Disney’s Hollywood Studios: It’s Good to Be Bad
Are you the type who secretly roots for the Villains? Then you’re going to love “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” debuting next summer. This devilishly delightful live show features fan-favorite fiends like Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent breaking through magical mirrors to put on a wickedly witty performance. With humor sharper than the Evil Queen’s poisoned apple and plenty of mischievous charm, this show promises to be a wickedly good time.
But that’s not all—grab your dinglehoppers and dive into the brand-new “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure.” Ariel is trading her sea legs for the stage in a show that brings the beloved animated classic to life with stunning puppetry, live performers, and unforgettable songs. From “Under the Sea” to “Part of Your World,” it’s time to make this shell-ebration part of your Disney world!
EPCOT: Gears, Cheers, and Spheres
Walt Disney World is getting TWO new lounges! Next year, Spaceship Earth will shine brighter than ever with a new Spaceship Earth Lounge opening in late spring. This elevated retreat is the perfect spot to toast EPCOT’s iconic history while enjoying breathtaking views of World Celebration Gardens and the nightly fireworks. Talk about dining with a side of stardust!
Also on the horizon, Test Track is hitting the accelerator with an all-new storyline, thrilling fans starting late summer. If you’ve ever dreamed of life in the fast lane, this revamped experience will have you saying “Ka-chow!” (Yes, even Lightning McQueen would approve.)
Magic Kingdom: A Parade to Light Up Your Night
Nighttime magic returns to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom with the all-new “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away” parade! Debuting summer 2025, this glowing spectacle features fan-favorite characters like Moana, Peter Pan, and Elsa lighting up the night in a parade filled with nostalgia and innovation. Guided by the enchanting Blue Fairy, each float and costume will shimmer like a wish upon a star.
Need a place to let your inner pirate set sail? A Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired tavern will be opening in Adventureland late next year. Expect hearty grog, tasty grub, and perhaps a few mysterious surprises. (We wouldn’t put it past Jack Sparrow to make an appearance!)
Animal Kingdom: Wild New Adventures
The Tree of Life Theater will roar to life with “Zootopia: Better Zoogether!” in winter 2025. This wild 4D production brings Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, and their zany pals to the stage in a way that’s sure to make tails wag and feathers flutter. And speaking of Animal Kingdom, make sure to take one last ride on DINOSAUR before this fan-favorite Walt Disney World attraction goes extinct to make way for the brand-new Tropical Americas land!
