it was filled with a weekend of panels discussing upcoming movies, TV series, and theme park projects. It’s a great way to celebrate Disney if you’re a big fan, and it usually comes with some major announcements. If you’re already eager to get more important Disney news, then you need to know about a similar event happening soon!
HUGE changes are coming to Disney World!
Disney World
We are still not over all the exciting announcements that came from D23 this past August. Disney World is about to get so many new additions across all four parks. Hollywood Studios will be home to an all-new Monsters Inc.-inspired land. And while it was not announced at D23, Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy will close to make way for a new Disney Villains stage show. EPCOT will have an all-new Spaceship Earth-themed lounge as well as Test Track 3.0. Animal Kingdom is getting a massive overhaul as DinoLand U.S.A. will close to make way for a Tropical Americas-themed land named Pueblo Esperanza, which will include three new rides! Plus, the Tree of Life will get a brand new show called Zootopia: Better Zoogether! Magic Kingdom is also going to see quite a few changes, but could there be even more on the horizon?
Our minds still can’t get over the fact that it won’t be too long before we get a new Coco attraction in Disney California Adventure!!

During the D23 2024: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, we had the confirmation of the new attraction and that it will be a boat ride where we’ll see music play a large role. So, now we wanted to do a deep dive into the concept art and see if we could glean any info about the new Coco attraction coming to Disney California Adventure!
From the massive D23 Ultimate Fan Event in Anaheim, California, we learned that a new Coco attraction is coming to the Disneyland Resort.Â

The attraction will be a boat ride in Disney California Adventure that, unsurprisingly given the plot of the film, will see music play a large role.
It’s a great time to be a Moana fan!

With the live-action version of the movie in production and Moana 2 just months away from premiering in theatres, we are HYPED. And it seems like Disney is well aware of our anticipation because they just released a sneak peek of a new song featured in the sequel!
Spooky season here and there is a LOT going on over on the West Coast.

Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney, and Disney’s hotels are all decked out for Halloween. Oogie Boogie Bash is underway in California Adventure (and is sold out, in case you were wondering). Universal Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights is happening. But a NEW Halloween event is coming that is basically taking the concept of Halloween Horror Nights, but giving it a Disney theme — AND WE HAVE TO GO.
Animal Kingdom is gearing up for some major changes!
Animal Kingdom
It was confirmed at D23 that DinoLand U.S.A.’s days are officially numbered as a new Tropical Americas-themed land, Pueblo Esperanza, will take its place. This new land will feature three brand new rides, including an Indiana Jones ride that will replace DINOSAUR, an Encanto attraction, and a carousel that will feature some of our favorite Disney animals.
If you didn’t realize it, the Disney hype train it real!
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event
If you remember (as if any of us could forget), just last month during the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Disney dropped all kinds of major park news like new lands coming to Disney World, new nighttime entertainment, new rides, new shows, and that doesn’t even cover all of it! So, as you can imagine, ever since Disney shared all this news, search traffic has nearly tripled! Let’s talk about what’s got everyone frantically Googling and why fans are equal parts thrilled and freaked out.
Disney announced that the Tropical Americas will be coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom and we couldn’t be more hyped about it!
The Tree of Life in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
With the DinoLand, U.S.A. re-theme, we’ll be getting experiences inspired by both Encanto and Indiana Jones coming to the new land! Specifically focusing in on Encanto, there will be an attraction inside the Casita and we’ve got to talk about it!
