A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow: The Ever-Changing Carousel of Progress

There’s a great big, beautiful tomorrow on the way for Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress. For the last 60 years, this passion project of Walt himself has served as a powerful reflection of optimism, innovation, and family over time.

New Decades Coming to Carousel of Progress

In addition to adding Walt Disney to the very attraction that bears his name, Imagineers will also be updating all the scenes to new time periods, where we’ll get to see what John, Sarah, and the rest of the family are up to as they navigate ever-changing technology in new decades.

One of our main goals for this update was to keep the attraction relatable for today’s audiences by featuring eras in which our guests have personal connections. Lots of our team grew up during these decades themselves, so it’s been a real trip down memory lane to revisit the music, fashion, technology and experiences that helped shape our history all reflected in this family’s story.

Act 1 – the 1960s

When the show first opened at the World’s Fair, its story began by looking back about 60 years to the dawn of the new century. Now more than six decades later, this new iteration mirrors that idea, starting 60 years back from today in the 1960s.

In the summer of 1969, our Carousel family, along with millions around the world, gather around the television to witness one of humanity’s greatest achievements: the historic moon landing. Filled with awe, the moment captures the spirit of innovation and possibility that has always been—and always will be—at the heart of Carousel of Progress.

Act 2 – the 1980s

It’s the ‘80s, where everything bigger is better, and things keep on getting bigger! We pick up with the family on Halloween Night of 1985, and for the first time ever, Sarah is taking center stage. She’ll share how all the new appliances and gadgets are making life easier for the whole family.

Speaking of John, we’ll find him out on the porch handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, and poor Uncle Orville can be found in the bathroom with “no privacy around here!”

Act 3 – The New Millennium

With the ‘90s drawing to a close, our Carousel family is preparing to ring in the new millennium on New Year’s Eve 1999. Amid the excitement of the countdown to 2000, a new thing called the Internet is bringing John, Sarah, Jimmy and Patty – and the world – closer together than ever before.

And, not everyone is making it to midnight. Grandpa has already nodded off before the big countdown, while Grandma sneaks the TV over to wrestling when no one’s looking.

Act 4 – The Possible Future

As we reach the end of our show, we see the family one last time in the distant future, in a home off planet. From a helpful robot assisting with everyday tasks to space travel, the scene imagines a future where extraordinary innovation has become part of life and proves that a beautiful tomorrow is just a dream away.

To help bring this new finale to life, Imagineers looked back at original concept sketches by Disney Legend John Hench, drawing inspiration from his imaginative vision of the future.

The Electric Mayhem Arrives at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets

Are you ready. To. ROCK?!

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets comes speeding into Disney’s Hollywood Studios in summer 2026, fueled by the tasty tunes of the Electric Mayhem and the high-speed hijinks of The Muppets. And even more exciting – today, we have electrifying new details to share about the colorful cast of characters guests meet while hanging around the recording studio.

The Electric Mayhem: One Night Only!
The Electric Mayhem are headlining their biggest Hollywood concert ever! Anyone who’s anyone is in attendance to witness Animal, Dr. Teeth, and the rest of this groove-tastic group rock the house down. There’s just one little problem: the band is nowhere to be found!

Across town at G-Force Records, guests are treated to a VIP tour of the legendary rock and roll recording studio. Things might look a little different around this Hollywood institution, as the label has recently come under new management – The Muppets! We’re happy to say that our colorful crew has landed some new digs… with just a little help from Scooter’s uncle, real estate tycoon and owner of the Muppet Theatre, J.P. Grosse (he really puts the G in G-Force). Just wait until your guests see how they’ve made these hallowed halls their own, creating the perfect place to make sweet, sweet Muppet music together!

A Courtyard of Mayhem
Out in the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Courtyard, the attraction’s iconic guitar marquee will be making a bold new statement.

The Electric Mayhem has put their own spin on that ruby-red guitar, featuring a vibrant, psychedelic design inspired by the classic Muppet car paint job. The piano motif at the base will feature a golden key as a nod to a certain far-out band leader.

Star-studded Halls of Rock
G-Force Records is opening its legendary doors, giving guests a peek at where the melodic magic takes place. Things might look a little different around this Hollywood institution, as the label has recently come under new management!

Joined by the finest audio engineers (all penguins, of course), Scooter is doing his best to convince The Electric Mayhem to stop jamming and get to their increasingly restless fans. But will it be enough to get the band across town and on stage in time?

Thanks to the newest technological advancements from Muppets Labs, guests will board a super-powered vehicle in the alleyway just behind Studio C known as the Lengthy Immediate Motion Object (L.I.M.O.)!

