    I know while you clicked on this video you want to know what’s really going on with Disney’s newest attractions and announcements right well you are in luck because today we’re going to take a closer look at all of Disney’s most recent announcements to uncover the truth about what you should really be

    Expecting for the future of our Parks hey everybody it’s AJ for Disney food blog and we’ve got a lot to tell you about today so I’m going to make things quick Disney’s dropped a ton of clues about everything that could possibly happen for their newest attractions but in order to uncover

    Those Clues we’ve got to dive deep I’m talking analyzing the concept art listening in on imagineering interviews and maybe even taking a step back into the past to figure out what on Earth is going on over at Disney World and Disneyland now little disclaimer here

    Before we get started I need to warn you that not everything that we discussed today is for sure going to happen for these rides and lands and shows and experiences a lot of this boils down to Disney’s Blue Sky process meaning they’re not even sure if this stuff is

    Going to happen so this is us taking the opportunity to figure out what Disney could mean by the things they’ve revealed about these attractions so far a lot could change before a certain attraction is finally ready to make its big debut that happens all the time so

    Be sure to sign up for our free dfb newsletter so you can stay in the know about any and all official updates that we come across regarding the things we’re talking about today I’m going to link our newsletter sign up page down in the description it’s always down there

    If you ever want to sign up for the newsletter okay we’re going to start with test track now I bet a lot of you didn’t even know that test track was actually going to get a revamp right in order to really appreciate what’s about to take place here we got to take a

    Quick look at this attractions timeline world of motion was an opening day attraction before all of the changes and much like spaceship earth and its Adventure through the evolution of communication world of motion took us on an omni mover Rider through the evolution of Transportation but when

    General Motors the sponsor of the world of motion attraction renewed their contract with Disney they requested a new ride that was more about the high speeds and thrills and thus testra was born in 1999 the 99 version of test track is actually fairly different from how we know it today because way back

    Then guests were transformed into test dummies as they rode new car models around the different tracks to see how well these new speedsters would hold up when pushed to the absolute limit now in 2012 test Trak dropped the whole dummy act and took things into the future when

    We ride test track today we get to build our own cars during the pre-show and race them against each other while we’re riding in a more tron-like Hightech setting so the ride is pretty popular with guests and on most days you’re going to see it pushing a 60 plus minute

    Wait pretty much all day long however during the destination d23 convention this year we learned that test track is about to undergo its third Extreme Makeover car Edition so here’s what we we know for sure as of now and why I had to pregame this point with test track’s

    Timeline so according to Disney test tr’s reimagining will be reaching back into history for inspiration from the original World of motion and bringing that Spirit of optimism to the next iteration of test track so dude in a day and age when so many of the new and reimagined stuff were getting in the

    Parks’s IP based this is a pretty shocking Revelation but what does reaching back into history actually mean for this ride back when world of motion was still in motion guests would ride past scenes of man as he created new means of transportation from the bicycle to the airplane currently test track focuses

    Heavily on current technology with a nod to Future possibilities while we don’t know the details about how Disney plans on taking inspiration from the old world of motion it does sound like they might be incorporating more of a full timeline of the evolution of Transportation once

    More to fles out more of a storyline for this ride now we didn’t get a whole lot of concept art for this reimagining but the concept art we did get gives us more of an idea of what these ride Vehicles may look like once redesigned right now

    It doesn’t look a whole lot different from the vehicles we ride in just with a new jet black paint job replacing the techno blue but the overall design does look like it’s already pulling from the former omn mover models especially with that rounded out front portion of the

    Car but let’s take a look at one more area of this concept art that you might not have honed in on before but that’s I don’t know the most interesting in part to me look at The Greenery in the background the tree are we in a forest

    It seems that at least one scene is going to take us into a very tree heavy portion of the ride which who knows might take us into a scene or scenes similar to what we saw during the world of motion days maybe currently test track does pass by a few scenes to

    Emulate different driving conditions like how a vehicle would Faire in various climates or intense situations where a literal glowing semi- is headed straight for you so this green scy may just be an over speculation on our end but then again there may be an important reason why Disney chose that Lush

    Background for their first ever concept art for this reimagined ride nothing is by mistake in Disney concept art my friends now this updated test track could feature scenes that are more akin to the ones we would have seen on World of motion with more animatronic illustrations of History guiding us into

    The future instead of a simulation strictly set in the World of Tomorrow currently we don’t have a clear-cut timeline for when this ride is going to have its major overhaul so expect it to still be the same high-speed car Sim experience that we’ve had for the past

    11 years if you plan on visiting Epcot in the near future but eventually this ride’s going to go down for an overhaul and we’ll be able to gauge from the length of that overhaul how different this ride’s going to be all right we’re heading over to Magic Kingdom and while

