D23 What We Know So Far

Morning Mouseketeers!

Another day of dreaming we were at the D23 Expo. Before we get even more jealous let's recap what we've learned so far...

Movies- We are getting some pretty promising movies ahead from Pixar to Marvel (catch up on more below)

Parks- Both Disneyland and Disney World are getting 14 acre Star Wars Lands that will bring us direct to this popular universe with new rides, updates to Star Tours, and fireworks... again more details below, and while you're checking that out that look at this epic Toy Story Land too! Hollywood Studios is getting a facelift baby!


We got more details on the new Norway Pavillon in Epcot and you can rest knowing that all buildings and atmosphere will be taken out of Norway! The Pavillon will not be all Frozen although the star attraction will be Frozen Ever After.  Disney promises to keep in the tradition of World Showcase while sending you on a Frozen Fun Trip :) And how cute does Sven look... Epcot Update

Oh and speaking of Epcot introducing Soarin Around The World!!! Instead of flying over California guests will fly all over the world... hopefully over the many Disneylands! Oh and the orange groves... love that!

Taking a quick ride to Animal Kingdom now where the talk seems to be focused on Avatar Land... while we've been skeptical we aren't as skeptical after yesterday... still some nerves though.  The thrilling world of Pandora will get even more thrilling in the new land's centerpiece, AVATAR Flight of Passage.  This attraction will let guests soar on on a Banshee over a vast alien world.

Also more details on nighttime at Animal Kingdom.  Rivers Of Light is going to be unlike anything else you've ever seen in Disney parks.  Live performers, floating lanterns, water screens and swirling  animal imagery will make this show a can't miss this spring... we're seeing an animal Fantasmic maybe?  Also set to take place when the sun goes down at Animal Kingdom is The Sunset Kilimanjaro Safaris featuring 2 new species. That's right African Wild Dogs and Hyenas!!!
Whoopi?!

We also learned about some new merchandise that will have us broke and more!! Updates on the way from that and today's fun.

Talk to ya soon,
