We’re still reeling from all the pixie-dusted surprises from the last few days at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. The first-ever attraction based off of Pixar Animation Studios’ “Coco”? The opening date for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disneyland park? Doubling the size of Avengers Campus? What a weekend!

Want to catch up on all the exciting announcements? We’ve pulled the latest and greatest Disneyland Resort news from the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase. Let’s take a look:

Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro kicked off the night with updates on the new Pandora-themed destination coming to Disney California Adventure park. The area will draw inspiration from “Avatar: The Way of Water” and upcoming Avatar films like “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” and feature a new dynamic attraction where you can discover the beauty – and dangers –  of Pandora. 

We’re going un poco loco for the new attraction themed to “Coco” coming to Disney California Adventure! Guests will join Miguel on a trip to the land of the dead with beloved music and characters from the film. Work begins on the attraction in 2026.

A tribute to Walt Disney is coming to Disneyland with the debut of the first-ever Walt Disney Audio-Animatronics figure at an all-new show on Main Street U.S.A.! “Walt Disney – A Magical Life” will premiere inside the Main Street Opera House and after its opening season, will transition to play in rotation with “Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.”

We’re going down the bayou on November 15, 2024 when Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, inspired by the Walt Disney Animation Studios film “The Princess and the Frog,” opens at Disneyland park! Also announced: Critter Country will be renamed Bayou Country when the attraction opens. We’re ready to let the good times roll!

Attention Star Wars fans: a new mission is touching down at Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge. The all-new story, centered around “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” arrives in 2026 in time with the film. 

We still can’t believe Deadpool crashed D23! After a few questionable ideas from the “Merc with a Mouth,” Josh shared updates and a name for the new attraction coming to Avengers Campus – Avengers Infinity Defense, and announced an all-new attraction, Stark Flight Lab. Construction begins next year on the expansion, and the debut of these new attractions will double the size of the land. 

This tasty gumbo pot of surprises has barely scratched the surface of all the thrills from the weekend. Check out can’t-miss announcements from Disney Experiences around the world — including new attractions, lands, nighttime spectaculars and more.
