The Disney Theme parks are always evolving and changing and you all seemed to enjoy our
videos discussing the new additions coming to Walt Disney World and Disneyland in 2019.
Well with the recent D 23 Destination D event that took place in Orlando in mid November,
a lot of new important details of previously announced projects were revealed.
At Destination D they also announced additional brand new attractions and experiences making
their way into the parks in 2019.
So think of this as a follow up video of our previous videos as we discuss all these details
and count down the Top 10 New Disney Attractions- The Updates and Announcements!
Number 10 At Epcot, construction is well underway on
the new Ratatouille Ride which will have a home behind the France Pavilion in World Showcase.
It’s rumoured to open in 2020 and this trackless dark ride is a clone from The Walt Disney
Studios Park in Paris.
There, the ride is called Ratatouille: L'Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy which after my
horrible French, translates to Ratatouille: Remy’s Totally Zany Adventure.
For english marketing sake, Disneyland Paris just calls the ride Ratatouille: The Adventure
and fans weren’t too sure if this would also be the name for the attraction at Epcot.
Well it was officially announced that the ride would be called Remy’s Ratatouille
Adventure which I gotta say flows off the tongue pretty well and is simple and to the
point.
It’s great to finally have something to call this ride other than the Ratatouille
ride.
Number 9 Now Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure isn’t
the only addition that we’ll be seeing in the France Pavilion.
It was announced that A new Beauty and the Beast Sing along based off the 2017 live action
film, will also find a home in France.
Now this sing a long will be in addition to the impressions de France film that currently
plays in the theatre, so this is not replacing Impressions de France- at least not at this
point.
The sing a long is definitely aligned with Disney’s decision to bring more movie IPs
into Epcot and frankly, with this new experience tied to Beauty and the Beast, it’s going
to be a very popular attraction.
So popular that maybe it will need to fully replace Impressions de France just to meet
demand.
No other details were announced and its uncertain if this sing a long will also follow the same
kinda format as the Frozen Sing a long at Hollywood Studios including the live actors.
They were able to whip up the Frozen Sing A Long pretty quickly, and Disney did say
that the Beauty and the Beast Sing a long will be coming soon, so this “coming soon”
sort of implies that we could probably see this added in 2019.
Number 8 At the D23 Expo in 2017 it was announced that
the China Pavilion would get a new film to replace Reflections of China; no date has
been set but in November of 2018, it was announced that the Canada Pavilion will also receive
an update to their film.
The current version of O’Canada stars Martin Short as the host but since they said “update”
its unsure weather this’ll be an entirely new film.
The announcement was very vague, but with China, they said the new film would be a seamless
circle-vision experience.
The current 360 theatre in Canada has bars between each screen so if we do get this seamless
film presentation, these bars would go away and this would mean that an entirely new film
would be shot.
The camera rig used to shoot the China footage could definitely be used to shoot Canada footage
while they’re at it.
As time goes on, we’ll definitely learn a lot more, but it’s great seeing so many
things at Epcot finally getting attention after being stagnant for over a decade.
Number 7 Moving over to Disneyland in California, they’re
gonna be honouring the mouse with Get Your Ears on A Mickey and Minnie Celebration.
To kick off Mickey’s 90th birthday celebration, a new nighttime show called Mickey’s Mix
Magic will make its debut on January 18th 2019.
This is gonna be a brand new high energy show with a dance party atmosphere.
Expect to hear EDM twists on your favorite Disney Songs to celebrate Mickey Mouse using
lasers, projections and lighting throughout the park.
It’s gonna use the Main Street buildings, It’s A Small World and the Rivers of America
water screens as canvas’s for the show.
Even though Mickey’s Mix Magic is gonna be a projection and laser based show, they
are gonna be adding fireworks on select nights.
There’s been rumours that this show could be a spin on a the We Love Mickey projection
show thats currently at Hong Kong Disneyland.
The show includes almost everything that Disney’s described including EDM twists on classic
Disney songs- not to mention that Hong Kong’s Main Street is almost identical to California’s.
The projection mapping thats been developed in Hong Kong could easily transfer to California,
so get ready for Mickey’s Mix Magic to light up Disneyland beginning January 18th!
And just as an aside, while we’re on the topic of Mickey’s 90th Birthday, if you
find yourself in the New York City area definitely check out Mickey the True Original Exhibition.
It’s on right now until Feb 10th and features some really cool art displays that show Mickey’s
influence on pop culture.
From displays using forced perspective to authentic props from the Mickey Mouse club
TV show and an entire display dedicated to sorcerer Mickey, there’s something for every
Disney fan in the exhibition.
It was really a lot of fun and a great way to celebrate Mickey Mouse!
Number 6 Although not an official attraction and more
of a new mode of transportation, construction on Disney’s Skyliner is well underway at
Walt Disney World.
