2027 is right around the corner! Can you hear us screaming? Is it fear? Is it excitement? We’ll never know.

Whether we’re ready for it or not, 2027 is around the corner, and that means that we need to be prepared for new experiences to hit Disney World. You know we’ll be first in line to cover them, so you know what to expect, but we’ve got to admit — sometimes we’re caught off guard by changes too! In preparation, we just reached out to our team to see what they thought some of the biggest changes for 2027 will be, and we’re telling you now, there’s one of them that’s really going to surprise you.

Major Tomorrowland Changes

More than one member of our team thinks that BIG changes are on the way for Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom. Not only would this be on par with some of the changes coming to other parks, but let’s be real… it’s about time. Now, hang on, don’t get mad at us! When it was created, Tomorrowland was supposed to be a look at the future, hence the name, but that’s no longer the case. It’s a big reason why Carousel of Progress is undergoing the major refurbishment it is now — the final scene was once the future, but now, we’ve pretty much got all the then-nonexistent technology it featured.

We’re specifically looking at Tomorrowland Speedway here, as well as Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor. As much as we love the Laugh Floor, when Montropolis opens, it’ll feel really out of place, and if they close it with no attraction replacing it, that means there will be TWO empty buildings in one land (the other is where Stitch’s Great Escape used to be). As for Tomorrowland Speedway, the version in Disneyland is seeing some updates in terms of electric ride vehicles, and at the very least, we’re hoping for the same for the Disney World edition.

Disneyland also announced a major refurbishment coming to their Tomorrowland, and we’re really thinking that’s just the tip of the iceberg — we’ve got a feeling Disney World is absolutely next.

MASSIVE Changes Coming to Tomorrowland in Disneyland

Popular Disney World Restaurants Will Be Dethroned

There are numerous new additions coming to Disney World — Villains Land and Piston Peak in Magic Kingdom, Pueblo Esperanza in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and, again, Monstropolis in Hollywood Studios. While new restaurants are coming to these lands, as well as new attractions, we’ve got a strong feeling that Harryhausen’s will be one that comes out on top. So much so that we’re thinking it’ll dethrone some current Disney World table-service favorites.

So far, we know that this iconic sushi restaurant from the original film will be coming to life, and that Michael Hundgen, Vice President of Creative at Walt Disney Imagineering, has confirmed that it’ll be “unlike anything else we offer at Walt Disney World.” The menu will feature “grossly fun” food, described as familiar flavors reimagined with monster-inspired twists. The team has already revealed they’re working on ramen bowls inspired by traditional Japanese flavors but with “monster-sized personality,” which will feature classic ingredients like rich tonkotsu broth and alkaline ramen noodles, plus others with monster twists like fishcake sliced to look like eyeballs and green eggs.

We’ve got a feeling that once this spot opens, people will be rushing to get reservations here instead of ‘Ohana, Topolino’s Terrace, and other heavy hitters that are often nearly impossible to get reservations for. That means we’ll all just need to keep our eyes peeled and act fast!

Pueblo Esperanza Won’t Be Ready

Finally, here’s the heavy hitter — numerous members of our team are convinced that, despite what Disney has said, Pueblo Esperanza 100% will not be open in time before the end of 2027. Yes, we know that’s over a year away, but based on construction photos we’ve seen, and just how much there is left to do, we’re really starting to worry. Not to mention, Disney quietly removed the opening timeline from any mention in mid-September — yeah, not a good sign.

This new land will have three new rides: Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto, El Carrusel de los Animalitos, and Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent, not to mention the new play area that’s also being added. Yeah, that’s a LOT of work to get done, and considering Disney isn’t even close to finishing the actual rides, the exterior isn’t even close to being done, there’s tons of landscaping left to accomplish, and ride testing still needs to be done before it’s safe for the public. Yeah, that’s a lot to do before the end of 2027, and we’re struggling to believe they’ll stick to that timeline.
