7 Changes Debut at Disney World Including Ride Openings, New Lands and More

Disney World looks completely different today than it did yesterday!

From brand-new experiences to ride re-themes, there has been a TON of change across the Disney World Resort. In case you missed anything, don’t worry, we’re going over ALL of it right here. Buckle up, because there’s a lot to talk about!

Bluey’s Wild World

Let’s start in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, where Bluey and Bingo have officially taken over the Conservation Station that once held Rafiki’s Planet Watch. To get to Bluey’s Wild World, you’ll need to take the Wildlife Express.

To check out Bluey’s Wild World, the interactive show with Bluey and Bingo, you’ll need to get in the virtual queue. The show features interactive games and dance parties with your favorite sisters!

There, you can also check out Jumping Junction. It’s an area that has wallabies and kangaroos available for viewing. Disney Cast Members confirmed that this area will open soon with walking paths. For now, the animals are still getting used to being around people. So, be on the lookout for when that opens!

Soarin’ Across America

Let’s head over to EPCOT, where Soarin’ Around the World has been changed to a completely new experience called Soarin’ Across America. The change was made for America’s 250th anniversary.

The brand-new version of Soarin’ takes guests across both coasts of the U.S., highlighting some of the country’s iconic landscapes and cityscapes. You’re going to see some sweeping natural beauty, recognizable skylines, and listen to a remixed version of the iconic Soarin’ score.

The ride has a breathtaking opening scene that we loved, and it still has all those signature smells at new destinations. The new ride also brought a brand-new snack to EPCOT, and it was delicious!

GoofyCore

Cool Kids’ Summer has officially begun, which means GoofyCore at CommuniCore Hall is back! Expect a party, with tons of performers to get kids involved with the games and a dance. Oh, and Goofy will be there as well.

Jessie’s Roundup

Speaking of Cool Kids’ Summer, another limited-time experience has arrived at Disney World. Only, this one is at Magic Kingdom, and it’s completely NEW. The new experience is called Jessie’s Roundup, and it has taken over The Diamond Horseshoe restaurant.

Jessie’s Roundup is a lively, upbeat dance party featuring Jessie, Woody, and Bullseye. Inside Jessie’s Roundup, we danced with Woody and Jessie to iconic Toy Story songs. It’s only here for Cool Kids’ Summer, so you have until September 8th to check it out.

Walt Disney Studios

Alright, let’s head over to the park that had the most changes take place, and that’s Disney’s Hollywood Studios. A brand-new land opened at the park called Walt Disney Studios, and we absolutely ADORE it!

The new courtyard brings a whole lot of nostalgia and magic to Hollywood Studios, as well as bringing back the iconic Mickey Sorcerer hat. It is a “special nod to the legendary Walt Disney Studios Lot” in Burbank, California.

You’ll find statues of beloved Disney characters around the courtyard, as well as posters of some of your favorite Disney films. There are even parts of the concrete that have handprints and footprints of Disney characters.

The new land is still home to The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure and Walt Disney Presents. It also features the brand-new Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! show.

The changes don’t end there, as the new area is doing a phased opening. What you see today isn’t all the land will have to offer! You can expect to see The Magic of Disney Animation and the Drawn to Wonderland playground soon.

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is finally open at Hollywood Studios, and people were flooding to check it out. This is a brand-new retheme of the roller coaster starring Aerosmith. The ride features new songs, a new paint job, and animatronics!

Along with the ride comes a new snack stand with Muppets-inspired food, as well as new merchandise in the Rock Around Shop store you walk through after you ride. There’s a lot for Muppets fans to indulge in!

Mando and Grogu on the Millennium Falcon

Walking over to Galaxy’s Edge, there are brand-new missions on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu!

The ride has a ton of new things to offer, including three new adventures and new roles for the engineering position. The engineer can now communicate with Grogu and choose where the Falcon is headed. We’re seriously OBSESSED with this new ride.

So much is happening at Disney World, with so much more on the way! For all the latest Disney news and updates, make sure to stay tuned to AllEars.