Cue the Music: The Set List Is Locked
What’s a rock show without a killer set list? For Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, the music takes center stage. The Electric Mayhem teamed up with some of rock’s biggest names to deliver a lineup of tracks designed to crank the adrenaline from the loading zone to the final brake run.

Here’s what’s on the set list:
Song 2 – The Electric Mayhem
Born To Be Wild – The Electric Mayhem ft. Camilla the Chicken
Love Rollercoaster – The Electric Mayhem ft. Jennifer Hudson & Questlove
Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop) – The Electric Mayhem ft. Def Leppard
Walking on Sunshine – The Electric Mayhem ft. Kelly Clarkson
Each song brings its own energy, tempo, and attitude, creating a concert style experience where the soundtrack doesn’t just play – it goes from zero to sixty in three… two… one! And like any great show, the fun doesn’t stop with the final note. We heard the band’s been working on some bonus tracks…

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Dates & Teaser Treats

On select autumn nights, the sun sets over Cinderella Castle as Magic Kingdom park transforms into the center for all things spooky and fun. For those who yearn for ghastly vibes, it’s time to start planning their next night of magical frights. Today we’re sharing the 2026 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party dates, when tickets go on sale, and a few details on what to expect at this year’s celebration.

What is Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?

Mickey’s No-So-Scary Halloween Party is a separate ticketed event that happens each year at Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. Offerings include exclusive entertainment, Halloween-themed food and beverages, photo opportunities, exclusive merchandise, and character greetings.

Guests can expect a party that offers the ultimate family Halloween celebration: Show off their most creative Disney-themed costume and see the Headless Horseman stalk the streets. Gather candy around every corner, see their favorite rides get a little spookier — and maybe even run into a witch or three.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Dates

The 2026 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party dates will run from August 7 to October 31. The party runs only on specific weekend or weekday nights, so be sure to consult the calendar of dates when planning a trip.

2026 Party Dates

August 7, 11, 14, 18, 21, 23, 25, 28, 30
September 1, 4, 8, 11, 13, 15, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25, 27, 29
October 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 13, 15, 16, 18, 22, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31

Planning Tip: To help conjure your fiendish pursuits, note that in August, party dates occur on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. This is also true for September with the addition of one Thursday date on September 24. In October, ghouls can descend upon Magic Kingdom every Thursday; most Fridays, Sundays, most Tuesdays; and Saturday on Halloween.

New and Returning Entertainment in 2026

Now that you’ve got the dates, here are a few sneak peeks at new and returning entertainment all around Magic Kingdom.

New this year, Stitch is hosting an ever-changing dance party at the Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland with the help of his friends Lilo and Angel. After getting his paws on Lilo’s Costume Trunk, every accessory he tries on will spark a theme swap and keep the party playfully unpredictable all night long.

And, of course, a little spider told us that the Cadaver Dans will be back again this year to sing in soulful harmony.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Tickets

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party ticket prices vary per date and will be available for purchase starting on May 5 for guests staying at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green. Tickets will be available starting on May 12 for all other guests. Party dates often sell out, so our best tip is to plan early and purchase tickets in advance for your desired party date.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Party Ticket discounts are once again available for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members.

Planning Tip: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary guests can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM before the party kicks off at 7:00 PM. This means guests have up to 8 hours to celebrate all across the park.

Trick or Treating at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary

For some guests, Halloween dreams include a bag overflowing with candy. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of the best trick-or-treat destinations, with over a dozen opportunities to collect candy throughout the park, marked on guests' party map. And this year, guests can expect even more fun than ever before with some familiar (and fiendish) faces surprising guests along the trails.

At each stop, cast members give out handfuls of Mars Wrigley favorites like M&Ms, Snickers and Starburst. And no worries if guests' forgot their pumpkin bucket at home: Each guest will receive complimentary treat bags for candy collection (that includes adults).

Trick-or-treaters do not have to be in costume to collect candy. Guests are encouraged to dress up in creative Halloween costumes. Guests should be sure to follow official costume guidelines.

Exclusive Character Greetings

Guests can meet Sally and Jack Skellington at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party at one of the many character stops that feature exclusive meet-and-greet opportunities. At Town Square Theater, Mickey and Minnie will greet guests together in their Halloween costumes. Pooh will be in his bumblebee costume, and you may spot festive royal couples ready to say hello, like Ariel and Eric and Aladdin and Jasmine.

Stay tuned for our complete guide on which characters guests can meet — and who will be in special festive attire.

For even more creepy character fun, guests should keep their eyes peeled because they may see new and returning Disney Villains appear as you creep by through the streets.