    MK food isn’t exactly my favorite Disney food right now I will say that some of my favorite Park eats and sweets are located inside Adventure Land land like Skipper canteen for instance and sunshine tree terrace Aloha aisle is over there and even that little spring roll cart right outside the entrance so

    The fact that we’re going to be getting a new Pirates themed Tavern in Adventureland sometime in the future gives me really high hopes now Disney didn’t release a whole lot of detail pertaining to the upcoming Lounge during destination d23 but what they did reveal was some concept art for the new space

    So you know us we had to start digging for Easter eggs within that concept art and I think we’ve gathered some pretty decent clues for what could eventually be added to this new space Oh this video is so much fun to record because I love talking about this stuff so the most

    Obvious thing we noticed is that Barker bird who takes up like almost half of the picture this guy used to greet guests as they entered the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction and he was also featured at the end of the attraction for a little bit like a nostalgic icon

    So it does make sense for him to make his Grand return inside the new Lounge right maybe he’ll be an animatronic I like Rosita over at Tropical Hideway in Disneyland only time will tell the next thing we noticed about the concept art was some fiery red hair among a sea of

    Sepia you know who else has fiery red hair our swashbuckling red who was added to the Disney World ride back in 2018 nearby you can also spot another iconic Ride character the sleeping man with the pigs now that’s not to say these characters are for sure going to make an

    Appearance in this Lounge but I think they will still play an important part in the unraveling story around this Village Tavern since Disney’s already announced that this bace will for sure expand on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride lore that we know and love already and check this out it seems the

    Characters in The Tavern are using barrels as chairs with a bar-like area off to the side surrounded by kegs could this be a big hint at the style of tables chairs and overall layout we’ll see in the space very possibly now the next big question is where is this

    Lounge going to be located yeah I know Adventure Land but where in Adventure Land we’ve got our speculations but no concrete evidence just yet so we just have to sit tight with our two big guesses for now guess number one we could see Tortuga Tavern reimagine since this quick service is directly across

    From Pirates and has limited hours as is so we wouldn’t be missing it too terribly much they’ve got a pretty big space they’ve got access to a kitchen so everything would kind of already be in place for that and guess number two since Barker bird once greeted guests at

    The entrance of Pirates of the Caribbean and since in the concept art he seems to be greeting guests into the area again that could mean the tavern might be placed in the former Pirates League area where kids used to be able to get pirate makeovers similar to the princess

    Makeovers from bibid Bobby Boutique from what we know Pirates league is currently being used a sort of break or lounge area for Adventureland cast members it’s also right next to the Pirates ride so you know Prime real estate for a pirates themed Lounge Tortuga Tavern seems a bit

    Large for a lounge space but Pirates League seems more intimate and exclusive if maybe a few walls were knocked down inside now I don’t know all speculation but what I do know is that if they don’t wind up serving any rum here Captain Jack Sparrow will Riot and therein lies

    The big question right now with this being a pirates Tavern and what have you will it be a place that’s going to serve alcohol or not really it all depends on what type of Tavern Disney’s going for here if it becomes more of a full table service then yeah alcohol should get the

    Green light pretty easily because because they do serve alcohol and all the other Magic Kingdom sitdown restaurants but if they’re planning on making this into another quick service location Magic Kingdom’s fast food joints don’t serve guests any alcohol so things could end up drier than we’d

    Expect them to be coming from a pirates hangout unless Pirates Tavern ends up being the first Magic Kingdom Quick Service to serve alcohol it’s all up in the air all right I’ve got some big feelings about this next one so hang on folks we got some major sleo thing to do

    Back in 2022 during during the d23 convention over in Anaheim we learned for the first time ever that Disney has been putting some serious thought into a brand new expansion for Magic Kingdom including a whole new land during that panel a few Disney leaders discussed some potential ideas that could expand

    The park Beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Disney called these what if ideas to really Hammer home the point that this is all hypothetical the team mentioned a few different concepts like Coco and Encanto or a Disney villain theme area yes amazing now fast forward to destination d23 this year one year

    Later once again Disney brought back the idea of expanding Magic Kingdom with what could potentially be their largest ever expansion for the park it was also said that whatever this land ends up being will be told on a scale similar to things like Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge and

    Pandora including the addition of new attractions and restaurants shows and more and yet we’re still being left hanging on this giant Cliffhanger what is Disney really planning to add to the Magic Kingdom out of the concepts thrown out during both of these d23 events which ones might actually become a

    Reality for the park what makes sense okay I just got to throw this out there it very well could be that none of the potential ideas we were given end up coming to fruition after all we can already eliminate one possibility kind of since Encanto is looking like it’s

