This year will be very exciting for Walt Disney World. As we covered above, several great discounts are available to guests, and 2025 marks the beginning of one of the resort’s most exciting, transformational, and uncharted time periods yet.

Several projects are in the early stages of development, with Disney announcing a packed slate of ideas, rides, and attractions at the company’s D23 event in 2024. New experiences are coming to all four of Disney World’s theme parks, with Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios receiving some of the biggest changes.

Starting with Magic Kingdom, work is expected to start soon on the park’s upcoming new area inspired by Pixar’s Cars franchise. A new “E-ticket” attraction similar to Radiator Springs Racers in Disneyland will be built in Frontierland, providing a breath of fresh air to the decades-old western-themed land.

The Pixar influence doesn’t stop at Magic Kingdom, with a new land based on Monsters Inc. set to come to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in the coming years, too. Dubbed “Monstropolois,” this new land will feature its own set of attractions and experiences, with the area’s big draw being a new suspended roller coaster.

While exciting, some of these projects, namely the Cars expansion coming to Magic Kingdom, have been met with controversy and backlash, as some fans feel Lightning McQueen is not a good fit for Disney’s original Florida theme park.

Other exciting projects include a complete overhaul of DinoLand U.S.A. at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, with half of the park’s prehistoric land closing permanently in January.

  1. have they done away with all the rainbows promoting the less than 1% of americans. We have not been back since the woke Disney like Bud lite. we averaged once a year but have only been once in last 8 years.

  2. your person in charge of the rainbow promotion should be fired. Many family and friends are deciding to go to universal studios instead. i’ve been going since 1958 and it’s a travesty how the current CEO in charge has ruined a great family place into a place some families will not go to. My Wife and me took our entire family eight years ago and were very disappointed with the “woke” Disney atmosphere, especially in clothing and souveniers. You need to look at what the citizens of the U.S. did to Bud light after their commercial. seems Disney profits are way down like Cinderella move sales, wake up and save your sinking ship.doing away with historical rides and making too many coaster rides is not young family.

  3. While we appreciate the discounts these are at locations and times that nobody really ever uses. So really not much of a perk. Do better Disney and really read the room and your AP customers. If you want your AP customers to spend more money especially on food make it available every day of the week and at more restaurants.
