The new 3D-film experience — which is replacing the opening day attraction It’s Tough to Be a Bug, which closed earlier this year — is scheduled to open to the public on November 7th. However, certain guests will be able to experience the new show EARLY.
It may not be a Disney movie, but Wicked is still a magical movie in SO many ways, and we’re big fans here at DFB. Let’s just say we’re counting down the days until the next movie, Wicked: For Good releases in theaters.

For literal decades, Disney fans had been teased with rumors of a Disney Villains-themed land. Then, it finally happened!
The new Villains Land coming to Magic Kingdom will feature fan-favorite Disney Villains from popular Walt Disney Animation Studios films and two new attractions.
At the D23 Ultimate Fan Event back in August of 2024, Disney announced that the long-rumored land was actually coming to the Magic Kingdom in the previously undeveloped expansion are “beyond” Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Now the question is, when will the villains arrive?
If it seems like almost everything is under construction in Disney World…well, it sorta’ is! Magic Kingdom is getting an expansion in Frontierland, a brand new Villains land, and several upgraded rides. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is getting a new attraction in the Tree of Life and a brand new land. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is getting a revamped area PLUS a brand new land.
Beach Club Resort
Disney World hotels are also getting a lot of updates. Both Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Disney’s Pop Century Resort are getting new lobbies. Disney’s Beach Club Resort is getting some routine exterior maintenance through 2027. That hotel’s port cochere is currently closed, too, and it looks like it won’t reopen as early as originally thought.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney World is a Star Wars fan’s dream vacation. You get to dive into the galaxy and become immersed in the stories through shopping, dining, and rides.
Rise of the Resistance
One of the rides in this land is Rise of the Resistance. It’s quite possibly the BEST ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It’s a trackless ride, which keeps you guessing on where you’re going next, and it’s jam-packed with action from beginning to end, including your time in the queue. But if you want to make it even BETTER, we recommend doing this one thing!