Mickey's Boo-to-You Halloween Parade

In this whimsical production, Mickey, Minnie and their friends have donned cute costumes to lead a parade of waltzing ghosts, Disney Princesses and treacherous villains. Guests can expect to see characters like Vanellope from Wreck-It Ralph.

In 2026, the Mickey’s Boo-to-You Parade will again take place at 8:15 PM to allow plenty of time for little ones to enjoy the celebration.

Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular

It’s been three hundred years, right down to the day … or it seems that long since we’ve seen the Sanderson Sisters take the stage. This fan-favorite show is both hilarious and bone-chilling as Winifred, Sarah, and Mary try their haphazard best to cast a spell.

It turns out that they need a little help from their friends, who happen to be some of the most nefarious Disney Villains, including the likes of Hades, Cruella De Vil, Jafar, Dr. Facilier, and The Evil Queen. Guests will help add ingredients to the cauldron with lots of clapping and singing along.

Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular

As the party creeps closer to the witching hour, guests are invited to a spooky story time with the Pumpkin King himself, Jack Skellington, who has transformed Cinderella Castle into a haunted house. Watch as Zero leads Mickey and Friends inside, where spiderwebs, skeletons, and Grim Grinning Ghosts await.

Dazzling projections will transform the castle into a spooky fantasy while the sky comes alive with fireworks. Get ready for towering encounters with Ursula, The Queen of Hearts, and Oogie Boogie. Will Mickey and Friends make it out of Jack’s haunted house this time?

New MNSSHP Merch, Food, and More

Check back to peruse the 2026 MNSSHP Foodie Guide — we've got savory foods, sweet treats, and screamingly good snacks.

Exclusive party merch will also be available for purchase at Magic Kingdom to commemorate guests' not-so-scary night of macabre memories.

Once again, a few favorite rides are getting a grim overlay. Expect spellbinding transformations with special lighting and music. Check back to see which attractions are getting the Halloween treatment.

Stay tuned for even more details and shriek peeks of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party entertainment, merchandise, and photo opportunities as they materialize.

Letters from Lakeshore: Updates on Disney World’s Newest Resort

Greetings from the south shores of Bay Lake at Walt Disney World Resort, the future home of Disney Lakeshore Lodge!

We invite you to embark on this journey with us, following Letters from Lakeshore as the proposed nature-inspired resort comes to life. Like a collection of postcards, each update will share new details – from first looks to finishing touches, with exclusive behind-the-scenes moments along the way.

April 21, 2026: Celebrate the Beauty and Magic of Nature at Disney Lakeshore Lodge

Introducing Disney Lakeshore Lodge, a waterfront retreat where guests and their loved ones will discover the wonder of nature through the artistry of Disney storytelling.

Projected to open at Walt Disney World Resort in summer 2027, Disney Lakeshore Lodge will celebrate the beauty and magic of nature as seen through the eyes of Disney artists and storytellers. Inspired by Walt Disney’s lifelong admiration for the great outdoors, the resort’s design will pay tribute to decades of animated stories rooted in nature, with subtle nods to classic films — from the lush forests of Bambi and the colorful winds of Pocahontas to the sweeping glacial landscapes of Brother Bear.

Nestled along the tranquil shores of Bay Lake, Disney Lakeshore Lodge will invite families to slow down, take in their surroundings, and create cherished memories together. Spectacular floor‑to‑ceiling windows will welcome natural sunlight and showcase views of the local flora and fauna, allowing the outdoors to flow seamlessly into the architecture, artwork, and ambiance.

With 967 thoughtfully designed rooms, this new addition to the Disney Resorts Collection will offer a variety of ways to stay, from cozy studios to spacious suites. Many rooms will offer peaceful views of Bay Lake by day and spectacular views of Magic Kingdom park fireworks by night. The resort will also debut with new one- and two-bedroom Lake Houses along the waterfront, offering families an even closer connection to nature with ample space to relax and unwind.

In the months ahead, we’ll share more about the dining locations, recreational offerings, amenities, and distinctive design details that will bring the spirit of nature and the magic of Disney storytelling to life at Disney Lakeshore Lodge.

New Magic Arrives at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disney World

Howdy, pardners… folks oughta keep all hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the train, ‘cause this here’s the wildest ride in the wilderness!

As of today, the iconic Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has reopened with new magic. Here’s what guests can expect the next time they take to the tracks in search of adventure.

There’s Gold in That There Mountain

The story of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad dates back to Olden Times, or rather, Golden Times, during the early days of America’s first major gold rush. When Barnabas T. Bullion struck gold in the Big Thunder region, he saw a future full of riches and hustled to start the Big Thunder Mountain Company.