This system will connect Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot to Disney’s Art of Animation
Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort and the Riviera Resort
which is currently under constriction.
For over a year and a half we’ve seen concept art of the gondolas but finally, at Destination
D, Disney revealed one of the actual gondolas and gave the system an opening date of Fall
2019.
This means that it will definitely be open and transporting guests by the time Star Wars
Galaxy’s Edge opens in late fall of 2019.
So get ready for some pretty amazing and unique views of Walt Disney World coming next fall.
Number 5 Well Disney finally released more information
on Lighting McQueen’s Racing Academy coming to Hollywood Studios, and it gives us a much
better idea of what to except.
Disney confirmed that we’ll be face to face with Lightning Mcqueen himself live on stage,
and in the Disney Parks Presents a 25 Days of Christmas Holiday Party program they said
that they’ll be bringing him to life in a way that’s never been seen before.
Lightning McQueen will be sharing his race winning knowledge to get you across the finish
line.
In the program they showed him at Disney California Adventure but then showed storyboards of exaggerated
mouth movements- so it sounds like he’ll be an audio animatronic or the free roving
character but with a fully articulated mouth like Mater on radiator springs racers.
In the other video we mentioned that the Sunset Showcase theatre currently has these screens
around the venue.
Well, Disney revealed that they’d be bringing us into the world of cars through 14 foot
tall screens around the theatre.
The current screens are definitely being expanded to allow for what sounds like a very immersive
experience.
With more and more details announced and confirmed, once this opens in Spring of 2019, i think
it’s gonna be a very popular attraction at Hollywood Studios.
Number 4 We’ve always known that Star Wars Galaxy’s
Edge at both Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios would have two attractions, but now
we finally have names.
The millennium falcon attraction will be called Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and the battle
escape attraction will be called Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
In our New Attractions coming to Disneyland video, we explained exactly what these rides
will be, or least the information that’s been available so far, but the footage you’re
seeing now is brand new footage of the attractions that Disney just released; its pretty exciting
wether your a Star Wars fan or not.
It was also announced that composer John Williams would be composing new music for Star Wars
Galaxy’s Edge and its sure to make this Star Wars experience even more immersive.
Number 3- Epcot Firework Show It was previously announced that illuminations
at Epcot would be ending its 20 year run in 2019 being replaced by a new nighttime spectacular.
Well it actually turns out that when illuminations ends, a new limited time show called Epcot
Forever will debut in fall of 2019 before the permeant show debuts in 2020.
Now Epcot Forever will celebrate classic Epcot songs; the official statement from Disney
says that the show will “begin with a spark of imagination,” nice little figment reference,
“that swells into an epic spectacle of fireworks, music, lighting, lasers, and special effect
kites.”
It sounds like a pretty promising show that we can only hope will bring back songs from
extinct Epcot attractions.
Epcot Forever seems to be allowing Disney to keep a firework show in the park as they
alter the Illuminations infrastructure to get it ready for the new show in 2020.
With the whole shift of bringing more Disney movie IP’s into EPCOT this does seem like
a sendoff to the original Epcot which brings us into number 2.
Number 2 Disney also released concept art for the long
term firework show coming to Epcot in 2020, giving us a bit more insight into what we
can expect.
As you can see the concept art shows Miguel from Coco, Hercules and Moana so more Disney
movie IPs are definitely on their way, but it’ll be interesting to see how far they
go with it.
Disney says this show will celebrate how Disney music inspires people all around the world
which fits with World Showcase lagoon, especially since since these songs will be sung in multiple
languages.
With the new show you can expect floating set pieces, custom-built LED panels, choreographed
moving fountains, lights, pyrotechnics and lasers.
By the sounds of it, this is gonna be a very technical and impressive show!
Number 1- New Projection Show at DHS Now Epcot and Disneyland aren’t the only
parks receiving new nighttime shows in 2019.
It was announced that a new nighttime experience called Wonderful World of Animation would
debut at Hollywood Studios in May of 2019.
This show will celebrate the park’s 30th anniversary and when you look at this concept
art you might be thinking that it looks an awful lot like fantastic- but don’t you
worry, Fantasmic isn’t going anywhere and this projection show seems to be replacing
the Disney Movie Magic show thats currently at the park.
Wonderful World of Animation is gonna bring you though 90 years of Disney animation beginning
with Mickey Mouse, and what a better place for this show than the Chinese Theatre.
Come fall of 2019, it will be the new permanent home of Mickey Mouse in Mickey and Minnie’s
Runaway Railway.
Projection on the Chinese theatre area works quite well and a new fresh nighttime experience
is always a great addition!
So what are your thoughts on these additions and details, and which one are you looking
forward to seeing the most?
I’d love to know!
