If you thought 2019 was a big year for the Disney theme parks, well just wait until 2020.
If you’ve been curious as to what you can expect at Disneyland and Walt Disney World
next year then this is the place to be.
We’ve organized the list according to opening dates so be sure to keep your hands, arms
feet and legs inside as we count down the Top 10 New Rides and Attractions coming to
the Disney theme parks in 2020.
Number 10 Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge has been a topic
of discussion for over 7 months now, but come January 17th 2020 the new 14 acre land will
be complete at both parks when Disneyland finally opens Rise of the Resistance.
This one of a kind trackless dark ride puts you in the middle of a battle between the
Resistance and the First Order.
Get ready for quite a lengthy experience with multiple detailed pre show scenes that begin
with you getting recruited by the Resistance.
You’ll then board a spaceship then find yourself being taken captive by the first
order.
Then once you’re in your ride prepare for an exhilarating adventure as you try and escape
where theres surprises around every corner.
From audio animatronics to special effects and action packed scenes, you’re experiencing
the most technologically advanced attraction Disney has built to date.
The adventure awaits you in Rise of the Resistance.
Number 9 Over at Epcot, some new films will be making
their debut across the park.
The first takes us into the Land Pavilion where Awesome Planet will be premiering on
January 17th, 2020.
This new 10 minute film will look at the beauty and diversity of our Earth using nature photography,
immersive in theatre effects as well as space sequences.
Also premiering on January 17th is Canada Far And Wide in Circle Vision 360 over in
the Canada Pavilion.
As an update to the former O’ Canada, this film will feature new scenes and a new story
with narration from Schitt’s Creek stars Catherine O’Hara and Eugine Levy.
This Canadian duo will surely be the perfect hosts for this new Epcot film.
Ahhhh okay just come down.
Breathe.
Number 8 A new Beauty and the Beast sing A long will
make its way into the France pavilion on January 17th.
When they originally announced this attraction it was supposed to be based off the 2017 live
action film but now it’s based solely off the animated film from 1991.
Expect a comedic twist to this tale as old as time that tells the true events of how
LeFou got Belle and the Beast together.
It’ll feature many of our favourite songs from Beauty and the Beast including some newly
animated segments and to top it all off, it’s narrated by Angela Lansbury who plays Mrs.
Potts.
Now this sing a long will be in addition to the impressions de France film that currently
plays in the pavilion, so this is not replacing Impressions de France.
This is sure to be a very popular experience for families in World Showcase.
Number 7 At D23 it was announced that the new Space
220 Restaurant would open in Winter of 2019 at Ecpot but this project has been delayed
and based on Job postings for the restaurant its’s rumoured to open in February of 2020.
Now although this is a restaurant, the set up does sounds like an attraction where you’ll
board an elevator that will connect you to a space station and once you’re inside you’ll
take in the views of earth, 220 miles above Epcot.
This is definitely gonna be a one of a kind dining experience.
Another new dining experience where work is underway is the Roundup Rodeo BBQ in Toy Story
Land at Hollywood Studios.
This new table service restaurant will shrink us down to the size of Toy in a rodeo Andy’s
constructed out of three cardboard boxes.
An indoor sit down restaurant was missing when Toy Story Land opened in 2018 so this
will definitely fills that void plus this theming fits right in and looks pretty great.
Disney recently announced that this themed restaurant will also open in 2020 but there
was no specific date given.
Number 6 One of the most anticipated attractions at
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway.
After many delays Disney finally set an opening for March 4th 2020.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway has you entering the Chinese Theatre for the premiere
of a new Mickey Mouse short, only then you find yourself sucked into the wacky and unpredictable
world of a Mickey mouse cartoon.
This is where the rules of physics don’t apply.
This experience will use new technology that’s being defined as 2 1/2 D- so you won’t need
a pair of 3-D glasses, but there are audio animatronics and physical sets.
Seeing what Imagineers were able to achieve with projection mapping for the Epcot Experience,
I think we’ll see some very similar technology used in this attraction.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway will also feature a catchy new theme song that’s
been created just for the ride; this is an aspect thats been lost in a lot of the newer
attractions Disney has developed so its really refreshing seeing the idea of an original
theme song returning.
