Magic Kingdom
TRON: Lightcycle Run
We’ve been looking forward to riding this attraction ever since it was first announced back in 2017! Slowly but surely we’re seeing this ride come together! This week, crews were busy securing more of the white material to the canopy structure.
More progress!
Let’s see if we can get a closer look at the action…
TRON Construction
We’re definitely getting closer, people! Disney has yet to share an official opening date for this attraction, so be sure to stay tuned for more updates!

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
There’s not much new to report over at the upcoming Guardians ride in EPCOT, but we did notice something blue at the base of the Novacorps Starblaster, which we hadn’t seen before!
Can you see it?
Crews had still been making final touches to the exterior building paint last time we stopped by!
We’re getting there!
The queue entrance and signage is also being installed! We’ll be keeping an eye on the progress of this new attraction, but for now, you can expect the ride to open in the summer of 2022!

Connections Cafe
Disney hasn’t shared what kind of fare we can expect from this new restaurant, but you can be sure we’ll update you as soon as we hear something!

Moana: Journey of Water
We can’t wait until we’re able to experience this attraction — sure to be unlike any other! According to Disney, guests will be able to “learn about the importance of the natural water cycle.” Last time we stopped by EPCOT, we took a peek when we took a ride on the monorail and saw a LOT of open space…

Expedition Everest
Sometimes rides need to shut down for scheduled maintenance, which is the case here with Expedition Everest! Most of the maintenance seems to be happening inside the mountain, because we haven’t yet spotted any work being done outside!

We’ve seen the occasional testing of this attraction, but it isn’t scheduled to reopen until mid-April 2022. We will keep an eye out for additional construction!

Over at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, the Splash Pad is closed for refurbishment.
