Are you beyond stoked for D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event? We sure are!!

There are so many reasons to get excited. There will be special exhibits, exclusive merchandise, presentations, and more! But, what’s got us the most excited about this year’s event is what they could possibly talking about! We’re getting ready for it, so let’s talk about the big announcements that we’re looking for Disney to make at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event this August!

As we have said many times, if you haven’t already marked your calendars for D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event this August, then you had better get on it! So what could possibly be in store for us in the form of announcements? Let’s dive right into the speculation zone for this one. Let’s go!

A Tropical Paradise Awaiting at Animal Kingdom?

As we know, for months, Disney had been teasing that a Tropical Americas-themed land would replace Dinoland U.S.A. in Animal Kingdom, and last month, we finally got confirmation they’re moving forward with the project. They even went as far as to release concept art of the new land, with potential experiences inspired by Encanto and Indiana Jones.

Based on the current layout of Dinoland U.S.A., it looks like the whole land will be undergoing a massive transformation. While plans can always change, we’re really excited about what we see, and Disney can go a long way to setting up even more hype and excitement by sharing new announcements about this land at D23.

Not To Be Dramatic, But This is The BEST Part of Disney World’s Animal Kingdom Expansion

Beyond The Thunder?

A couple of years ago, Disney announced a “blue sky” project that would bring a NEW land (or lands) to Magic Kingdom. Disney has always teased the possibility of adding Coco-, Encanto-, and/or Disney VILLAINS-themed lands and attractions to Magic Kingdom. The project has been dubbed “Beyond Big Thunder Mountain” because expansion will likely be physically located behind the Big Thunder Mountain ride.

At first, it was just a “maybe, what if” kind of idea, but it’s been confirmed as something that’s really happening since then. At D23, Disney could put all of our fears and speculation to rest by officially sharing the plans, opening timeline, the addition of new attractions, restaurants, shows, and more. We say Disney should err on the side of sharing “too much” info on this. We’d love that for a change!

Updates on the Treasure and Destiny

We all know and love the Disney Cruise Line, and its two newest ships getting ready to join the fleet, the Disney Treasure and Disney Destiny, are going to set sail in the near future!

D23 could be the perfect platform for Disney to unveil more details about these highly anticipated vessels.

We’re expecting to hear even more about unique design features, all the onboard activities, and of course the destinations they’ll whisk us all away to in the not-too-distant future!

When Will the New DVC Tower Open at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort?

Disney Vacation Club members have been eagerly waiting for the latest scraps of news on the new DVC tower under construction at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort (and who can blame them?).

The Polynesian Resort was basically perfect and now it’s going to be even more…perfect when this tower finishes its construction. So, it seems to us that D23 might just be the perfect platform to finally reveal its grand opening date!
