Walt Disney Global had a modestly-major (is {that a} contradiction?) information week with a number of bulletins containing thought artwork, main points, dates and extra as a part of its Play ‘n’ Preview match, forward of the larger Vacation spot D23. One of the crucial extra consequential updates fell in the course of the cracks, so we’re breaking down the large bulletins and masking what we view as key takeaways…and why.
There have been additionally a couple of conspicuous omissions that had been no longer shared that differently would’ve been logical suits for the displays. On this case, we’re in large part speaking about dates. The one announcement in this entrance is the Zootopia: Higher Zoogether opening date & main points, which doesn’t make this listing of key takeaways as a result of there’s no longer in reality a lot to mention. It’s the largest information from the development, however is kind of as anticipated–simply a few weeks early. (Possibly much more than that, relying at the length of previews.)
Extra notable is the loss of timelines about the entirety else at the horizon in 2026. No particular dates, and no longer even any seasons. Anyway, right here’s the inside track that caught out to us, a few of which flew underneath the radar a number of the bulletins…
Cool Child Summer time Returns in 2026
“Cool Child Summer time” is the brand new summer season match at Walt Disney Global geared toward households with young children. All over this particular match, there are new reviews in Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom from Might 27 via September 1, 2025. Those come with DJ-fueled dance events, wonder personality appearances, hands-on actions, and extra.
In saying that Cool Child Summer time would go back in 2026, Imagineer Michael Hundgen didn’t supply any further main points or dates. He did, then again, percentage his circle of relatives’s reviews all the way through Cool Child Summer time. Hundgen is the Portfolio Govt Inventive Manufacturer for Walt Disney Global, and having a Florida-based head Imagineer who in fact reviews the parks together with his younger circle of relatives as an ordinary visitor is a big asset. Disneyland has benefited enormously from this dynamic over the a long time.
Let’s be genuine: Cool Child Summer time was once not anything particular this yr. It moves me as an “match” that was once thrown in combination in no time as Walt Disney Global attempted to marketplace to households and fight mainstream media experiences that Walt Disney Global was once “turning its again” on heart magnificence households. Regardless of this, I noticed heaps of households participating within the actions–Animation Courtyard felt like a useless mall that was once somewhat-alive for the primary time in years.
I’m cautiously constructive about Cool Child Summer time getting a sophomore season. Optimistically the inaugural yr was once a studying enjoy, and it returns larger and higher subsequent yr. I may just see it being a Jollywood Nights more or less situation, with yr two providing a marked development over the primary.
With extra time, I am hoping extra emphasis is positioned at the cool facet of Cool Child Summer time, as there are such a large amount of inventive techniques for Walt Disney Global to assist visitors beat the summer season warmth. Once more, we’ll level to the “Get Rainy!” journey improvements and leisure Tokyo Disney Lodge has performed for years.
Robin Williams “Misplaced Boy” Personality Returns
Even supposing Walt Disney Global didn’t make any new bulletins in regards to the upcoming ‘Magic of Disney Animation’ enchantment, they did unlock a brand new poster teasing the go back of the past due Robin Williams’ Misplaced Boy personality from the unique enchantment’s brief movie, Again to Neverland, that debuted in 1989.
In Again to Neverland, Williams performed a Disney-MGM Studios visitor selected from the gang via Walter Cronkite to head in the course of the animation procedure and be changed into a personality to go into the sector of his favourite movie. Because the name suggests, Williams heads to Neverland (as a Misplaced Boy) and battles Captain Hook.
Again to Neverland in fact predates Aladdin, wherein Williams starred because the voice of the Genie. Even supposing it’s come to be related to Aladdin, the vacationer dress Genie wears on the finish of the movie is in fact a nod to Williams’ stereotypical vacationer apparel worn in Again to Neverland. Williams’ Misplaced Boy was once additionally featured within the As soon as Upon a Studio brief movie launched in honor of the Walt Disney Corporate’s a hundredth Anniversary.
Walt Disney Global already introduced {that a} movie is coming to the Magic of Disney Animation, and truthfully, we are hoping it’s only a revival of Again to Neverland. Even supposing As soon as Upon a Studio is implausible and one thing superb may well be performed in that taste–and that’s most certainly what’s going to occur–Again to Neverland nonetheless holds up.
Not like different celebrities who seem in theme park sights as check-cashing or contractual legal responsibility workout routines, Robin Williams (unsurprisingly) gave it his all and is his quintessential better than existence, hilarious self. Captain EO made a comeback after Michael Jackson’s loss of life, and so must this.
New Buzz Lightyear House Ranger Spin Cars
Walt Disney Global additionally shared a primary take a look at the brand new ‘celebrity cruiser’ journey automobiles for Buzz Lightyear’s House Ranger Spin. As you’ll be able to see, the brand new automobiles take a look impressed via Megastar Command, which is completely on-theme for Buzz Lightyear’s House Ranger Spin.
