The Disney Villains are taking over Disney World!
The Evil Queen
The villains have already taken over the Disney Vacation Club Member Lounge at the top of Bay Lake Tower, but now they are claiming more property. As we patiently wait for more details about Magic Kingdom’s Villains Land, which will lie “Beyond Big Thunder Mountain,” a new villains attraction will be opening this summer at Hollywood Studios. Disney just released a new look at this upcoming stage show!
Can you believe it? We’re finally here! Now we can take a trip down the bayou with Tiana and all of her friends at both Disney World and Disneyland!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
If you remember, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened in Disney World over the summer, and Disneyland’s version of the ride opened yesterday! Now that the attractions are complete on both coasts, we’ve actually got a hot take about the ride that you didn’t know you needed!
It is finally time to go down the bayou with Tiana and all of her friends at Disneyland!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
While Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened in Disney World over the summer, Disneyland’s version of the ride opened today! With the opening of this attraction, Bayou Country, which was re-imagined from Critter Country, is also officially complete! We are here on opening day, and we were surprised by the crowd levels in Bayou Country on this attraction’s opening day.
Disney parks across the globe are changing!
“it’s a small world” in Tokyo
Tokyo Disneyland recently announced an iconic ride will be closing and rethemed into an entirely new attraction. Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters is out, and a NEW Wreck-It Ralph-themed attraction is in. Buckle up, because we’re sharing everything we know about Tokyo Disneyland’s new Wreck-It Ralph ride!
A longtime Tokyo Disney ride is closing… for something BRAND NEW.
Tokyo Disney Resort
Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters – a variant of the attraction featured at numerous Disney Parks around the world – has been open at Tokyo Disneyland since 2004. However, after a 20-year run, the attraction is going to close permanently in October 2024 to make way for a new ride based on a different Disney property!
Magic Kingdom has A LOT going on right now! We are expecting lots of new things including a new Country Bear show called Country Bear Musical Jamboree and a new smelling experience coming to Storybook Circus.
We noticed something missing from Tiana’s Bayou Adventure!
And, of course, we’ve got Tiana’s Bayou Adventure coming right up! However, we noticed that Disney World has changed something major between the original concept art and today for this attraction…let’s take a look.
It’s a very busy season for the international Disney parks!

Last year, Hong Kong Disneyland got a brand-new Frozen-themed land, and in June 2024, Tokyo DisneySea is getting the highly-anticipated Fantasy Springs expansion. Shanghai Disney Resort got a new Zootopia land in 2023 as well, but now, the resort is getting even more additions!
Disney World is constantly adding new experiences to the parks!
Cinderella Castle
Currently, we’re waiting on the completion of the transformation of EPCOT, but we’ve already seen plenty of other additions so far this year like TRON Lightcycle / Run and Roundup Rodeo BBQ. Now, Disney has announced a new addition to Magic Kingdom…one that has us scratching our heads.
Since it was first announced, we’ve been SO excited for the chance to have our first walkthrough of the Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana! But as much as we’re looking forward to our chance to play in this space…we’re also getting more and more worried.

Guests will be able to explore what Disney has described as a “lush exploration trail” that allows explorers to “play with magical, living water” through an immersive walk-through attraction. Well, we sure hope so.
A NEW attraction is opening this fall (2023) in EPCOT: Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana.

We’ve been keeping a close eye on construction for this attraction and have seen lots of new rock formations, plenty of foliage, and even what appears to be the entrance go up in World Nature. Now, Disney has released NEW photos of the attraction! [Read more…]
