Disney Fans Get Ready for Big Announcements at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event
The D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is happening this week, and it's packed with announcements about upcoming changes to the Disney theme parks. One of the most anticipated announcements will come from the Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase on Saturday night.
During this panel, attendees can expect to hear more about what's in store for Disney World, including new rides and attractions. For example, there have been rumors that the Villains Land in Magic Kingdom might be toned down to make it family-friendly.
Attendees are also hoping to get some answers about the opening timeline for Piston Peak, a Cars-themed expansion in Frontierland, as well as more details about the two rides that will be part of this expansion. Another highly anticipated announcement is expected to come from Disney's Hollywood Studios, where construction on Monstropolis is underway.
Monstropolis is set to feature a roller coaster based on the doors scene from Monsters, Inc., and attendees are hoping to get an opening timeline for the new land as well as more details about the show going into the Glob Theater. In addition to these announcements, Disney fans can also expect to hear about ride updates, including the potential overhaul of Spaceship Earth.
