But at D23 today, even BIGGER details about what we will be able to experience inside the land have been announced!!
We’ve been eagerly anticipating the opening of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disneyland since it was first announced at the last D23 in 2017. Now we have more details!

During the Parks Panel at D23, more info was released as well as some fun new concept art to get pumped up about!
Fans of the Poison Apple Steins, heads up! A PURPLE apple stein you’ll definitely want to get your hands on has popped up over in Disney Springs!

We’ve been watching construction on the Cinderella Castle walkway in Magic Kingdom for months, and guess what, my friends!
Cinderella Castle Walkway
The walkway linking Fantasyland and Liberty Square by Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom has officially reopened for guests to enjoy!
Disney+ announcements came fast and furious at Friday’s D23 Expo in Anaheim
, and most of them were about new, original programming coming to the streaming service when it goes live on November and in the days and months after. With all these exciting new titles, we got to thinking: we’re going to be spending a lot of time binge watching Disney+ offerings.
Disney+
Forky, that lovable toy comprised of trash who simply couldn’t get out of his own way in Toy Story 4? He’ll be coming to Disney+ in a series of Pixar shorts where he poses pretty complex questions… for a spork and, really, for humans, too. What is love? What is time? And, according to Pete Docter of Pixar, what is cheese? (We’ve got some thoughts on that last one if it’s a legit question!)
Forky Asks a Question
Forky Asks a Question will be a ten-part series, and since they’re shorts, we figure we can knock this binge out in a day and be a lot more knowledgeable for it. (Or not; Forky is expected to pose these questions to his fellow toys, so the answers are likely to be pretty playful!)
