Hey Thrill Seekers,
Disney annual conference D23 kicks off this weekend and even before a visitor has stepped foot inside the convention centre in California Disney have dropped some some welcome news.
Epcot
Disney have big plans for Epcot, the development with be done over multiple years and will see new experiences added that will make the park more Disney, more family, more timeless and more relevant to the millions of guests who visit each year.
The reinvention of Epcot will include Journey of Water, Inspired by “Moana.” This first-ever attraction based on the Walt Disney Animation Studios hit film, “Moana,” will let guests interact with magical, living water in a beautiful and inspiring setting.
And this October, guests will be able to visualize all of the exciting plans for Epcot at a new experience center in the Odyssey Events Pavilion, called Walt Disney Imagineering presents the Epcot Experience. Inside this first-of-its-kind offering within a Disney park, guests will discover engaging and interactive exhibits that allow you to step inside the relentless innovation, energy and excitement and see some never-before-revealed details driving the future of Epcot all throughout this unprecedented period of transformation.
Tron
Disney also confirmed the name of the Tron ride coming to Disney’s Magic Kingdom in 2021.
Disney have confirmed the name will be Tron Lightcycle Run
Star Wars
Although not strictly theme park related I thought I’d also include the Start Wars hotel news.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will be a new, first-of-its-kind vacation experience where guests will check in for a two-night adventure aboard a glamorous starship. Once onboard, guests will interact with characters and become active participants in stories that unfold around them on their galactic journey.
We’re expecting lots more information this weekend and as usual we’ll keep you in the loop.
Smiles included…
Jamie