    Getting ready to expand an animal kingdom instead which we really didn’t expect to happen but we’ll talk more about that later on so that brings us back to two possibilities Coco and Disney villains and while neither is set in stone here are some key reasons why I

    Feel like it’s a good probability that we will see one or the other announced during the d23 convention in 2024 first let’s talk Coco Disney Park’s experiences and products chairman Josh dearo stated that Disney has a wealth of untapped stories to bring to life but he specifically called out Pixar’s Coco as

    A world just waiting to be explored with lots of story relling opportunity so far we’ve only seen Coco sprinkled into the Disney scene here and there fill our magic added a scene to their show in 2021 highlighting the musical numoon pocco Loco epcot’s Mexico Pavilion has

    Winks and nods to Miguel and his crew featured in La craion Delia de muerto featured in the celebration exhibit toward the front of the Epcot Mexico pyramid Disney California Adventure makes Coco the main attraction during Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month through a musical celebr a over at

    Paradise Gardens area as well and just recently we learned that a new rotational dining experience themed around Coco could be added to Disney’s newest ship the Disney treasure when it takes to the Seas later in 2024 so really a whole realm strictly dedicated to Coco could be a possibility I mean

    Think of how that area could really transform each night once the sun goes down and the stage shows that could happen here would be very cool and very acoustic heavy but what about a realm just based around Disney’s best antagonists should we just say goodbye to the potential of a Disney villains

    Area N I don’t think so not yet anyways here’s my big speculation with literally no legs to stand on other than the knowledge of how Disney’s handled projects in the past the Disney villains area would be the perfect response to the potential Universal monsters area that we may see over in Universal studi

    New park epic Universe if rumors are true and there’s a whole lot of people out there who really really think this is more than just a big possibility then epic universe may Cur L be building a new area in their park centered around those classic movie Monsters We love to

    Hate like Dracula Frankenstein and plenty of other spooky folks who are mostly just misunderstood now I’m not saying that Disney’s hovering nearby taking notes and muttering to themselves but I mean that is how they got the idea for MGM now Hollywood Studios back in the day by drawing direct inspiration

    From Universal Studios movie Centric Park so in order to compete with epic Universe which is currently slated to open in 2025 having a Disney villains area could be the perfect foil to Universal’s monsters but then again it’s like I said before both of these Concepts could be scrapped for something

    Completely different when it’s all said and done there’s no way of knowing for sure one way or another until we hear it straight from the mouse’s mouth out of all the new stuff we’re talking about today Tiana’s bio Adventure is probably the one we know the most about so far so

    What do we know about this reimagined log flume first it’ll be based around Disney’s animated film Princess and the Frog second the setting will take place during Carnival season when Tiana is hosting a Marty Gro party for the people of New Orleans third many of the characters we know and love from the

    Film as well as 17 brand new characters will be featured during the ride with many of those classic characters voiced by the same actors from the movie fourth we’re getting some new animatronics inside the ride we even got to see a sneak peek of the louw animatronic Disney’s been working on and we’re

    Excited to finally see him in action playing his little trumpet five it’s slated to open in 2024 and six the ride will be opening in both Disney World and Disneyland but we’re not here to talk strictly about the certainties we want to talk about the possibilities too and

    I’ve got three possibilities for you to Maul over the first one we might just see Ben’s pop up in Magic Kingdom I know I’m excited Disneyland recently opened two new Princess and the Frog inspired locations in New Orleans square a gift shop and a quick service location now

    The gift shop called eudora’s Chic Boutique opened in 2022 and sells line of merchandise featuring Tiana’s own spices and sauces well it will eventually they say meanwhile the Tiana’s Palace Quick Service which opened this year serves up comforting Southern dishes inspired by cjun and creole Cuisine there’s a house gumbo a

    Pooy and a Muffet a sandwich and Gulf Shrimp and Grits and yep you can also pick up an order of hot and sugary beet too over at the mint jwet bar window and there’s an exclusive lemon filed beet at Tiana’s Palace which by the way used to

    Be French Mar Market if you didn’t already know that but you did cuz you watch our videos now since both Disneyland and Disney World will be getting this new Tiana’s biou Adventure next year it’s not totally far-fetched to assume that maybe Magic Kingdom’s going to get a princess in the Frog

    Themed restaurant too somewhere down the line I personally have talked to a lot of imagineers and gotten some wink wink nudge nudge when I’ve asked them about this so I’m hoping that it’s sort of on the horizon now the only place you can now pick up beet is on Disney World

    Property is over at Disney’s por Orlean’s French Quarter Resort at scat cat’s club and Cafe so having Tiana’s specialty dessert featured in a more easily accessible location for guests might be something Disney World’s just waiting to announce when the ride gets closer to opening up also Disney has