In addition to the ride we can also expect a new Mickey Shorts theatre also opening in
March that will feature an original Mickey short.
So get ready for Mickey and the gang to move into Hollywood Studios in March of 2020.
Number 5 Heading back to Disneyland, come Spring of
2020 you can expect to see a brand new daytime parade called Magic Happens make its way down
Main Street USA.
This new parade will feature many classic Disney characters but also characters from
newer films like Coco and Moana.
At D23 Bob Chapel said this new parade will celebrate awe inspiring moments of magic that
are at the heart of so many Disney stories.
It’s honesty really great to see some of the newer films represented in the parade
and this all gonna be all tied together by a catchy theme song written and produced by
Todrick Hall.
At D23 they shared a sneak peak into the song sung by Jordan Fisher and boy is it catchy.
It’s a modern sound with a classic Disney twist so look out for Magic Happens coming
to Disneyland this spring!
Number 4 Walt Disney Imagineering and Disney Animation
studios joined forces with Cirque De Soleil to bring a brand new show to the Cirque de
Soleil venue at Disney Springs.
Although there has not been an official name given to the show, it begins previews on March
20th, 2020 and will officially open on April 17th.
The show will follow a young girl named Julie who’s father just happens to be a Disney
animator.
It’ll feature original acrobatic sequences, dazzling choreography and an original musical
score that will integrate Disney music and themes.
Brand new animation sequences have been created specifically for the show that will interact
with the performers.
Cirque de Soleil is known for creating theatrical masterpieces and when you mix that with the
incredible power of Disney Storytelling, this show is sure to become one of the must sees
at Walt Disney World.
Number 3 Back at Epcot we’ll be able to experience
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in summer of 2020 in the France Pavilion.
Work is well underway on this new trackless dark ride that is a clone from the Walt Disney
Studios Park in Paris.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure uses physical sets and 3-D screens that shrink you down
to the size of rat as you embark on this zany adventure with Emile and Remy through the
kitchen.
There’s many on ride POV videos online like this one here from LMG vids that will show
you exactly what you can expect and it looks like a really fun family ride.
World Showcase can defiantly use another ride so this will be a very welcome addition, not
to mention the footprint of the pavilion is growing in size.
This also includes the addition of a new restaurant called La Crêperie de Paris which will offer
quick service and table service options.
Number 2 If you’ve been following Epcot news, you’d
know that Illuminations was replaced by Epcot Forever in October of 2019 but this show is
just a temporary placeholder until the new firework show HarmoniUS debuts.
The show will for sure light up the Epcot sky in 2020 and its rumoured to have a Summer
opening.
Disney’s says that it will be the largest nighttime spectacular in the history of Disney
theme parks.
HarmoniUS will celebrate the power of music and how Disney inspires people all around
the world.
It’s supposed to feature moving fountains, physical set, custom built LED panels, lasers
and more!
In the Ecpot Experience they gave us a peak into the new show so let’s take a look!
Number 1 At Disney California Adventure, construction
is well underway for Avengers Campus, the new marvel themed land that is set to open
at an undetermined date in 2020.
Avengers Campus is where the Avengers are getting ready to recruit the next generation
of Superheroes and the land will be home the first ever Spiderman attraction in a Disney
theme park.
The Spiderman Experience invites you into the Worldwide Engineering Brigade.
Known as WEB for short, Peter Parker is one of the aspiring inventors where you’re invited
to test drive the Web slinger vehicle.
This interactive family dark ride lets you sling webs while you help Spiderman collect
the Spider Bots.
These kind of interactive attractions are always a hit at the Disney parks and this
looks like its gonna be another really fun experience.
Avengers Campus will also be home to the restaurant Pym Test Kitchen themed to Ant Man and the
Wasp and will also give you the opportunity to meet many of your favourite Marvel Superheroes.
This will all be in addition to the already popular Guardians of the Galaxy Mission breakout
that will round out the attraction offerings for Phase One of Avengers Campus.
So which 2020 addition are you looking forward to experiencing the most?
I’d love to know!
