Avengers Campus

And we don’t even need to tell ya how excited we are, because we’re sure you are, too! We’ve spent the last few months telling you just about everything you need to know about this new Marvel-inspired land, from the wacky food offerings to an all-new attraction experience. And today, we’re watching the grand opening LIVE!

Tonight, Disney is streaming the Avengers Campus opening ceremony for us all to enjoy — and we’re even going to get a peek inside the land! Needless to say, we’re pumped for this BIG step forward. So of course, we tuned in!

The event began with a virtual tour guided by the voice of Friday, one of Tony Stark’s latest creations! At first glance, Avengers Campus looks like it will be a super interactive area where the heroes we know from the comics and films teach us how to become the next set of Avengers!

The characters will be a major part of this new land and will have many opportunities to interact with guests.

We got to see even more of WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure, where we get to help Spider-Man fight off the Spider Bots he created!

Although we’ve seen most of the food from Avengers Campus, Disneyland Culinary Director John State took us though the eats at the Pym Test Kitchen and talked about the other restaurants in the new land!

When you visit Avengers Campus you’ll want to look up! Spider-Man will be soaring through the sky, and it’s quite the sight to see! We’ve gone into detail on how Disney makes Robo-Spider-Man fly, but it’s pretty incredible to watch it happen!

Then, Anthony Mackie, (known for playing the Falcon and the new Captain America) came out with the iconic shield and passed it on to the new Captain America of Avengers Campus. He gave a heartfelt speech about what the new Captain America meant to him and to everyone who is watching before the passing of the shield.