This can be a great glow-up. The former journey automobiles had been originals, courting again a long time and serving faithfully to prior iterations of the flight-centric sights that experience occupied this area. Additionally of be aware is that those journey automobiles have real-time video presentations for scoring, and they don’t max out at 999,999. (Imagineers stated the scoring is limitless, to which we are saying, problem accredited.)
Even supposing it’s no longer new-news, Imagineering reiterated that every journey automobile will now come with hand-held blasters for higher goal, serving to visitors to attain much more issues. Those enhanced blasters may also come with an always-on laser and are available two other colours according to celebrity cruiser, along with new lighting fixtures, sound and vibration results, so avid gamers know the place they’re aiming all over the project.
The static Z objectives discovered within the enchantment lately can be upgraded with new generation that may let them react and remove darkness from when hit. It additionally opens the door for a couple of different concepts Imagineers keep in mind.
Similarly vital right here was once the loss of updates a few reopening date or season for Buzz Lightyear’s House Ranger Spin, suggesting it’s no longer ahead of Spring Wreck. We await the reimagining will take for much longer than that, and can be one of the crucial choices for Cool Child Summer time 2026. Be expecting a larger divulge and extra surprises at the horizon.
New Rainbow Caverns Scene in Large Thunder
For round a yr, Disney has been promising “new magic” in Large Thunder Mountain Railroad. We now know that one such example of that is when the trains rattle their approach underground to impressive herbal caverns stuffed with phosphorescent swimming pools, shimmering and illuminating iridescent stalagmites (those at the flooring) and stalactites (those at the ceiling). Plus, loads of bats!
The Rainbow Caverns are stunning, true to their identify with a scene that’s extra colourful than ahead of. However then a flash of lightning unearths that they aren’t as pleasant as they first seem. That menacing rumble from deep throughout the mountain is also an indication that we aren’t welcome and shouldn’t undertaking deeper.
I’m a sucker for just right lighting fixtures, and this has the prospective to be a pleasant plussing to Large Thunder. However truthfully, I actually have a “that’s it?” response to this information. I’m conscious that the entire level of this undertaking is the monitor alternative. That’s the majority of the finances and what’s taking goodbye. However that isn’t precisely marketable, and Imagineering has perfected a ton of generation–projection mapping, lighting fixtures, bodily results, and many others–during the last decade since BTMRR was once redone at Disneyland.
My hope and expectation was once that Walt Disney Global’s model of the journey would practice the template of the Disneyland model, whilst additionally pulling from the playbook of Jungle Cruise at Tokyo Disneyland and different extra lately enhanced vintage sights. Optimistically that’s nonetheless the plan, with larger and higher unearths at the horizon. It doesn’t make a lot sense for Disney to affordable out on improving the reveal scenes, as no matter cash spent there’s considerably lower than the monitor alternative undertaking as an entire, however what’ll see the oversized go back.
No Large Thunder Reopening Date
Takeaways are as a lot in what was once no longer stated as what was once published. On this case, Large Thunder Mountain Railroad no longer getting an reputable reopening date or perhaps a season suggests one in every of two issues.
The primary is that it’s no longer as shut as many lovers are hoping. Not at all once a wonder Christmas 2025 go back, which was once additional strengthened via connection with its 2026 go back. Even though this had been monitoring for January or February, my slump is that we’d’ve gained an “early 2026” timeline.
The second one is {that a} larger divulge is deliberate for Large Thunder one day. One that may come with the reopening season, extra thought artwork of different improvements, and information about the recovery and refurbishment. That is the kind of subject that may’ve been very best for Vacation spot D23. It’s truthfully peculiar that there’s no longer a devoted ‘Disney Mountains’ panel with an emphasis on BTMRR, particularly for the reason that Tiana’s Bayou Journey and TRON Lightcycle Run (each mountain-adjacent) have opened lately.
Zootopia Meet & Greet at Animal Kingdom
Now not most effective will you spot Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde at Zootopia: Higher Zoogether, however the pair can be greeting visitors at Discovery Island close to the Tree of Lifestyles on the Zoogether Day Amassing Spot.
You’ll in finding Judy and Nick wearing new appears from Zootopia 2, and so they’ll be thrilled to come up with a hug and shake your paw.
Zootopia: Higher Zoogether is opening proper ahead of DINOSAUR and the remainder of Dinoland shut. A part of the explanation that DINOSAUR hasn’t closed already is most certainly as a result of Animal Kingdom can’t manage to pay for to lose but every other enchantment. Even so, that is swapping an E-Price ticket thrill journey for a reveal. Animal Kingdom goes to wish the entire assist it may get in 2026, and “extra meet & greets” and fast hits geared toward households is most certainly the most efficient repair.
