food IS a theme park
Disney World is changing, and soon, there will be even more to experience across all four parks!
Spaceship Earth
Earlier this year, at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, it was revealed that Disney World would be getting eight new rides! Unfortunately, this means that the parks will be filled with construction walls for a while as these new projects are built. The good news is that while some projects are years away, a ton of new offerings will debut next year, two of which will be at EPCOT!
There’s a lot coming to Disney World in 2025!
Magic Kingdom
We’ve got construction beginning on the Villains land and Cars-themed land coming to Magic Kingdom, construction on a Monsters Inc. land beginning in Hollywood Studios, an updated Test Track ride with a new theme coming to EPCOT, and construction begins to turn DinoLand U.S.A. into Tropical Americas. And that’s not even all of it! There is an interesting trend though that we’re noticing with some of these announcements — why have no restaurants been announced but two new lounges are on their way?
It is crazy to think that 2024 is coming to an end, which means it is time to start planning your trip to Disney World in 2025.
Magic Kingdom
Disney made so many announcements in 2024 about the future of Disney World and all that is to come, and now 2025 is almost here, which means we are about to start seeing those changes reflected in the parks and resorts. While all these new additions and perks will be great in the long run, unfortunately, they may make your 2025 trip to Disney World a little more complicated.

Okay, can we tell you how EXCITED we are about 2025 in Disney World? So much new stuff is coming throughout the year and we have been — and will continue to be — thrilled to welcome all of it.
Magic Kingdom
Of course, we’ve got the traditional things we always look forward to like all the EPCOT Festivals (yes, EPCOT Festival of the Arts is a fave). We also love that time around Easter when we get to see the cool Easter Egg displays at the hotels. Then there’s Halloween and the holiday season — SO much to look forward to. However, there are some MAJOR changes happening around Disney World throughout 2025 that we’re also stoked about, so let’s chat about them!
UPDATED November 7, 2025
Okay, so we already know SO MUCH NEW STUFF is coming to Disney World over the next few years. We’re getting an entire land in Magic Kingdom dedicated to Villains (y’all, we are so ready for that to just happen already). We’re even getting a new Cars land in that same park. Two lands in one park? YES!
Magic Kingdom
Over in Hollywood Studios, we’re getting a Monsters, Inc. land. PLUS we’re getting a new land in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, too, Pueblo Esperanza, that will have a new Encanto ride PLUS a new Indiana Jones ride. Okay, our heads are exploding. However, you’ll be able to do some things for the first time in 2025, too, so it could be a good year to book that trip!
So we’ll admit it — our heads are still REELING from that WILD Disney Parks and Experiences Panel at D23: The Ultimate Fan Event.
Magic Kingdom
Like, y’all — we expected Disney to make some announcements about new additions coming to Disney World, but Disney completely blew our expectations out of the water. Now, we’re just trying to sort through all the awesomeness, like a Monsters, Inc. land, a new Cars land, a new Villains Land (we still can’t believe this announcement happened), and more. So we’ve taken all of those Disney World announcements and put them into a timeline of when they’re actually coming to Disney World.
It has been a weekend for the books at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event!
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event
One of the most anticipated events of the weekend was the Horizons: Disney Experiences Panel. This panel was focused on the parks, resorts, cruises, and more. In this panel, Disney usually shares a lot about their upcoming plans, and Disney did not hold back on the announcements this year.
SURPRISE! We’ve got some BIG news, EPCOT fans! After a years-long transformation project that resulted in new rides, new nighttime entertainment, and new spaces, EPCOT has come a long way since it opened in 1982. But there’s still more change on the horizon!
EPCOT
In fact, Disney just dropped some BIG news about the future of EPCOT. Keep in mind that the details are still pretty limited, but this latest announcement already has fans talking. We can’t wait to see these changes come to life! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We need to tell you what’s NEW!
