BREAKING: Disney Villains Land Confirmed for Magic Kingdom

Disney has confirmed that the biggest Magic Kingdom expansion in history will include a Disney Villains land.

Disney Villains Land

Fantasy landscape with rocky terrain, futuristic city, waterfalls, glowing structures, dark castle on a peak akin to Disney villains' lairs, birds in the sky, and a perched crow in the foreground.

Once upon a nightmare… A place where poison apples are aplenty and magic potions can ruin your whole day. For all those things hiding in the shadows, it’s time to join them as we lift the veil on a forthcoming Villains Land at Magic Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World Resort.

As Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro announced during Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, this new land will be home to the Disney Villains we know and loathe from our favorite Walt Disney Animation Studios classic films — “Which means happily ever after may feel like just a distant dream.”

The evil ambition of all these Villains means that the possibilities are endless for the stories that can be told — and visitors to the dark and thorny land should be prepared for whatever chaos might come their way. 

The new land will encompass all your dreams- er, nightmares. The space will be home to two major attractions, dining, and shopping on an incredibly twisted grand scale. “Be prepared, you poor unfortunate souls,” Josh teased. “It’s going to be a fearless new vision for what a Disney experience can be.”

You might have just felt a shiver run down your spine. That’s because preparation is already underway at Magic Kingdom for this new land. Maybe think twice before you indulge in that next shiny red apple…

This will be the first new Magic Kingdom land since Mickey’s Birthdayland, later renamed Mickey’s Toontown, opened in 1988. It’s likely the “Beyond Big Thunder” blue sky concept first announced at D23 Expo 2022. At the time, concept art seemed to include areas inspired by “Coco,” “Encanto,” and Disney Villains. Imagineering later referenced the project, confirming it was still in development, at Destination D23 2023. The announcement of the Tropical Americas land including “Encanto” for Disney’s Animal Kingdom indicated that IP was no longer slated for Magic Kingdom.

Two “Cars” rides were also announced for Frontierland during D23.

Disney began filing permits for the area earlier this year and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is expected to close for an extended refurbishment. Liberty Square Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island may close, too — possibly permanently.

Frontierland has already seen some updates this year with the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Country Bear Musical Jamboree.

Stark Flight Lab, Fourth Avengers Campus Ride, Announced for Disney California Adventure

Disney surprise announced a fourth ride coming to Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure: Stark Flight Lab.

People are experiencing a futuristic amusement ride with robotic arms in a high-tech environment, resembling an Auto Draft-like precision. A sign reads "Stark Flight Lab" in the lower right corner.

If you’re up for another mission, Tony Stark has one for you. And you know Tony, he always wants to try something new and exciting, and it’s going to make you feel like a Super Hero yourself. With the just announced Stark Flight Lab, you’re going to sit in two-person pods and deploy to a test station. Then a robot arm grabs your pod and starts whirling you around in a simulated flight.

The ride will have multiple “test flights” so guests get a different experience everytime they ride.

And, a familiar face will join you at the Stark Flight Lab — Mr. Stark himself. Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as Tony Stark for the attraction.
