The recent D23 Expo has given us all the feels with the news they’ve dropped. After getting an inside scoop at the Disney+ Panel (Lizzie McGuire is coming back — this is what dreams are made of!!) and the Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products Panel (have you seen the three neighborhoods coming to Epcot??), we made our way to The Walt Disney Studios Panel… And, we’ve got ALL THE DEETS about what’s in store for Star Wars, Marvel, Disney live-action adaptations, Pixar, and The Walt Disney Animation Studios.
The Star Wars hotel (Also known as the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser), which is a new type of hotel experience, is now available at Disney World.

Well in that onslaught of expected and unexpected news (Mary Poppins attraction, wut!), three HUGE pieces of Disney news for Walt Disney World went way under the radar.
Epcot’s Park-wide transformation was arguably the biggest, most paradigm-shifting news at D23, and lost in the haze of new neighborhoods and new pavilion, attraction, and dining info, you might’ve missed discussion of Spaceship Earth’s transformation. [Read more…]

As we discussed earlier, Epcot will soon have FOUR neighborhoods — which you can read more about here. These will “celebrate a unique aspect of what makes Epcot so special.” These neighborhoods will be known as World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature, and World Showcase. And get this!! One of these neighborhoods will introduce a NEW location for Epcot’s festivals!
