Well, that was a WEEK. Our heads are still swimming with everything that came out of the D23 Expo panels.

We heard about potential new lands coming to Disney Parks, got new trailers for upcoming TV shows and movies, and more. So in case it all seems a bit overwhelming, we’re breaking down the five biggest stories of the week.
Disney World Attraction Updates
Let’s start with some updates on Disney World attractions. This week, we learned that KiteTails at Disney’s Animal Kingdom will soon close. If you’re looking to catch the show, its last performance will be on September 30th.

However, we did see the Walt Disney World Railroad testing recently — we’re hoping this is a sign that it will reopen soon! It’s been closed since construction began on the TRON Lightcycle Run attraction.
