D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event

We just couldn’t wait for the Horizons: Disney Experiences Panel (like everyone else). Oh boy did we get all kinds of details on the parks, resorts, cruises, and more (Disney definitely didn’t hold back). But since there was so much they went over, we thought we’d narrow the scope for you and just talk about Disneyland and all that’s coming there!

As we were saying, there were a TON of announcements made during the Disney Experiences Panel at D23: The Ultimate Fan Event. I mean, they didn’t hold back! Right now, we’re here with a round-up of all the major announcements made by Disney during the panel specific to the Disneyland Resort. Let’s get right into it!

Marvel fans, this is huge! Avengers Campus is about to double in size with TWO brand-new attractions. First up, the long-awaited Avengers E-Ticket ride, finally revealed as Avengers Infinity Defense. Also, Iron Man is getting his own attraction, with Robert Downey Jr. returning as Tony Stark! In Stark Flight Lab, “you’re going to sit in two-person pods and deploy to a test station.
