D23 HORIZONS DID NOT DISAPPOINT!

Last night’s Horizons: A Disney Experiences Showcase was PACKED with announcements, and there is a LOT coming to Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line!

Here are some of the biggest takeaways for Disney fans:

WALT DISNEY WORLD

VILLAINS LAND — We finally got major details on Magic Kingdom’s highly anticipated Villains Land! The land will feature TWO major attractions: a thrilling Maleficent coaster through her briar-filled fortress and a Magic Mirror dark ride that takes guests into a fantastical realm filled with Disney Villains. Plus, dining and shopping!

PISTON PEAK — The new Cars-themed area coming to Magic Kingdom is taking shape! Piston Peak will feature TWO attractions, including an off-road racing adventure and a family-friendly ride, all set in a Rocky Mountain-inspired landscape.

MONSTROPOLIS — We got more looks at the Monsters, Inc. land coming to Hollywood Studios, including new details on the immersive area, attractions, dining and shopping.

TROPICAL AMERICAS — Animal Kingdom’s transformation continues with the new Indiana Jones attraction, “Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent,” plus the previously announced Encanto attraction and new carousel.

THE YETI IS BACK! — One of the biggest cheers of the night went to the announcement that the legendary Yeti will FINALLY return to life inside Expedition Everest!

FIGMENT & DREAMFINDER ARE BACK! — Journey Into Imagination at EPCOT is getting a complete reimagining, and YES… Dreamfinder and Figment will be part of it.

SPACESHIP EARTH — EPCOT’s iconic attraction will also receive a reimagining, expanding its story of human communication into a broader celebration of human connection.

DISNEYLAND RESORT

TOMORROWLAND IS GETTING A MAKEOVER — Disneyland’s Tomorrowland will be reimagined with new attractions, open spaces and a renewed focus on innovation, optimism and the future.

COCO IS COMING! — Disneyland’s new Coco attraction will take guests on a musical journey with Miguel through the Land of the Dead. And there’s NO height requirement!

Plus, beloved nighttime entertainment like Remember… Dreams Come True and World of Color will return in refreshed forms in 2027.

DISNEY CRUISE LINE

DISNEY BELIEVE — The newest Wish-class ship will set sail in late 2027! We got our first look at her Grand Hall, inspired by Moana, plus stunning exterior details featuring Woody & Buzz and Tinker Bell.

A BRAND-NEW CLASS OF SHIPS — Disney Cruise Line also gave us our FIRST look at an entirely new class of ships arriving beginning in 2029. Three ships are planned, and they’ll be bigger than the Disney Wonder but smaller than the Disney Wish — a size Disney says will open up new possibilities for destinations and itineraries around the world.

And this is just scratching the surface.

Disney is clearly entering a HUGE new era of expansion, and as a travel advisor, I am already thinking about which of these new experiences I can’t wait to help my clients experience first!

I don’t know how in all my years of living and breathing Disney I didn’t know this was a thing - Lego has a site you can vote on potential new sets! If you’ve ever been to my house, you know I proudly display my Lego Cinderella Castle. I NEED more of these sets in my life!!

If you go to this website and search for Disney, you can see all the potential future sets! BUT you HAVE to vote for your favorites to make them a reality.

I personally NEED the Disney Cruise Ship and Tower of Terror. But they need more votes to become reality!!!!! So please go and vote for your favorites!

Support the ideas you want to see become LEGO® sets, or get creative and submit your own design!

This was a family favorite on our Disney Magic Alaskan Cruise - salmon fishing in Ketchikan! We caught a total of 6 salmon and had them all flash frozen and shipped home for fresh salmon to eat. We booked our excursions through Disney, and ended up on a boat with just our family with Captain Luke who brought his adorable 12 week puppy, Blueberry. Luke was an expert and made sure we caught as much as possible. We reeled in 6, but had another 5 or so that somehow got away. Everyone had a blast and we agreed we would book with Luke directly again next time we visit!

Goodbye Puerto Rico! Today was the first time the Disney Destiny has made a stop here. Can you tell the song the ship horn plays? I’ll give you a hint - theres a bar on the ship named for the same character!

Disney Cruise Line has been adding this special event on more and more cruises and I’m so glad we got to experience it! Broadway Stars Series features two stars who have performed on Broadway to come and perform on the ship.

One of the Stars on our sailing is none other than the Broadway “Aladdin!” Both of the singers are phenomenal. I love musical theater, but have yet to make it to Broadway. The talent of these two is a whole different level from what I’ve seen. Absolutely amazing!

We watched both the “family” show which was these two singing all Disney songs. The “adult” version was songs from other non-Disney Broadway shows. Both were amazing, but I loved the “adult” version because the location was smaller and more intimate. I could have listened to these two sing for hours.
