D23 is the ultimate Disney fan expo that happens every two years in Anaheim California.

The gives us a glimpse into everything Disney from animation to film and of course the theme

parks.

This year the Disney Parks booth on the show floor gave us a lot of insight into Epcot’s

transformation that’s currently underway.

You can usually expect to hear some exciting announcements and updates about Disneyland

and Walt Disney World at the Parks panel and this year was no different.

Bob Chapek, Chairman of Parks, Experiences and products, lead this years presentation

and the next couple years are definitely an exciting time for the Disney theme parks.

So today we’re gonna be counting down the Top 10 new additions & attractions Coming

to Walt Disney World & Disneyland!

Number 10 At Disneyland you can expect to see a brand

new daytime parade called Magic Happens make its way down Main Street USA in Spring of

2020.

This new parade will feature characters from many Disney classics including Moana and Coco.

Bob Chapek said the parade will celebrate awe inspiring moments of magic that are at

the heart of so many Disney stories.

It’s 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 we got a sneak peak into the song sung by Jordan Fisher.

So look out for Magic Happens coming to Disneyland in 2020.

Number 9With Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge now set to open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

in Walt Disney World, they’re hard at work on the new Star Wars hotel and at D23 we found

out this would be called Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser.

It’ll be a 2 day 2 night immersive adventure that will take you into a Galaxy Far Far away

on the Hylcian.

All of your experiences from dining to activities will have you interacting with the characters

and crew along the way, and the choices you make affect your journey.

This day journey includes a trip into Batuu and while you’re on the Hylcian, everyone

regardless of age will be able to take part in a training remote and wield a lightsaber.

The entire journey is the first of its kind and will definitely be the most immersive

experience Disney has created to date.

No opening date was shared but I’m sure we can expect it to be open by Walt Disney

World's 50th in 2021.

Number 8 It was announced earlier this year that Disneyland

would be getting Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Toontoon in addition to Hollywood

Studios at Walt Disney World.

The ride at Disneyland is set to open in 2022 and at D23 we got concept art of what the

outside of the attraction will look like.

The El Captitoon theatre will be the home of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway which

will be taking over the current location of the Gag Factory Five and Dime Gift Shop.

Once you enter the El Caption Theatre it will feature an exhibit set up by the ToonTown

hysterical society, then you’re sucked into the wacky cartoon world of a Mickey Mouse

Short.

The physical ride itself will be the same as what’s gonna be opening at Hollywood

Studios in Spring of 2020 but it’s really fun seeing the original design of the exterior

and interior.

This will be an excellent addition to Mickey’s Toon town at Disneyland.

Number 7 We’ve known since late 2018 that Disney

California Adventure would be getting a Marvel themed land.

Construction is well underway at the park but it was revealed at D23 that this new land

will be called Avengers Campus where the Avengers are getting ready to recruit the next generation

of Superheroes.

Phase one of Avengers Campus will open in 2020 and will be home to 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.

{Scot Drake} We will be welcome to an open house.

Where the kids are excited to invite us for a test drive of their latest invention: 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 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.

Number 6 So we just talked about Phase 1 of Avenges

Campus but at D23 Bob Chapek also announced a brand new E- ticket attraction for Phase

2.

This building here is the Avengers Headquarters and it’ll be the home of a brand new attraction.

There was no name given but Disney said you’ll be teaming up with the Avengers in a battle

to save the world from one the most powerful villains you’ll ever face.

{Bob Chapek} And for the very first time we all get to step aboard a Quinjet and fly to

Wakanda.

The Disney parks blog has said that a new ride system is being developed, but seeing

as how we’ll be flying into Wakanda, a ride system similar to Flight of Passage in Pandora

could possibly lend itself well to this attraction.

There’s been no opening date announced for phase 2 but I’m sure we can expect to see

some sort of simulator attraction for this new Avengers ride as new information becomes

available.

Number 5 One of the biggest announcements made at D23

was about Epcot’s transformation.

Bob Chapek said they’re infusing Epcot with more ways to dream and more way to be inspired.

{Bob Chapek}It’ll be a park that will be more Disney, more family, more timeless and

more relevant to the millions of guests that visit us each year.

Epcot.

Dedicated to inspiring everyone.

The magic of possibilities.

This here is the new Epcot logo which is a fresh take on the old logo from Epcot Centre.

This was the model on display at the parks booth and there’s a lot to be excited about.

Epcot’s transformation which is already underway includes the redesign of the front

entrance.

The transformation will continue into what we currently know as Future World but that

name won’t be for too long.

Eventually Epcot will get rid of the Future World name and the park will be unified by

four different neighbourhoods.

There’s gonna be World Showcase, World Discovery, World Celebration and World Nature.

In addition to the entrance, World Celebration will feature many kinetic elements throughout

the land and will also be home to a multi level festival centre as well as a brand new

statute of Walt Disney.

