Disney Adventures Galore!

First up, a ton of magical moments are coming to Walt Disney World. The kiddos (and let’s be real, the adults too) are going to freak out because Bluey and Bingo are landing at Conservation Station in Animal Kingdom in Summer 2026! You’ll get to play games with an animal twist, like “butterfly keepy uppy”, how fun is that?

Over at Hollywood Studios, you can get your groove on with the Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! show, featuring Mickey and Minnie on a super fun road trip to find their pals.

Plus, animation fans can look forward to “The Magic of Disney Animation” and the stunning “Off the Page!” area, where beloved characters literally leap out of their portraits and invite you into their world. Imagine meeting Mulan at an oversized storyboard or Rapunzel in a setting inspired by a classic multiplane camera! It’s going to be a photographer’s dream.

Epic Updates and Global Celebrations

Hold onto your pilot helmets because the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is getting an all-new mission on May 22nd, centered around The Mandalorian and Grogu! That’s a must-do for any Star Wars fan.

Speaking of new journeys, 2026 is the 250th anniversary of the USA, and Disney is celebrating with Soarin’ Across America. You can take an immersive flight aboard the Soarin’ attraction at EPCOT and Disney California Adventure park, soaring over incredible new American vistas by Memorial Day 2026!
