By 11 Comments

If you would LOVE for areas themed to Coco, Encanto, or even Zootopia or the Disney villains to be added to the Disney World theme parks, you might be in luck!

The D23 Expo Has Ended!

During the 2022 D23 Expo, some Disney executives discussed a few Blue Sky ideas they’re working on for the parks. These are things that could come to the parks — a.k.a. they’re NOT officially confirmed and they could change substantially (or never even get built), but they are things Disney is working on. Mainly, they discussed a potential Moana and/or Zootopia re-theme for DinoLand U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park and new Coco, Encanto, and Disney villains-themed spaces beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom. If you’ve seen the concept art you might already be really excited about these possibilities, but we took out our microscope and now we’re highlighting the details in these that you NEVER noticed!