Imagination will also be part of World Celebration, and although no announcements were made about

this pavilion they did announce that Spaceship Earth will be seeing some updates.

*Insert Bob Chapek*

{Bob Chapek} The new Spaceship earth will still feature great moments of human history.

But instead of inventions and technology we’ll focus on something that binds all of humanity

together: storytelling.

Most of the scenes we all know and love will remain but this fresh incarnation of the ride

will feature some brand new scenes and will follow what they’re calling the “Story

light” through this journey.

No specific dates have been announced but expect a fresh update on this classic attraction

in the near future.

Number 4 The neighbourhood on the east side of Epcot

will be known as World Discovery.

At D23 we learned that the Guardians of the Galaxy attraction will be called Guardians

of the Galaxy Cosmic rewind.

You’ll start your journey in the Galaxarium which will take you out of earth and onto

the planet of Xandar.

We’ve known this ride was roller coaster but it was announced that it’ll be the first

Disney coaster with a reverse launch; it’s definitely gonna be a hit at Epcot.

It was announced earlier this year that the play pavilion would be taking over the home

of the former Wonders of Life pavilion and some new concept art was shared as D23.

The Play pavilion will be home to interactive virtual experiences and will be open in time

for Walt Disney World’s 50th in 2021.

Next door at Mission Space, construction on the new Space Restaurant is also underway

and at D23 we learned it would be called Space 220 Restaurant.

You’re gonna 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; that’s where the

220 name comes from.

This is definitely gonna be a one of a kind dining experience which is set to open Winter

of 2019.

Number 3 Another one of Epcot’s neighbourhoods will

be World Nature and this will be west side that will includes the Land Pavilion as well

as the Seas with Nemo and Friends.

We learned at D23 that the new film Awesome Planet in the Land Pavilion would debut in

January of 2020.

Also, a brand new attraction experience called Journey of Water, inspired by Disney’s Moana

will make its way into World Nature in the future.

This is the first Moana attraction Disney has brought into their parks and here you’ll

be able to interact with magical living water.

Looking at the concept art released, it seems like Disney will be integrating this IP in

a classic way where Moana is just inspiring elements in this walk through exploration

trail.

Looking at the concept art, it appears that Journey of Water will be right about here

and will lead into the Seas Pavilion which is a pretty fitting transition.

Number 2 The last neighbourhood at Epcot will be World

Showcase.

At D23 we learned that the new film in the China Pavilion would be called Wondrous China.

This is gonna be a seamless 360 prevention but there was no release date was announced.

In Canada the new film will be called Far And Wide in Circle Vision 360 and that will

debut in January of 2020.

Also in January of 2020 we can expect to see the new Beauty and the Beast sing A long make

its way into the France pavilion.

Bob Chapak said we’ll be able to sing along to our favourite songs while enjoying a comedic

twist to this tale as old as time.

The comedic twist does sound like this sing a long could be presented in the same way

as the frozen sing a long at Hollywood Studios.

We also got a sneak peak into Epcot Forever, the new firework show that will debut on October

1st.

The show looks fantastic and the score really reflects that classic Epcot sound, featuring

the Voices of Liberty

{Vocalists} Magic Journeys.

Mystic flights.

The future world is born today.

The show really seems like it’ll be a great way to celebrate Epcot.

It was also announced that the new show preceding Epcot forever would be called Disney’s Harmonious

and its being described as the largest nighttime spectacular in Epcot’s history.

This show will celebrate the power of music and will debut in 2020, but we’ve saved

the best Epcot announcement for last.

Number 1 One of the biggest announcements at D23 was

that we’ll be stepping in time to a brand new Mary Poppins attraction in the United

Kingdom Pavilion.

{Music} Step in time.

Step in time.

Step in time.

Step in time.

Never need a reason never need a rhyme.

Get in line to step in time.

This has been a heavily rumoured addition coming to World Showcase and it’s great

that we finally got confirmation.

It marks the first time Mary Poppins is getting her own attraction.

The UK pavilion will be home to Cherry Tree lane which most likely will be placed in this

area back here in the pavilion.

When you look closely at the concept art it shows the characters from Mary Poppins Returns

but none the less the attraction will still celebrate this iconic character.

You’ll enter the Banks residence and embark on what we can only imagine will be a musical

journey.

There weren’t many specific details shared at the Expo but I think we can expect a Disney

dark ride with this one.

I mean that will lend itself really well to all the magic and nuance of Mary Poppins.

No dates were announced but I’m sure we’ll get more information as Epcot’s transformation

continues.

So if you had to pick one addition for Disneyland and one for Walt Disney World, which ones

are you looking forward to the most?

Also what are you thoughts on Epcot’s transformation?

I’d love to know!
