    What are some of the newer offerings coming to Walt Disney World this summer? I'll be visiting with my husband in June. Thanks!

    Hi Michelle! I’m so happy to welcome you back to planDisney. We always love seeing Guests return with more magical vacation questions! You and your husband have chosen an amazing time for a visit to Walt Disney World Resort. There’s so much new to see and do, and you’ll be arriving just as several exciting experiences are making their debut in the coming week!

    Let’s start with newly reimagined attractions! At Magic Kingdom Park, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin have recently reopened after major refurbishments. Both attractions are now better than ever! On Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the wildest ride in the wilderness just got even wilder with a new track, new ride trains, and exciting new special effects. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin has been updated with new technology and effects, so we may finally be able to defeat the Evil Emperor Zurg once and for all!

    Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the newly reimagined Rock n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets debuts next week, and I’m already hearing from some fellow planDisney panelists who had a special preview that Animal and the Electric Mayhem are bringing this ride into a thrilling new era! At Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, don’t miss the new mission featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu. This is the way to out of this world fun!

    Be sure to also check out the new “Walt Disney Studios” outdoor courtyard Disney's Hollywood Studios. Having visited the real Walt Disney Studios in California last year, I can tell you that they have brought some very special elements to Hollywood Studios, and I can’t wait to check it out myself in a couple of weeks!

    At EPCOT, Soarin’ Across America debuts next week in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary! We will now get to soar across some of America’s most beautiful landscapes and iconic cities to appreciate the true majesty of the red, white, and blue!

    If that’s not enough, take a food expedition at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, or check out the new flavors at Tiffin’s! Then swing by and say jambo to the newest baby giraffe, Tucker, who you just might be able to spot on Kilimanjaro Safaris.

    Michelle, you are in for an adventure full of magic that is both timeless and new! If you have any more questions, come back and see us again here at planDisney. We are always here to help add a little extra pixie dust to your Disney vacation planning!

    Magically,
    Casey