    Mentioned that they’re going to be pumping a sweet beignet smellitizers throughout the queue so it’ sure be mean of them if they teased us with the idea of fried sugar goodness but didn’t follow through on it now the second possibility for this ride Dr facila could make a reappearance while Disney

    Did list off the specific cast of characters that you can expect to see during the ride they conveniently left out any mentions of the voodoo man himself now who knows maybe that’s just because Dr facila is now stuck inside the spirit realm for all alterity and we

    Don’t really have to worry about him anymore and yet some of the features Disney’s mentioned for this reimagined ride make us question whether that’s really going to be the case or not after all for a ride to be interesting and compelling you got to have a story and

    To have a story you’ve got to have a villain now back in 2022 during the d23 convention Disney announced that a new Mist element is going to be part of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure which sounds like we might be in for a few spookier scenes the video they showed had a lot

    Of colorful lights shining into the mist and especially a lot of shades of green now I don’t know about you but when I think about Eerie green Mist there’s one particular Princess and the Frog character who comes to mind and it isn’t Lotti could there be an appearance by Dr

    Facilier and the shadowman during this story I wouldn’t be mad if Disney decided to drop them in to stir up the drama especially if it means getting to hear the friends on the other side song reprised and finally if you’re wanting to guarantee a ride on Tiana’s bio

    Adventure I’d be planning a 2025 trip instead if I were you well Tiana’s bio Adventure is currently slated to open in late 2024 in both parks a lot can happen between now and then it could potentially push that timeline back well it could still be right on track to open

    In time I always play it really cautiously with those looser timelines because a loose timeline gives Disney a lot of wiggle room to work with if they need to we’ve seen timelines push back recently for things like the cake bake shop over in Disney’s Boardwalk in which

    Was originally supposed to open by the end of this year but is now slated to open in Spring of next year and before that Roundup Rodeo barbecue from Hollywood Studios had to bump back their opening date many times over until the restaurant finally started welcoming guests by March of this year does anyone

    Else feel like that was forever ago now Disney also has been known to to open things earlier than expected to like we saw happen with journey of water inspired by Moana and Shiki saai Sushi is zakaya both over in Epcot but if you don’t want to gamble with your Disney

    Trip and you want to make absolutely sure you’re able to ride this new log flum experience during your next visit I’d hold off on a picking any specific dates for your trip until Disney announces a more clearcut timeline for Tiana next up we’re going to talk about

    Some bears a lot of controversy bubbled to the surface when Disney announced they’d be reimagining the classic country bears jambur show inside Magic Kingdom for 2024 even an actual bear came into the park to protest it just kidding it was totally unrelated but still quirky coincidence right and I

    Think that just based on the not so subtle hints Disney’s been giving us about the future of this one we can see why there might be reason for concern for those longtime Disney World fans out there one main thing The Country Bears jamere is an opening day Magic Kingdom

    Attraction and it’s also one of the last attractions Walt Disney himself had a direct hand in creating ating so it’s got a whole lot of nostalgia wrapped up into it the fact that there’s a good chance for some of those classic and slightly questionable songs to be taken

    Out of the new show set and replaced with more IP heavy songs like Bare Necessities for instance is making longtime fans feel like Disney’s trying to make glamour edits to a vintage Polaroid photo that’s capturing simpler times and while the new show poster still includes some of our favorite

    Characters like Big Al and Trixie other Bears seem to be conveniently missing from the lineup so it’ll be interesting to see who gets to return for this new performance and which bears are going to be filing for retirement next year now Disney does want to assure guests that

    This revamped show is still going to have that fun and friendly tone The Country Bears are so well known for it’s just going to be a more modern-day version of it imagineers are envisioning the reimagined experience as an homage to the classic musical reviews in Nashville and to make things as

    Authentic as possible they’re working directly with Nashville musicians to get that classic country sound that way those famili familar Disney Tunes we already know by heart will be presented in fresh Styles like country rockabilly and Bluegrass to make him feel brand new again and also keep true to the Country

    Bear Spirit while we don’t know exactly when this new show is going to be ready to welcome Magic Kingdom guests through the doors here’s what I can tell you between the Tiana’s biou adventure reimagining and all these country bears updates expect to find a very construction heavy Frontier land for at

    Least the first half of 2024 we’ve been hearing about the communicore hall and Plaza forever now but is still difficult to wrap our minds around the overall scale of this new Epcot area let alone what we can expect to find in it when it finally does open

    Up by the end of this year but since it’s getting closer and closer to opening we’re starting to learn more and more about it just by watching the construction progress first let’s start with the basics communicore Plaza is a new area that’ll bring epcot’s many festivals to the center of Disney World

    Essentially it’ll serve as the home base for those Epcot festivals and Live Events if you’ve been following the Epcot transformation closely you may remember Disney previously announcing and sharing concept art and models for a whole festival Pavilion and not just a festival kind of stage that Pavilion was