Audio Animatronics in Rock ‘n’ Curler Coaster Starring the Muppets
All over the pre-show of Rock ‘n’ Curler Coaster Starring the Muppets, you’ll be welcomed within the recording studio, the place you’ll in finding the Electrical Mayhem are cranking out some severely rocking tunes. Together with the best penguin audio engineers, we’ll see Scooter doing his very best to persuade Electrical Mayhem to prevent jamming and get to their more and more stressed lovers.
As is most certainly beautiful glaring, this pre-show occupies the very same area as the present Rock ‘n’ Curler Coaster Starring Aerosmith. It even makes use of the similar taste, with the Electrical Mayhem Band at the different aspect of the recording studio “glass” by the use of a big display screen. Additionally showing on separate displays flanking the principle one are Kermit and Pass over Piggy.
What’s much less glaring is that Scooter and the penguin audio engineers are Audio Animatronics! This can be a massive win for an enchantment that we in the past anticipated to be an effective and affordable undertaking–a “no dough” reimagining that was once a zeal undertaking for Imagineers, versus a well-funded one. Disney has already teased that there are extra unearths in retailer for RnRC, so we are hoping that this implies much more adjustments from a reveal point of view.
Electrical Mayhem Plays on Board Rock ‘n’ Curler Coaster
With the assist from our pals at Muppet Labs and an excessively rapid limousine, we’ll take a twisting, turning, and screamingly amusing street commute throughout Hollywood to succeed in the live performance in time all the way through the journey enjoy of Rock ‘n’ Curler Coaster Starring the Muppets. Alongside the street, the enduring surroundings and landmarks of Tinseltown will characteristic a Muppet twist.
During the very rapid limousine journey, you’ll listen the Electrical Mayhem enjoying probably the most maximum iconic, rockin’ hits to your ears to stay the song and adrenaline pumping. Walt Disney Global additionally teased that G-Drive Information may just unlock a live performance setlist quickly.
The massive takeaway here’s that Electrical Mayhem will play covers of hit rock song. It gained’t be their song (as some lovers was hoping), and it gained’t be common rock song (like Cosmic Rewind, and as we anticipated). That is someplace in between.
I’m in my opinion excited for this, as I believe it opens the door for funny interludes, and I experience Electrical Mayhem. I additionally suppose the Muppets are at their very best when reinterpreting others’ subject material. I’m additionally slightly frightened, as I’m no longer positive if the typical visitor reaction can be as robust. Regardless, nice to peer Imagineering take a larger swing and get the finances and autonomy to do one thing extra formidable with the RnRC reimagining.
No RnRC Dates
This isn’t vastly stunning, as Walt Disney Global’s conventional means is saying time limits as a part of ‘visitor enjoy updates’ which can be added as web site signals and disbursed to media and shuttle brokers. This isn’t as regards to short of not to announce “dangerous information” at press meetings, it’s additionally about giving an opportunity to inform impacted Solid Participants in order that they don’t in finding out information about their jobs at a splashy match.
Finally, it’s tricky to announce a gap date or season for Rock ‘n’ Curler Coaster Starring the Muppets with out sharing the ultimate date for Rock ‘n’ Curler Coaster Starring Aerosmith. My wager is that the ultimate date can be shared someday in September, most certainly along a ‘visitor enjoy replace’ that unearths extinction dates for DINOSAUR and the remainder of Dinoland.
Tom Morrow 2.0 Returns
Walt Disney Imagineering showed that Imagineer That! and Tom Morrow 2.0, its Audio Animatronics host, will go back by the use of YouTube with a “track in Monday” tease. No different main points got.
Imagineer That! was once a chain of brief interstitials hosted from EPCOT via Tom Morrow 2.0 that aired on Disney Channel within the past due Nineties and early 2000s. Visitors may just additionally meet Tom Morrow 2.0 at Innoventions in EPCOT, the place he served as a mascot of types for the interactive reveals till 2007.
I most effective vaguely take into account Tom Morrow 2.0 from Innoventions and not noticed the Disney Channel interstitials, however I used to be shocked to be told there’s a large number of Tom Morrow 2.0 lore. He later subject an look in Sew’s Supersonic Birthday celebration, and canonically, now belongs to Robo-Mart, the mum or dad corporate of X-S Tech, the evil company within the extinct Alien Come across that was once changed via Sew’s Nice Break out. It’ll be fascinating to listen to how Imagineering reacquired Tom Morrow 2.0 from Robo-Mart. Possibly a robotic change by the use of Purchase ‘n Massive?
My wager is that that is just a YouTube collection and no longer an in-park presence as ahead of, however it might be implausible if Tom Morrow 2.0 additionally discovered his technique to CommuniCore Corridor. Walt Disney Global didn’t announce any meals cubicles or programming for CommuniCore Corridor, however it seems that I’m the one person who thinks it is a probably large deal. I don’t in fact be expecting a Tom Morrow 2.0 takeover, however anything else to place lipstick on CommuniCore Corridor could be very welcome.
