Disney4me Posted Tuesday at 09:00 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:00 PM If there’s one thing we know about The Walt Disney Company, it’s that they like to keep us on our toes. You never know what Disney might announce! Who would have guessed that a Villains show is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios?! From Magic Kingdom to EPCOT to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, every single Disney park will change in 2025. What does that mean for you? Well, your trips will change, too! Cinderella Castle If you’re planning a Disney World trip in 2025, you’re going to want to listen carefully. Three of the four parks – Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios – are about to become complete construction zones. In a few years, these big changes will totally enhance Disney World. But for the next few months…it’s going to be, well, a mess. These are the biggest news drops that will change your trips to Disney World in 2025. Hollywood Studios Monsters, Inc. Land Let’s start with the park we’re expecting the most…chaos. Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be undergoing a major transformation. The Muppets Courtyard is closing permanently (sad!) to make way for the new Monsters, Inc. Land. ©Disney We still don’t have an exact closing date, but construction on this new land is planned to start in 2025. This means at least several parts, but more likely ALL, of Muppets Courtyard will close in 2025. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Re-theme But wait; there’s more! Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster is getting re-themed into a Muppets-themed coaster. Yes, really. The Muppets may be getting kicked out of the Muppets Courtyard, but they are not getting evicted from Hollywood Studios altogether. Disney didn’t share a timeline for this one either, but construction could start in 2025. For now, we will just have to wait and see! ©Disney While this park is under construction, we expect the park to feel a little more crowded and anticipate some bottlenecks. Let’s just say we are excited for all the new projects to come to an end (before they even begin!). Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After Back in October, Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy permanently closed. This area will soon be used for a brand-new Disney Villains stage show called “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After.” Villains are taking over Disney’s Hollywood Studios! ©Disney We don’t know much about this show yet, but Disney did hint that the show is set to feature some of your favorite Disney Villains, like Captain Hook, Maleficent, and Cruella De Vil. They will transform the stage into the “mysterious, reflective realm of the Magic Mirror” and perform live music and dances. ©Disney We cannot WAIT to see this! The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure Waaay back when Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopened after the pandemic, Voyage of the Little Mermaid did not reopen. Eventually, Disney announced that a NEW show would take its place. The new show will be titled “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure,” and after a slight edit to the original timeline, the show will officially open this summer! The Little Mermaid: A Musical Adventure This show will use a combination of live actors, puppets, digital animation, and live motion capture to replicate the show’s underwater setting. The Little Mermaid: A Musical Adventure Plus, the show will have two NEW songs that weren’t part of the previous show: “Daughters of Triton” and “Kiss the Girl.” Disney’s Animal Kingdom Dinoland U.S.A. Closing Say goodbye to the dinosaurs! Dinoland U.S.A. is officially closing, and the phased closures start on January 13th, 2025. This area is closing to make way for a brand-new Tropical Americas land called Pueblo Esperanza. There will be a new Encanto ride, set inside the enchanted Casita… ©Disney …an Indiana Jones attraction, which will have a brand new story… ©Disney …a carousel attraction for little ones, and so much more. We can’t wait to see how Disney is able to transform this space. Pueblo Esperanza Carousel Concept Art ©Disney It’s Tough to Be a Bug Closure That’s not the only part of the park getting an update, though! Over on Discovery Island, a new Zootopia: Better Zoogether! show will replace It’s Tough to Be a Bug at the Tree of Life Theater. While we don’t have an exact date, Dsiney hinted this should be ready by winter 2025. ©Disney The good news is that there are some FUN additions on the horizon. The bad news is that Animal Kingdom will feel smaller and busier than ever while Dinoland is under construction. Magic Kingdom Magic Kingdom will see some of the BIGGEST changes, so be prepared for a total construction zone. First, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will close on January 6th, 2025. This ride will be down for refurbishment for over a year. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Speaking of Big Thunder, a HUGE new Villains Land is coming “beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.” We’ve spotted some cranes in the area, so this could be under construction as we speak. See the crane? Villains Land will feature fan-favorite Disney Villains from popular Walt Disney Animation Studios films and two new attractions. TWO new rides! ©Disney Oh, and there’s more. Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America are permanently closing. These areas will be replaced by a new Cars-themed area. This new expansion in Magic Kingdom will include the addition of two Cars attractions. The first one will have you racing through the mountains and along wild terrains, all while trying to dodge geysers and splashing through mud holes. While the second attraction will be more family-friendly and geared for smaller racers. ‘Cars’ area in Magic Kingdom ©Disney Get ready for a new DVC lounge, too. This one will take over the old Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade. ©Disney Phew! That’s a LOT. Be prepared for big crowds, ride closures, and lots and lots of construction walls. We suggest being super strategic about how you spend your days in the parks — and if you want to avoid construction, go to EPCOT!
