From stunning theater productions to culinary delights and exclusive events, the resort is set to provide even more reasons to visit.

New Productions and Attractions in Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is expanding its offerings with two exceptional productions. Debuting in summer 2025, “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” will take center stage. This humorous live stage show dives deep into the stories of Disney’s most iconic villains, featuring characters like Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent. Presented in the mystical realm of the Magic Mirror, the show promises engaging entertainment for audiences of all ages.

Simultaneously, “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” will bring Ariel’s underwater world to life through vibrant stage designs, puppetry, and visual effects. Alongside beloved songs such as “Under the Sea” and “Part of Your World,” the production introduces new musical pieces that balance nostalgia with fresh excitement for the audience.

Enchanting Highlights in Magic Kingdom Park

Summer 2025 brings an expansion of evening entertainment at Magic Kingdom with “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away.” This new nighttime parade blends innovative technology with nostalgic elements, showcasing characters from classics like “Pinocchio” and modern favorites such as “Frozen” and “Encanto.” The parade is illuminated by the Blue Fairy from “Pinocchio,” whose magic lights up the night.

In late summer 2025, the immersive “Pirates of the Caribbean-Inspired Tavern” will open its doors. Visitors can enjoy thematic food and beverages in a richly detailed setting. This tavern promises magical surprises that are sure to thrill fans of the iconic pirate saga.

Culinary Delights and Innovation in EPCOT

Opening in late spring 2025, the Spaceship Earth Lounge brings a sophisticated new addition to EPCOT. Inspired by the iconic Spaceship Earth structure, this lounge offers a luxurious atmosphere with exclusive culinary creations. Guests can enjoy stunning views of the World Celebration Gardens while marveling at the nighttime fireworks from a unique vantage point.

Another highlight at EPCOT is the return of Test Track, presented by General Motors. Reopening in late summer 2025, this attraction will feature a revamped concept and newly designed vehicles. The collaboration between General Motors and Walt Disney Imagineering promises to elevate the experience, delivering an exciting new ride for guests.

New Adventures and Farewells in Animal Kingdom

Winter 2025 marks the premiere of “Zootopia: Better Zoogether!” in the Tree of Life Theater. This 4D production features beloved characters Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde in a dynamic and interactive story, promising fun for the whole family.

Meanwhile, Animal Kingdom bids farewell to the DINOSAUR attraction, which will close in 2025 to make way for the new Tropical Americas Land. Visitors are encouraged to experience the ride one last time before it becomes a part of history.

Exclusive Evening Events and Festival Magic

The popular Disney After Hours events are returning in 2025, offering guests the chance to enjoy the parks after regular hours. These separately ticketed events provide three extra hours in the parks with reduced crowd levels and include snacks like popcorn, ice cream, and beverages, ensuring a premium experience.
