Not only has Season of the Force started in Disneyland (with some amazing food and merchandise), but Star Wars Nite has also started and May the 4th is just around the corner. However, another BIG Star Wars event is happening from April 18th through April 20th…and we’re expecting some pretty big Star Wars reveals and news.

We learned that a Cars expansion with two new rides is coming to Magic Kingdom, along with a new Villains land. We learned more about Pueblo Esperanza, the land that will be taking over DinoLand, U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We also learned that the Muppets are moving over to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster to make way for a Monsters, Inc. land, which will be taking over Muppets Coutryard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. In Disneyland, Avengers Campus is getting two new rides. Well, this weekend, Disney just dropped more announcements about these expansions — AND MORE.
Disney Experiences is at South by Southwest (SXSW), an annual festival in Austin, TX, that focuses on the “most important breakthroughs in technology, film, culture, and music.”

The festival will take place from March 7th through March 15th. Disney Experiences is leading a panel on “The Future of World-Building at Disney,” and a MAJOR celebrity just crashed the party!
So Disney made a lot of MASSIVE announcements in 2024, especially about the parks.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
We learned about all kinds of new lands and rides coming to Disney World and Disneyland. Now, we don’t have a LOT of details on many of these projects, but we expect to find out more soon, as well as learn more about Disney’s financial state, as a whole. That’s because Disney is hosting its Q1 2025 earnings call on February 5th — and we expect to get some BIG announcements during that call.
There are A LOT of changes coming to Disney World in the coming years! Many of these announcements have been the center of many discussions, including the new Cars attractions in Magic Kingdom or the retheme of DinoLand, U.S.A. to Pueblo Esperanza in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom
However, amongst the multitude of announcements Disney has made, there are a few that haven’t been talked about as much. We want to make sure you know about these more under-the-radar announcements, as they could impact your next Disney World trip!
Disney just dropped a ton of announcements about what’s happening in 2025 at Disneyland.
Pixar Fest Banners
We got dates for some fun After Hours events. We got more details about Disneyland’s huge 70th Anniversary Celebration. We learned when Halloween Time and the holiday season begins. We learned when the Red Car Trolley would close to make way for an Avengers Campus expansion. We also learned when we’d get to see the first EVER Walt Disney animatronic. SO much. BUT...there was something missing from those announcements: details about Pixar Fest!
Disney World is always changing, which, while exciting, can also mean some bittersweet moments when some of our favorite attractions close down to make way for the new.
Magic Kingdom
There is a lot coming to Disney World in the coming years, so we wanted to round up the permanent closures that we are expecting Disney World to announce next year!
We are tuned into Disney’s fourth-quarter earnings call!
