Welcome, Taru, to planDisney. I'm so excited that you found our helpful little corner of the internet! In the wonderful world of
Zootopia, anyone can be anything, and at the Walt Disney World Resort, every vacation can become its own unforgettable adventure!
While our friends in the U.K. and Ireland are currently able to book vacations to Disney World, booking availability in some European markets has not yet been released. Be sure to keep an eye on
the Walt Disney World website so you can book your dream vacation as soon as availability opens! Until then, consider this your official invitation to start planning a "paw-some" adventure of your own.
After all, just because you can't officially book your vacation right at this moment doesn't mean that you can't start planning some of your dream activities. I always recommend that families sit down and each identify their top must-dos. That becomes the seed for your itinerary planning! As they say in
Zootopia, sometimes you've just got to "Try Everything!" So, here are some newer experiences you may want to check out during your upcoming vacation:
- At Magic Kingdom Park, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin have just undergone extensive refurbishments. And don't forget that Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away debuted last year, so if you haven't been to the resort in a while, I highly recommend checking it out. Oh, and don't forget The Beak and Barrel. This is the first lounge in Magic Kingdom, and it's themed to Pirates of the Caribbean. I think Nick Wilde would tell you to keep your eyes and ears open when you're in there because it's full of clever details and hidden surprises.
- At Disney's Hollywood Studios, you can experience a new mission on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and the reimagined Rock 'n' Roller Coaster featuring the Muppets. Plus, don't overlook The Little Mermaid - A Musical Adventure and Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After, both of which debuted less than a year ago. Between heroes, villains, pirates, and rock stars, this park feels just as lively and unpredictable as a day in Zootopia itself!
- At EPCOT, Frozen Ever After got some brand-new animatronics this past February, and Test Track was reimagined last year. Plus, the new GEO-82 lounge is a must-visit for Guests over the age of 21. Between innovation, imagination, and world discovery, I think even Judy Hopps would feel right at home exploring EPCOT!
- At Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, you've got Zootopia: Better Zoogether!, which took over the theater inside the Tree of Life toward the end of last year. Plus, any Bluey fans would love to experience Bluey's Wild World at Conservation Station, which just opened in May of this year! Just like in Zootopia, this animal kingdom is full of adventure, heart, and a whole lot of personality.
Taru, best wishes planning your 2027 adventure, and I hope your vacation is "better zoogether" with the people you love most. If you have any other questions,
I'm here for you!
Adventure awaits,
Matt
