NEWS: Disney Debuts FULL LOOK Inside NEW Park Expansions

It’s time for the third and final day of D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event!

D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event

On the second day, August 10th, we heard a TON of news at the Horizons — D23 Experiences Showcase about upcoming theme park projects, new nighttime entertainment, new cruise line ships, new gaming, and so much more! Disney dropped a lot of awesome looks at each of the new projects and got us excited for the next few years of Disney experiences. Every announcement was confirmed to be in production and none were “Blue Sky” ideas. Now, today, August 11th, we’re getting a first look at all the models for each of the major announcements that were made last night!

Let’s go to the Imagineering showcase where models for the upcoming projects are being displayed! We’re starting with a look at Pueblo Esperanza coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

We got a close up of Casita from Encanto which will be an all-new ride in the new land!

The Casita model is extremely detailed and looks amazing!

You can also see an overall look at the new land that will take place in the Tropical Americas. This new land will take over what is currently DinoLand, U.S.A.

You can see an overview of the new land below.

Disney also shared a look at the new carousel coming to the Topical Americas land. This carousel will be a fully functional wooden ride carved by a local wood carver from the village of Pueblo Esperanza! We even spotted a model of a wooden Kevin!

It’s Kevin!

Next, we checked out the new Monsters, Inc Land coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios! There will be the first-ever suspended roller coaster in a Disney park.

We can’t wait to ride on a door through the laugh factory!

Next, we’re heading to Disney Adventure World at Disneyland Paris where World of Frozen and a new Lion King land will be built!