    Originally going to be the hub for epcot’s festivals and Live Events and based on the concept art it was going to be a three-story structure with a plaza level a middle Expo level and a park in the sky on the top level which looked really cool now while Disney hasn’t

    Explicitly confirmed this in so many words it seems communicore Hall is essentially been updated and adjusted and it’s no longer that three-story structure that being said this new communicore area is still going to have some exciting stuff going on we think communicore Plaza is actually the whole

    Area of this new Festival Hub and within the plaza you’ll find communicore Hall which is being designed to host a wide variety of experiences with food and art and live music and a demonstration kitchen and A Mixology Bar now when I hear about things like demonstration kitchens and Mixology bars I

    Automatically think back to the days of epcot’s Food and Wine Festival and how it used to be before 2020 back in the good old days food and wine used to offer special programming like culinary demos and beverage seminars food and beverage pairings so could communicore Hall finally bring this programming back

    To the Food and Wine Festival for 2024 returning it to its former glory well we hope so now according to Disney communicore Hall will also be the home of a dynamic exhibition space that will transform with each Festival throughout the year sounds pretty cool now in some

    Of the concept art that was highlighting this exhibition space it looks as if the gallery space specifically for Festival of the Arts could feature all kinds of unique paintings a colorful figment statue an inside out display perhaps with some interactive elements and plenty of other spots for folks to take

    Selfies like near that Steamboat Willie statue that features an explosion of color the areas in the plaza Beyond communicore Hall will provide an outdoor space for festival adventurers where guests can come and relax and kind of soak it all in one of the main spaces

    Appears to be attached to the end of one side of communicore Hall there you’re going to find an area that will host large scale concerts or more intimate performances currently Festival Concert Series take place over in the America Gardens theater in the American Adventure Pavilion which brings up a

    Real important question I’ve had for a long time now what’s going to happen to the American Gardens theater in 2024 will it continue to host different outdoor shows will it be completely reimagined or will Disney end up getting rid of it all together guess we’ll have

    To wait and see and finally I want to talk about one last area inside the communicore plaza before we move on to our next point in this video and that’s the world celebration Gardens so World celebration will soon be divided into several different Gardens they’re going

    To offer lots of shade and seating for guests and each one will have its own identity with the ability to change and go along with the festivals throughout the year Disney’s shared that at night the gardens will take on a whole new life where lighting will immerse guests in an Illuminating evening experience

    And based on the images that Disney has shared it looks like those beloved twinkling floor tiles that were once featured in the old future world area will be returning in a whole new way communicore Hall in Plaza is currently slated to open this December so we are

    Going to know the answers to all of our questions really really soon keep checking back here with us for future updates cuz I expect we’ll have a more concrete release date real real soon so now it’s time to head over to Animal Kingdom it seems Disney has heard our

    Cries of Terror and is swooping in to save the day but that’s in a way we did not see coming like at all last year during the 2022 d23 event Disney spoke about the possibility of bringing zootopia to Disney’s Animal Kingdom and it sounded very much like zootopia could

    Have morphed into its own land here which would have made a lot of sense after all this is Animal Kingdom we’re talking about so a realm run by predators and prey working together felt pretty seamless in a park that’s also focused on predator and prey and all

    Things Wildlife it made even more sense when you consider that Shanghai Disneyland is getting ready to to open up their full zootopia area meaning Disney has the technology and blueprints for a zootopia area already at their disposal however Animal Kingdom decided they were going to take things in a

    Whole different Direction with their land expansions which I’m going to talk about during the next point so instead of a zootopia land it seems Animal Kingdom might be getting a zootopia attraction instead right inside the Tree of Life which means it’s tough to be a bug’s days are potentially numbered

    Disney’s current concept for the new zootopia experience will take you through the different biomes that you only catch glimpses of during the movie all while traveling alongside Judy Hops and Nick wild and all your other zootopia favorite characters based off the concept art expect another 4D show

    To be happening here since the zootopia cast seems to be jumping out of the screen and toward the audience at full speed the concept art also seems to indicate a possible claw Houser animatronic off to the right hand side where Hopper resides now just to torture

    Us again just based off the Shang High Disneyland Tech we’ve seen teased for their new zootopia area we know Disney’s capable of making a really cool and really realistic claw Houser so it’ll be awesome if they can do the same for us over in Orlando now question who’s going

    To replace flick who pops out to greet all those honorary bugs from the top of the theater during each show the concept art is unclear about that but judging by the way one of those business formal hamsters is popping out of the screen toward the bottom of the concept art

