food IS a theme park
If you’re holding off an exploration to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you’ll want to know when the new land is opening.

Themed to the Tropical Americas, this expansion is officially named Pueblo Esperanza.
We still are not over all the new and exciting announcements from D23!
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event
In case you missed it, D23, The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, took place earlier this month in Anaheim, California, and Disney gave us a glimpse at a bunch of new projects. During the Park Panel, we found out about additions coming to Disney Cruise Line, the international parks, Disneyland, and, of course, Disney World. Each of Disney World’s four parks is slated to get new additions. While it has been a long time coming, it was officially announced that DinoLand U.S.A. will transform into a Tropical Americas Land by 2027. There were three rides announced for this overhaul, but people seem only to be talking about two of the attractions.
It’s a great time to be a Star Wars fan. Star Wars is literally everywhere now. We’ve had SO many more movies released, with more to come, new TV shows, new books, new comics, and even new video games. We’ve even got Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in two Disney Parks when we get the urge to visit a galaxy far, far away.

However, a lot of what makes Star Wars great is its music. If you’re a fan of Academy Award-winning composer and Disney Legend John Williams, who not ONLY scored Star Wars, but also Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, E.T., Superman, and MANY more iconic movies, you’re in for a real treat. A new documentary on Williams will premiere soon on Disney+!
So we’ll admit it — our heads are still REELING from that WILD Disney Parks and Experiences Panel at D23: The Ultimate Fan Event.
Magic Kingdom
Like, y’all — we expected Disney to make some announcements about new additions coming to Disney World, but Disney completely blew our expectations out of the water. Now, we’re just trying to sort through all the awesomeness, like a Monsters, Inc. land, a new Cars land, a new Villains Land (we still can’t believe this announcement happened), and more. So we’ve taken all of those Disney World announcements and put them into a timeline of when they’re actually coming to Disney World.
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event dropped some BIG surprises and EPIC Disney news.
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event
On the second day of the event, 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 previews of 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, we’re getting a first look at all the Imagineering models for each of the major announcements!
We finally have DinoLand, U.S.A. news!
DinoLand, U.S.A.
Disney had a BUSY night on August 10th at the Disney Experiences Showcase: Horizons at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. We heard HUGE news about Disney parks, cruise ships, and even video games. Disney dropped new nighttime entertainment coming to Magic Kingdom, new lands headed to Magic Kingdom, and, of course, they talked about the re-theming of DinoLand, U.S.A. in Animal Kingdom. The last we heard about this re-theming project was that the land was going to become the Tropical Americas, but now, we have a name for the new land along with the Disney movie inspiration and new rides!
Get your fedora ready!
Animal Kingdom
This weekend, Disney hosted the massive D23 Ultimate Fan Event in Anaheim, California. The sprawling convention broke news from across Disney’s spectrum of offerings, including films, television streaming, video games, and parks.
There won’t be any whip-cracking or hat-saving over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios today.
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
If you are in Hollywood Studios today, we have some bad news about one of the entertainment options.
Major changes are coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
@Disney
After months of rumors, and talk of blue sky possibilities, Disney has confirmed a NEW land is coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This new land will be called Pueblo Esperanza and will take over the existing Dinoland U.S.A. area. This new land will include THREE new attractions and one of the largest Quick Service restaurants in the world. With everything confirmed so far, there is one attraction we’re dreaming of…
There is BIG business in Disney Parks memorabilia.

We’re always seeing auctions for things like actual ride vehicles, animatronics used in rides, animatronic skins, and more! It’s all about nostalgia, right? Well, if you’re still nostalgic about Disney World’s The Great Movie Ride (gone, but not forgotten), you might just have to raise some serious cash for a piece of Disney ride history on eBay.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