However, them shiny dreams rarely come without a cost, and Bullion quickly found himself in a battle with the forces of nature and in a whole heap of trouble. One day, strange and unexplainable things started happening. Machines failed. Cave-ins shut mines down.

No matter how deep the miners dug into the heart of the mountain, the forces of Big Thunder fought back.

Shine and Polish on a Magic Kingdom Classic

The mountain attractions at Disney Parks around the globe are iconic for a reason – they are beloved by fans old and new for the stories they tell, the thrills they give, and the memories they make.

Guests will notice that the rumblin’, rollin’ fun of Big Thunder Mountain is in tip-top shape following a mountain-top to cavern-deep refurbishment, which kept this classic attraction in tip-top shape, ready to delight guests who want to ride the rails for years to come.

Wildest Ride in the Wilderness

A key part of the refurbishment was installing a new track and refreshed passenger trains. These updates were carefully planned to preserve the attraction’s classic storytelling and trademark hootin’ an’ hollerin’ energy, while adding new life, movement, and detail to the experience guests know so well.

With all the improvements made to the attraction, along with a comprehensive review from our safety teams, Big Thunder Mountain will reopen with a lowered height requirement of 38”. Climb aboard, lil prospectors!

New Magic Thunderin’ In

In addition to the action and adventure we know and love, Big Thunder Mountain has new magic for fans to discover.

One such moment comes when the trains rattle their way underground to spectacular natural caverns full of phosphorescent pools, shimmering and illuminating iridescent stalagmites (the ones on the floor) and stalactites (the ones on the ceiling).

The Rainbow Caverns certainly are beautiful… but they ain’t as friendly as they first appear. In fact, that menacing rumble from deep within the mountain may be a sign that we ain’t welcome.

Star Wars at Disneyland, Disney World, and More

A source of passionate fandom through beloved characters, unforgettable adventures, and a shared love for a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars has grown beyond the silver screen into a universe that fans can visit, explore, and bring home.

Now, with Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu preparing to hit theaters on May 22, 2026, and with new updates coming to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort on the same day, the enduring legacy and rich lore of Star Wars continues to unfold across Disney Experiences in new and exciting ways.

Preparing to step onto Batuu or cruise the high seas? This is the way to discover all the Star Wars experiences across Disney Parks and beyond.

New Mission on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Disneyland and Disney World

It’s almost time to hop on board the famed Millennium Falcon and embark on a brand-new mission to track down bounties for the New Republic alongside the Mandalorian and his adorable foundling, Grogu.

Before guests strap in, take a look at a first reveal of a portion of your interactive, new mission briefing, transmitted straight from the cockpit of the Razor Crest.

In exchange for any cargo collected on the mission, Hondo has provided the coordinates of three wanted bounties: two Imperial officers and a pirate. Guests will fly the Millennium Falcon to Hondo’s coordinates on Tatooine to meet the Mandalorian and Grogu, track down the bounties, and collect any cargo they find along the way.

Alongside the Razor Crest, flight crews will chase those bounties down across the galaxy, charting a course to the gas mining metropolis of Cloud City on Bespin, the crowded city-planet of Coruscant, or the wreckage of the second Death Star in orbit above Endor.

The new mission begins on May 22, so get ready to step into the iconic cockpit, taking in its worn floors, glowing controls, and familiar sights that fans have come to know and love.

Star Wars Experiences at Disneyland Resort

Since Star Tours first debuted at Disneyland park in 1987, Disneyland has been a place where Star Wars storytelling has continued to thrive.

Ready to hit the hyperdrive? Guests should prepare to escape from the clutches of the First Order, sit in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon, and be on the lookout for some of the most well-known Star Wars characters in the galaxy on their next trip to the parks.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park

Visit the planet of Batuu in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, where guests become part of the story from the moment they enter Black Spire Outpost. Join the Resistance, interact with characters, and chart a path through iconic attractions and daring dining locations.

Star Wars Experiences at Walt Disney World Resort

Walt Disney World is home to a wide range of Star Wars experiences, anchored by the rides, dining, shopping, and interactive offerings found across Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

From immersive, story-driven adventures to familiar formats that continue to evolve with new faces and the latest destinations, these experiences give fans multiple ways to experience their love of the iconic franchise across central Florida.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and More at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the place to be for blockbuster attractions and roaming characters looking to lure guests into the adventures of Black Spire Outpost. Whether travelers are escaping the First Order, sipping on delightful drinks, or crossing paths with familiar heroes and villains, the park offers countless ways for fans to step into the story and create their own moments that will last a lifetime.
