Between movie news, park updates, and so much more, D23 really gave us a lot of news this year. And one of the most exciting announcements of the entire weekend was the updates we got on Villains Land coming to Magic Kingdom. [Read more…]
We’re not going to lie. Our heads are STILL spinning after all the announcements Disney made during its Experiences Showcase several nights ago at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. SO much stuff is HAPPENING. We got more details about Magic Kingdom’s Cars expansion, Monstropolis in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Villains Land in Magic Kingdom, and more. We even learned that Dreamfinder is returning to EPCOT.

But Dreamfinder isn’t the ONLY Disney character making a comeback. Disney also shocked us with an announcement that they are finally fixing the Yeti on Expedition Everest in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. So, let’s take a closer look at that announcement and what it might mean for the ride.
As if we didn’t get enough major news during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event this past weekend, there’s MORE news out of Disneyland Resort you won’t want to miss.
Disney California Adventure
Disney gave us a look at the new Avatar Land and Avengers Campus expansion coming to Disney California Adventure during the event this weekend, but now there’s another announcement about the park — a new kiosk is on its way!
There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day!
Carousel of Progress
At Disney World, that big beautiful tomorrow involves a new version of the Carousel of Progress in Tomorrowland, and we seriously couldn’t be more excited. With D23: The Ultimate Fan Event just happening, Disney shared tons of updates on the changes, but when we heard this bit of news, we literally gasped out loud because it’s that good.
Smugglers Run has gone through quite a few changes recently, with the biggest being adding a new storyline including the Mandalorian and Grogu.
Smugglers Gambit
