Disney4me Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Disney World never stays static, and in 2025, it’s about to get even more exciting! Magic Kingdom From major refurbishments to entirely new lands and experiences, there’s a ton to look forward to in the parks. Let’s break down all the new rides and attractions coming to Disney World in the next few years, including revamped fan favorites and brand-new experiences you won’t want to miss. Test Track 3.0 (2025) If you’re a fan of Test Track, you’re probably aware that the ride has been closed since mid-2024 for a major refurbishment. The new version, Test Track 3.0, is slated to open in late summer 2025. Test Track Not much is confirmed yet about the ride’s new look, but we know it’s going to be a complete overhaul. Disney has hinted at a “joy ride” through scenes featuring technology, customization, and personalization. And don’t worry—there will be some nods to the original World of Motion attraction that Test Track replaced back in the day. While the wait might feel like a test of its own, once this iconic attraction opens, it’s going to be an incredible new experience for EPCOT fans. Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away Parade (2025) Magic Kingdom fans, rejoice—Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away, a brand-new nighttime parade, is coming this summer! ©Disney This parade will feature some of Disney’s most beloved characters, including Elsa, Miguel, Moana, and Peter Pan. The Coco-inspired float, which will have Miguel, Dante, and Pepita crossing a marigold bridge, is already a fan favorite, and it’s set to bring mariachi music to the streets of Magic Kingdom. ©Disney This parade is definitely going to be a spectacle you won’t want to miss. Cars Expansion & Villains Land at Magic Kingdom (Beyond) Disney is bringing two all-new Cars attractions and Villains Land to Magic Kingdom. The Cars expansion is taking over Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America, adding two thrilling new rides. ©Disney One will have guests racing through mountainous terrain, dodging geysers and splashing through mud holes. The second will be geared toward younger riders, offering a more family-friendly experience. Coming to Frontierland at Magic Kingdom, a new area themed to Pixar Animation Studios’ “Cars” will leave Radiator Springs and head to the wilderness with two new attractions including an off-road race. But that’s not all—Villains Land, located just beyond Big Thunder Mountain, will feature two major new attractions. This all-new land will be dedicated to the wicked Disney villains you love to hate, with creative designs from Walt Disney Imagineering that promise to push the boundaries of theming and storytelling. Plus, there will be new shopping and dining options to complete the experience. ©Disney Zootopia: Better Zoogether at Animal Kingdom (2025) Animal Kingdom is also getting a new show in winter 2025! Zootopia: Better Zoogether will feature Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, who will guide guests through the biomes seen in the popular film. ©Disney This new attraction is taking over the spot previously occupied by It’s Tough to Be a Bug, marking a fresh direction for Animal Kingdom’s offerings. Zootopia fans are sure to love the new immersive experience when it debuts. Tropical Americas at Animal Kingdom (Beyond) Not only will Animal Kingdom get a Zootopia attraction, but it’s also getting a major new land: Tropical Americas. This area will bring Encanto to life with a magical dark ride through the Madrigal family’s Casita, as well as an Indiana Jones Adventure ride that promises all the thrills you’d expect from the iconic archaeologist. There will also be a new carousel! @Disney It’s shaping up to be a must-see addition to the park, blending culture, adventure, and Disney magic seamlessly. Mandalorian and Baby Yoda Missions on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (2026) If you’ve been to Galaxy’s Edge, you know that Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is a fan favorite. Starting on May 22, 2026, the ride is getting a major update that will bring the characters from The Mandalorian and Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) into the action. Disney has teased two new missions: one based on the movie and another that will be incorporated directly into the ride. New missions on Smuggler’s Run ©Disney The updated ride will let guests fly alongside Mando and Grogu on some thrilling missions, and it will also take them to exciting new places, including Cloud City and the ruins of the Death Star. This new version is sure to be a hit with Star Wars fans and anyone who loves an epic adventure. The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure & Villains Unfairly Ever After (2025) Get ready for two new shows at Hollywood Studios in 2025! First up is Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After, where your favorite villains—think Captain Hook, Cruella de Vil, and Maleficent—will try to convince the audience that they were treated unfairly in their stories. This new show is replacing Lightning McQueen Racing Academy and is sure to be a hit with fans of Disney’s darker side. ©Disney The second show, The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure, will be a revamped version of the former Voyage of the Little Mermaid show, complete with live performers, puppetry, and new songs like “Kiss the Girl.” ©Disney These two shows will be opening on May 27, 2025, so you’ll have plenty of entertainment options to choose from when you visit Hollywood Studios. Monsters, Inc. Land (Beyond) Fans of Monsters, Inc. will have a new place to explore in Disney World: Monsters, Inc. Land. ©Disney This new area will feature Disney’s first-ever suspended coaster, where you’ll zoom through the building just like Sulley and Mike Wazowski. ©Disney In addition to the roller coaster, Monsters, Inc. Land will also feature a brand-new theater show. We can’t wait to see what new antics Sulley and Mike will be up to! Muppets Take Over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Last but certainly not least, the Muppets are taking over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster! The new storyline will have the Muppets teaming up with some of the biggest names in music for a rockin’ music festival. ©Disney It’s going to be a hilarious and zany addition to Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood Studios.