    Definitely gives me the same flick popping out of the dirt vibes even if it’s in the wrong location I don’t know the moral here is that anything could happen between now and the show’s completion whenever that might be but that’s only the beginning of what’s in store for animal Kingdom’s future and I

    Know you’ve been waiting for this part of the video so let me rip off that Band-Aid real quick Dino Land USA is headed out this isn’t a hunch this isn’t speculation this isn’t me spitballing Animal Kingdom is ready to move things in a New Direction over there in dinol

    Land and while that direction may still be a ways off giving us more opportunity to enjoy Dino Land while we can Disney has given us a little taste of what the future might hold now I know I already made a disclaimer at the beginning of this video but I’ve got to make another

    One here real quick and this is a disclaimer with a disclaimer so it’s disclaimer setion while we do know that dinal Land USA is going to get an overhaul Disney has only suggested what will take its place nothing has been officially confirmed yet so here’s what we know about dinan’s future replacement

    Per the release of this video currently Disney’s looking towards South and Central America for inspiration because of the high density of animals in both of these locations right they’ve covered Africa they’ve covered Asia and other areas of the park now they want to cover South and Central America now if this

    Tells you how incredibly fluid Disney’s plans are for this park back in 2022 when a potential expansion was originally announced for Animal Kingdom Disney brought up the possibilities of a Moana or zootopia area instead so this tropical America’s concept is pretty different from what we were initially

    Told if animal kingdom does go forward in this new Direction potential areas within the tropical Americas could incorporate stories like Encanto and Indiana Jones and now it’s time for the concept art let’s focus on the most colorful and obvious clue in this picture the multicolored structure in

    The back left hand side based off of Casa Madrigal if you’ve seen incanto then you already know how the madals home has several Magical elements on both the inside and the outside so wouldn’t it be cool if the new enconto attraction ended up being a haunted

    Mansion style dark ride but instead of a house filled with 999 happy haunts it was filled with the Madrigal family magic and songs call it wishful thinking but judging off the concept art Kasa Madrigal is going to be a major Beacon of this new area in some way shape or

    Form okay this next section of the concept art the circular area toward the bottom seems to be maybe a carousel maybe this is sort of what Triceratop spin is going to turn into since Animal Kingdom will have to either demolish or rethe its current aerial Carousel it does make sense to incorporate a

    Different familyfriendly flat ride here to make up for it but is that the Mexico Pavilion I see over on the right obviously epcot’s not invading Animal Kingdom or anything but it looks like we might see a similar pyramid featured in this land too and if it’s anything like

    The pyramid over in World Showcase that means it could potentially hold shops and restaurants maybe even an attraction now I know what you’re thinking it seems like I’m avoiding the elephant in the room or rather the Carnotaurus in the room yes with this new area it looks like the dinosaur ride might be

    Re-themed too and more than likely if it is it’ll be reemed to Indiana Jones the probability is actually really high on that one since the dinosaur ride uses a very similar ride system as the Indiana Jones ride currently in Disneyland and Tokyo Disney sea but if I were a betting

    Gal I’d say the animal kingdom version of this Indiana Jones attraction would still be slightly different from the other two since each Indiana Jones attraction that exists thus far is based off of a different Indie Adventure although they both feel very very similar to one another anyway the one in

    California takes you through the temple of the Forbidden eye and the one in Tokyo takes you through the temple of the Crystal Skull still very bumpy and scary okay now we’re headed to the Multiverse time to move our sleo thing over to the West Coast specifically speaking inside DCA Disney California

    Adventure and even more specifically speaking inside Avengers campus where the Multiverse is about to take over as it should so since we’re talking about Multiverse and time traveling here let’s travel back in time before Avengers campus was ever a thing back when Avengers campus was originally announced for Disney California Adventure there

    Was talk of a ride that would allow guests to fight side by side with their favorite MCU Heroes and yet when Avengers campus did open up in 2021 the only new ride we got was webslinger a Spider-Man Adventure where we are definitely not fighting alongside our favorite MCU Heroes we’re fighting

    Alongside our weak little arms that can’t even move anymore when we’re done with that ride now it’s unclear whether or not the Multiverse ride that Disneyland’s currently getting us hyped up for which will be placed in the heart of this new Multiverse section is going

    To be the same ride that was supposed to be built in the park originally regardless a new MCU ride is back on the table bringing together several Marvel superheroes and an ultimate battle against King Thanos now is it just me or does this concept art for the Mal ders

    Look familiar maybe really familiar don’t know what I’m talking about let’s take a closer look a destination d23 Brent strong from Disney imagineering explained the big bad idea behind the new ride basically The Avengers have developed a new technology that allows Avengers campus to become a sort of hub

    For the Multiverse this includes a new vehicle that can transport recruits to new worlds in a split second to go on a multi-world mission we also got to check out the new ride vehicle Concepts which will feature a design that combines elements of Tony Stark’s time suits with xandarian jump points and wakandan

