Yesterday was a very big day in Disney World. So many new rides, shows, and experiences opened up across all four parks.
But if you missed out on anything that opened yesterday, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Here’s everything new in Disney World, and all the changes you can expect if you visit over the summer.
#1 Soarin’ Across America
Yesterday, in EPCOT, an all-new version of Soarin’ officially debuted. In celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the United States, Soarin’ Across America takes guests across the entire country, showcasing the incredible nature and beauty of America.
We really enjoyed this attraction; it is a little bit more low-key than its two predecessors, relying more on highlighting the lovely nature than on some of those shocking moments and scene transitions(we’re looking at you, golf ball). We found this new version to be beautiful and relaxing, and we are so excited for everyone to experience it this summer!
#2 Jessie’s Roundup
Heading over to Magic Kingdom, Jessie’s Roundup, an interactive dance party with crafts and games, officially opened for the summer inside the Diamond Horseshoe.
This experience will be open May 26th through September 8th, as a part of Cool Kid Summer, and gives guests a chance to beat the heat and hang with Jessie and some of your favorite Toy Story pals. There are games and crafts, and then throughout the day Jessie, Woody, and Bullseye come on stage to perform several songs and dances that the crowd can participate in!
#3 GoofyCore
Another fun Cool Kid Summer experience also opened with GoofyCore at CommuniCore Hall in EPCOT. This is another opportunity for guests to enjoy some air conditioning while kids get to run around and get out some of that energy with some favorite characters.
This experience includes a DJ Dance Party with Goofy! This is a fan favorite spot, and we are so happy it’s back again this summer.
#4 Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live!
A new show has opened over in Hollywood Studios. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! is a show that originally debuted in Disneyland that takes guests into the world of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
It features Mickey and the gang and has a bunch of new songs that allow kids to get up and dance and play with their favorite characters. This show is so adorable and a great addition to Hollywood Studios!
#5 Walt Disney Studios
The old Animation Courtyard has been officially completely re-themed to Walt Disney Studios. This new experience is meant to transport guests to the real-life studio in Burbank, California, and immerse them inside the extremely popular Once Upon A Studio short
When you are walking around outside, it truly feels like you are in California at the real studio, and if you look carefully, you can spot lots of hidden characters all around, and some characters wandering around as well. Then inside, you can find an Alice in Wonderland playground, the Olaf Draws Animation experience, and so many fun details!
# 6 Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets
We are so excited that the Muppet’s have officially settled into their brand new Hollywood Studios home, and we have to say we LOVED this attraction. It’s time to visit G Force Records again, except this time you’re here for Electric Mayhem on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.
The details in the queue, pre-show, and actual attraction are phenomenal and really immerse you into the silliness and fun of the Muppet’s world. Then the actual attraction, while still the same track system, really does feel new and exciting. We love all of the Muppets seen throughout the ride and in that classic Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster black light aesthetic.
Overall, this really is an incredible re-theme that kept the integrity and spirit of the original attraction while seamlessly blending in new characters and story in a way that feels authentic and fun. If you haven’t checked out this ride yet, it should definitely be at the top of your Hollywood Studios list next time you visit!
#7 Bluey’s Wild World
Everyone’s favorite Australian pup has made her Disney World debut. In Animal Kingdom, guests can board the Wildlife Express Train, now narrated by Robert Irwin and the Bluey gang, and take a ride over to Bluey’s Wild World. Here, guests can meet Bluey and Bingo, play games themed to the show, and visit Jumping Junction, an animal area with all Australian Animals.
This area is so adorable and fun; however, be aware that access to this new area is currently operating under a virtual queue system, so if you want to visit Bluey, you’ll need to snag a virtual queue spot.
There are so many new experiences to try out this Summer in Disney World, and we will make sure to always keep you posted on any Disney news, so stay tuned to Disney Food Blog so you never miss anything!
