Tropical Americas opens in 2027 at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Disney confirmed the year at D23 in August 2024 and reaffirmed it at D23 in August 2026. The 11-acre land replacing DinoLand U.S.A. is under construction, with Antonio's Fiesta de Encanto, Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent, and the carousel El Carrusel de los Animalitos all taking shape.

The Encanto ride, officially named Antonio's Fiesta de Encanto, opens in 2027 as part of Tropical Americas at Disney's Animal Kingdom. It is the first Encanto ride-through attraction, celebrating Antonio's gift day inside the Madrigal family's Casita. Disney has confirmed it has no height requirement.

Yes. DINOSAUR closed permanently on February 2, 2026, and its building is being transformed into Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent, an adventure through an ancient Maya temple that is home to the legendary Tsukan serpent. It opens in 2027 as part of the Tropical Americas land at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

DinoLand U.S.A. is being replaced by Tropical Americas, an 11-acre land set in the village of Pueblo Esperanza. It includes Antonio's Fiesta de Encanto, Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent, the carousel El Carrusel de los Animalitos, a Maya-inspired play area, and one of Disney World's largest quick-service restaurants. DinoLand closed in phases, ending February 2, 2026.

Monstropolis opens in phases beginning in 2027 at Disney's Hollywood Studios, which Disney confirmed at D23 in August 2026. The first phase includes the Glob Theater show Welcome to Monstropolis!, Harryhausen's restaurant, Archie's Scare Pig Pizza, the Monsters University Alumni Club, and the Scareporium. The Door Vault coaster opens at a later date that Disney has not announced.

The Door Vault is Disney's first suspended vertical lift coaster, set in the door vault from Monsters, Inc. at Monstropolis in Disney's Hollywood Studios. Guests visit the monster world during H.U.M.A.N. Day, short for Humans Understanding Monsters Are Nice. The rest of the land begins opening in 2027, and the coaster follows at a later date that Disney has not announced.

MuppetVision 3D closed permanently on June 7, 2025, along with PizzeRizzo and Mama Melrose's, to make way for Monstropolis, a Monsters, Inc. themed land. The former Muppets Courtyard is becoming a monster city that opens in phases from 2027, with the Door Vault coaster to follow at a later date.

Yes. The Rivers of America, Tom Sawyer Island, and the Liberty Square Riverboat closed permanently on July 7, 2025. The site is becoming Piston Peak National Park, a Cars-themed land, as part of the largest expansion in Magic Kingdom history.

Disney has not confirmed an opening year for Piston Peak National Park, the Cars-themed land at Magic Kingdom. A permit filed in February 2026 targets infrastructure completion by December 2027, which points to an opening around 2029. That year is an estimate. The land's two attractions are Cars Ridge Run Rally and Miss Fritter's Daredevil Spin-Along.

Piston Peak National Park is a Cars-themed land under construction at Magic Kingdom, built on the former Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island. It is themed as a wilderness of towering trees, snowcapped mountains, waterfalls, and geysers. It has two attractions: Cars Ridge Run Rally, an off-road race up a snow-covered peak, and Miss Fritter's Daredevil Spin-Along, a family ride built around Miss Fritter from Cars 3.

Disney has not announced an opening year for Villains Land at Magic Kingdom. Permit filings target infrastructure completion by December 2027, and construction pace points to an opening in 2030 or later. The land is rising in the northwest corner of the park, beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Disney revealed both headline attractions at D23 in August 2026: a Maleficent coaster racing through enchanted briars around her mountaintop fortress, and a dark ride hosted by the Magic Mirror into the Evil Queen's catacombs and a Mirror Realm filled with Disney Villains. The land also has dining and shopping, built in a style Imagineers call Conjured Architecture.

The current development beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is the largest expansion in Magic Kingdom history, adding two new lands at once: Piston Peak National Park, themed to Cars, and Villains Land, home to the Disney Villains. Both are under construction on and beyond the former Rivers of America.