    Technology for all of you who visited Epcot in the past couple years all of you EP cadians you probably know what I’m talking about now the xandarian jump point and ride vehicle featured in this concept art looks a whole lot like Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic rewind

    Right so I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if this ends up being another backwards launch coaster of sorts now I wouldn’t be mad if this were the case cuz Cosmic rewind is a good time but if this is true and we really are getting another coaster similar to Cosmic rewind I’m

    Going to have to remember to pack my Dramamine before heading out west now hearing about a potential Disneyland attraction centered around Pandora world of Avatar that was a pretty big shock for everyone and by everyone I mean even the people currently involved in the project when Disney CEO Bob Iger

    Initially announced the project back in February it was a big surprise to even the Disneyland Resort president Ken potrock who stated it’s great when you hear from your boss what you’re doing Disneyland planners still don’t know exactly what this project is going to entail but ptrack went on to say that

    Imagineers are working alongside director James Cameron and his team to create something really exciting and bold and that’s basically all we’ve got to go off of right now kind of hard to sleuth around here when even the imagineers are shocked by these kind of Revelations but if I were to take a shot

    In the dark I’d guess that something exciting and bold isn’t going to be a rehash of what we already have over an animal kingdom a lot of people are talking about them bringing over flight of Passage and I do not think that’s going to happen more so I could see this

    New attraction whatever it might be centered more around the newest Avatar film The Way of water after all this Avatar sequel was pretty well received in theaters and ended up breaking a lot of box office records so it makes sense that Disney would want to expand on that

    Franchise in the Parks too and also Bob Ager used the word attraction not ride and Disney uses attraction when they want to cover all their bases okay now it’s your turn what do you think is bound to show up in the Parks next let me know down in the

    Comments so we can keep the detective work going strong and don’t forget to sign up for the dfb newsletter so I can let you know directly if any of our Disney predictions actually come true fingers crossed on some of these thanks for listening everyone and thanks for

    Watching as always this is AJ for Disney food Vlog and we’ll see you real Soon

    1. “Whole new land” = 4 food service areas, 2 attractions based off of already existing other attractions and maybe a bathroom. They need to do better.

    2. I appreciate your upbeat optimistic outlook but they can barely keep up with maintenance. They are not going to give us anything new until at least the later half of the 10 year plan they keep yapping about. They will just keep feeding us smike and lies. I am about done with disney and that makes me really sad.

    3. Honestly they're in bad shape and going backwards, replacing very thoughtfully crafted immersive experiences with shallow IP plugs and generic modern homogenization, gradually make it feel more like Six Flags than what it once was, yet the value proposition is worse than ever. Disney needs entirely new leadership.

    4. Of all these, I think I only heard talk of that MK expansion but I am suuuuper excited to find out what that expansion is.

      But if it turns out to be Villains-themed,
      I.
      Will.
      DIE!

      OF EXCITEMENT!!! <3 <3
      Heck, I will probably have NO REASON to visit Disneyland overall anymore if it's Villains. (Never been to Disneyland admittedly and I KNOW it has its unique features…but I live on the East Coast, currently 6 1/2 hours from Disney World; which has four parks I could spend over a week at)

    5. If they would do it right they could bring all of their planned ones but wondering if they could bring finally the extensions for SW Galaxy´s Edge and Avatar that should be something they should consider or it would be shameful that they don´t care anymore for those what did they want to do with Mount Spielberg there and World of Avatar could need another cool Ride making it based on the new films of course but maybe they waiting for the third or fourth???? sadly since their decade 10yrs from 2024-2033 or so.

      Technically they could squeeze the Expansion Ride between the third and fourth film. And Batuu needs a third ride since they are too lame to bring new Missions to Smuggler´s Run like back than teased.

    6. it could be more like the Spiderman Ride in Universal Studios it will not necessarily be a Cosmic Rewind clone that would be pretty lame and the ride Vehicle doesn´t look like it would be. And that Spidey Ride is amazing there so something similar in DCA would be awesome.

    7. To be honest, I think the new expansion in Magic Kingdom will end up being Villains-themed IF That is one of the ideas Disney has proposed. For several reasons

      1…the villains just…don't really get enough recognition at Disney World in particular, even around Halloween. (Even villains like Cruella, Evil Queen, and so forth are more likely to be seen in Disneyland than Disney World if I'm not mistaken. At best you'd catch Lady Tremaine and the step-sisters around the castle, and Gaston at his tavern. Yes I know there's Artist Point at Wilderness Lodge for Evil Queen but still). Meanwhile for Halloween it's more just a stage show in front of the castle with Oogie Boogie, Hades, and the Sanderson SISTAAAS.
      Whereas Disneyland's Halloween event features NUMEROUS villains, (Sid from Toy Story, Facilier, Agatha from Wandavision, MADAME MIM!, and so forth), on their own little stages and backdrops as you walk on by and they interact with you in a sense.

