Are you planning a future Disney Vacation? Are you thinking about visiting Disney World and/or Disneyland. If you are like me, I am blessed to go at least once and sometimes multiple times a year. My family has a goal to go each year. Our favorite question that we ask ourselves is, “What is new at Disney Parks?”
Every Disney trip that we have been on, we always explore what is NEW and things we have never seen before. I don’t know of one day in the park where I didn’t have a NEW experience. The innovation and creativity that Walt had when he first created Disneyland is still there! This year our family is planning on going to Disneyland for the first time. I have been multiple times, but my young girls and husband have yet to see what Disneyland is about. We LOVE Disney World and I hope to plan a trip there as well!
So what is new at Disney Parks? Check out our quick list and let me know what you feel like I should add!
What is new at Disney Parks List 2017
1. Pandora: At WDW, there is a new land called Pandora that is based on the movie Avatar! You will experience mystery, rainforests, and more! There are two new adventures you will be able to explore!
Opening May 27, 2017 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Pandora – The World of Avatar will bring a variety of new experiences to the park, including a family-friendly attraction called Na’vi River Journey and new food & beverage and merchandise locations.

2. Disney Rivers of Light: A new night show at Animal Kingdom!
Rivers of Light is an all-new nighttime show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort. Rich in symbolism and storytelling, the elaborate theatrical production takes guests on a breathtaking emotional journey — a visual mix of water, fire, nature and light all choreographed to an original musical score. Rivers of Light will be performed on select nights. (David Roark, photographer)

Beginning May 12, 2017, Walt Disney World guests can discover the newest, most spectacular fireworks show in the history of Magic Kingdom Park with “Happily Ever After.” The stunning new nighttime extravaganza will feature more lasers, lights and projections than any Magic Kingdom Park show before it.

I wish this had been available before our trip! I missed so many of the new things!

So excited for Stars Wars Launch Bay! Can’t wait to see how Soarin’ turns outs. It was closed last time we were in Disney.

I love that they keep adding things, even more reasons to go again and again. New things to look forward to!

That’s awesome. I live in Miami, so Disney is literally a hop, skip, and jump away. Thanks for sharing these.
