The exciting thing about a vacation to Walt Disney World or Disneyland is that no two visits are ever the same and there’s always something new to explore. And now the mouse is sweetening the deal with new attractions, discounts, and more.
At Walt Disney World, park goers can look forward to brand new attractions, including the newly-reimagined Test Track presented by General Motors and Magic Kingdom’s The Beak & Barrel. Over in Southern California, Disneyland is in the midst of its resort-wide 70th celebration, which includes the new attraction “Walt Disney—A Magical Life” honoring the legacy of its founder.
Here’s everything you need to know to plan your next trip.

“You bet we’ll have rock as we roll across Hollywood on a wild ride with the Electric Mayhem—complete with backstage chaos, high-speed thrills, that signature Muppet humor… and an all-new Muppet Audio-Animatronics figure,” Disney shared in a release.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s iconic Tree of Life Theater will welcome a new production this fall when “Zootopia: Better Zoogether!” opens Nov. 7. Changes are also abound for fan-favorite attraction Frozen Ever After at EPCOT.