      2, imagine a section of the park…just beyond the border between *Adventure*land, and *Frontier*land.
      What do you get with those two, the adventurous expedition of the Frontier (Western or space, regardless). An exploration…and fear…of the unknown. Of what resides and lurks, in the undiscovered country. >=3 Danger…lurking around every corner, even if discovered or scanned and mapped out.

      The harrowing density of the forest,
      the suffocating depths of the oceans
      The barren wastelands of the deserts
      and unforgiving cold of the mountains. >=3
      And with all of that, darkness and danger. Living nightmares of the mind.

      Sounds like a perfect spot for a section for all things diabolical, Devilish, and dastardly.

      3rdly, beautiful a world of the undead as Coco provides, that movie is more about the cultural aspects and focus of Dia de Los Muertos and family to well…the Mexican Culture or any who celebrate that day in particular. It would be better suited for Epcot, to be quite frank.

      4th, this is a HUGE Expansion to Magic Kingdom, compared to, if I'm not mistaken, the Fantasyland Expansion of 2013. As you said, it's on the storytelling scale of Galaxy's Edge and Pandora. Wouldn't it make more sense to use that kind of acreage or space, to present NUMEROUS villains of Disney's cinematography in an eerie setting? A place where villains rule, if at least roam more freely.

      And 5th, if the section were to be Villains themed…We COOOULD get ourselves a ride based on Yzma's Secret Lab. 😉 😉 <3 (and I KNOW, everybody here, would love that idea).

    8. I hope that Avengers Campus isn't getting another coaster. I like superheroes better than coasters.
      Also I don't think Disney needs any more places to buy alcohol

    9. I still hate putting Zootopia and encanto in animal kingdom. Neither fit with the original concept and theming of the park. Zootopia is just human issues with animal characters. Encanto only had one character who could speak to animals and he was barely featured.

    10. Disney is a big dumpster 🔥😮😢 If you are try to plan a trip, keep your expectations low, because Disney keeps changing their minds and prices 😢 Thanks for sharing thoughts 💭 😊

    11. I honestly would like to see less IP in the parks. Something fresh. But that's not what Disney is about anymore. They're in their drown-you-in-IP-adnauseum era. Gone are the days of letting Imagineers run wild and develop innovative attractions because that's obviously too expensive. Iconic Disney attractions like the Haunted Mansion and Pirates weren't some take on a hit movie. They were byproducts of letting the Imagineers do what they do!

    12. Disney is only interested in making money NOT building onto their parks in the USA. Reinventing tianna log flume ride …how original! I am afraid originality died and we repurpose or repaint as the case maybe. Universal meanwhile builds a whole new park!! Instead of building starcruiser they should have built on to Magic kingdom, but they rather waste money building that which was unaffordable to most people!

    13. AJ as usual another imformative well prodcued video except for the sound..volume is simply too low…recently most of ur videos are easy to listen to, to "hear"; but not this one…thanks & keep up ur excellent work!

    14. So before all of this exciting expansion if they do decide to do this they should be empty spaces already within the park. Food restaurants that are closed the water parks that are not open together etc. I think before they expand they should also really get genie plus down correctly. They should just be fixing the little things

    15. Wouldnt it make much more sense to have Encanto in Epcot as the next Country given that there is no South American representation and there is a perfect unused lot in World Showcase, seems like it makes more sense thematically than putting it AK.

    16. FWIW…we did the Keys to the Kingdom tour last month (very interesting!) and our Guide commented that in 5 years Frontierland will be unrecognizable; he believes it's going to transform into New Orleans Square. I made sure to take lots of pictures later….

    17. No, Disney Please don't change Test Track, it's one of our favorite rides!! We still can't forget The Maelstrom, even when we do love Frozen, but would-ve liked it to be a different ride.

    18. VILLAINS WOULD BE GREAT!!!!!!!!!! They are extremely entertaining especially with the interactions with the park guests of any age!! I always look around the parks when I'm there for the stepsisters and Jack Sparrow and other villains to walk by with their snarky comments that is a highlight!!!!!!

    19. AJ in the early 90’s there was rumors that they were looking at a Villain’s area that would have a few “real” roller coaster’s to fill that gap that WDW doesn’t have vs Universal. Maybe they might be going ahead with that idea. It’s Disney anything is possible.😂

    20. RE: New land at Magic Kingdom… Villains > Coco for this IMO. The reason is because MK has lands, not movies. Coco is a movie. That would be better @ HS.
