The crowing news out of theDisney Parks , Experiences and Products panel atD23 Expo(outside of theAvengers Campus Multiverse drive ) revealed a “ Blue Sky ” intro ( likely computer code for , just pitched at the audience ) to get us cognize Disney Animation and Disney Imagineering have been in public lecture to fetch late hit film like Encanto , Coco and Zootopia to areas of the Walt Disney World Resort . You recognise , those certain spots that could use some updates or could make way for some vacant land we did n’t even think to consider . These are some bold Proto-Indo European in the sky daydream that we go for they make good on .
Imagineering ’s Chris Beatty and Walt Disney Animation ’s Chief Creative Officer Jennifer Lee unite Parks chairman Josh D’Amaro on stage to give us a tease of what they ’re think as far as the opening go .

In Animal Kingdom , DinoLand U.S.A. may be going the way of their prehistorical opposite number to make way of life for a full Zootopia expanse highlighting the various boroughs seen in the pic . It would make sense that this one ’s in the works , as some parks of DinoLand have already been cleared out and demolish just as Shanghai Disneyland is set to debut the first iteration of a Zootopia expanse at their resort . The employment ’s been done and planned out , so we call up this one is very potential on the way . Also announced was another Moana area at Animal Kingdom — perhaps a dark water ride from the looks of the fine art .

Let ’s hold Disney to make their Magic Kingdom expanding upon come in to living , because it ’s bonkers and absolutely the road theme parkland enthusiasts have wanted them to go with late Disney features that felt primed for attractions . The Mexican Greenwich Village of Santa Cecilia from Pixar ’s Coco was featured as a walkable area observe El Dia de Los Muertos , and could have a dark ride that will take Mungo Park Edgar Guest to the land of the idle on fantastical Alebrijes like Pepita . Nearby , you’re able to also venture to Encanto ’s Casa Madrigal to explore the family home . candidly , that would be such an heroic build to capture the environments of each family member ’s realm of powers . What ’s really exciting is that they teased you could even find a door of your own .
And in the beyond beyond is the promise of a land of evil where Disney villains are just roaming around wreaking havoc . This one is peradventure a trivial far - fetched , but interesting if they do lean into more of a shivery field . Sadly , that seems unlikely , as they divest Disneyland ’s Snow White drive of some of its more terrific “ for the kiddo ” elements . It would make more sense to mayhap make that area into Halloweentown with A Nightmare Before Christmas drive , since the east coast does n’t do a Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay .
While all these melodic theme seem awe-inspiring , and we definitely consider some of these films will needs make their way into the parks , this feel more like a intro to approximate interest . Right now , there are a few surface area in desperate need of update , like Tomorrowland ( on both coast ) and the Treehouse at Disneyland ( which was my bet for an Encanto walk - through ) . We ’ll see what finish up come about in the next 5 - 10 years with these construct .
