On a sweltering July day in 1955, Anaheim, California was buzzing. It was opening day at Disneyland, and even with the public skepticism, union strikes and extreme heat, the crowds showed up in droves. Since then, the entertainment juggernaut has revamped the theme park industry more times than I can count, with multiple park openings around the world––from Shanghai to Paris––and annual additions that keep the consumers coming back. Now, Disney’s taking things up a notch, reportedly investing $60 billion over the next 10 years to expand both its theme park and cruise divisions (which is double the amount they spent over the previous decade). It’s one of the biggest park expansion plans in Disney history and, after the 2024 D23 Expo this past weekend, we finally have details on what to expect.

For the uninitiated, D23 is the official Disney fan club founded in 2009, and biannually they host an expo filled with insider experiences including major announcements (like new shows and movies), sneak peeks and celebrity appearances. Here’s every exciting new ride and attraction coming to Walt Disney World and Disneyland in 2025 and beyond, from a land dedicated to Disney villains to an Indiana Jones-themed thriller.
