As Disney prepares to bring its D23 fan event to Brazil for the first time this November, Walt Disney World fans are awaiting potential updates on some of the most anticipated projects in the Disney parks universe that were announced during the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in California earlier this year.

D23 Brazil: What We Know

Taking place on November 8-10, 2024, at the Transamerica Expo Center in São Paulo, D23 Brazil will offer fans a schedule of panels, exhibits, and sneak peeks into upcoming Disney projects. The event will be divided into two stages: Arena D23 and the Disney Moments by Claro Stage, where presentations will range from film previews to interactive performances.

D23 has said to expect "Exclusive previews of films, series, games and shows and a sneak peek of what's to come, as well as the latest on new and highly anticipated projects in development around the world for Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line."

A Second Look at  D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event Announcements

At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in California earlier this year, Disney laid out an ambitious roadmap for the future of its parks, resorts, and cruise line. Given the scope of these announcements, it's possible that D23 Brazil will shed light on more specific details, including models, new concept art, and timelines.

Among the key announcements for Walt Disney World were:

Monsters, Inc. Land at Hollywood Studios

Construction Begins in 2025
Disney's Hollywood Studios will soon welcome a new land based on Pixar's Monsters, Inc.. The new attraction will allow guests to step inside the world of Monstropolis and explore the Monsters, Inc. factory in Disney's first suspended coaster, with construction scheduled to begin in 2025. The big question remains - where will it be located? Muppets Courtyard or Animation Courtyard.



Cars at Magic Kingdom

Construction Begins in 2025
Pixar's Cars franchise is making its way to Magic Kingdom with two new attractions planned for the park. Set to begin construction in 2025, this new area will offer family-friendly experiences featuring fan-favorite characters from the Cars movies. One attraction will invite you on a thrilling rally race through the mountains. Take on wild terrain as you race across the landscape climbing mountain trails, dodging geysers and — Mater’s favorite — splashing through mudholes. The second attraction will be geared towards smaller racers and the whole family.

Villains Land at Magic Kingdom

Construction Soon
Magic Kingdom will also be getting a darker twist with the introduction of a Villains-themed land. This new area, which will highlight the more sinister side of Disney fairytales, is set to begin construction soon.

Tropical Americas at Animal Kingdom

Coming to Life in 2027
Animal Kingdom will be expanding with a new land called Tropical Americas. This area will include attractions inspired by Indiana Jones and Encanto, allowing guests to explore the magical world of the Madrigal family and the adventures of the iconic archeologist.





New Disney Starlight Nighttime Parade at Magic Kingdom

Arriving on Main Street, U.S.A. in 2025
Magic Kingdom will debut a new nighttime parade, Disney Starlight, in 2025. This parade will bring new energy to Main Street, U.S.A.


Test Track Reimagined at EPCOT

Opening in 2025
EPCOT’s Test Track will undergo a major reimagining, set to debut in 2025. The new version of the attraction will explore the past, present, and future of automotive innovation.

New Adventures in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge

Jump to Lightspeed in 2026
Mandalorian fans will have a new reason to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in 2026. A new adventure featuring Mando and Grogu will be added to Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run, in celebration of the upcoming film, The Mandalorian and Grogu.

New Lounges Coming to Disney World

Two new themed lounges are set to open at Disney World in 2025, inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean and Spaceship Earth

People saying Disney should have had a response ready for Epic? What response? A new land? Yeah, Tropical Americas would definitely pull headlines away from an entirely new park opening. Nothing Disney could have done would have stolen thunder from what Universal is doing with Epic, so let them have their moment and prepare for once it isn't brand new anymore.

Unless Iger or D'Amaro know Portuguese I don't think they'll be presenting here.

Why? "We've been aware of Universal's plans for a new park for more than a decade. And we have a sophisticated approach to analyzing the needs of all of our businesses and strategically deploying capital." - Bob Iger All signs point to Disney believing Epic will be nothing more than a pebble thrown into what they think is their Orlando pool.

Who will be presenting the park panel stuff? Will Iger and/or D'amaro be in attendance? Disney need some front page news to take some of the narrative away from Universal.

Really think they decided on AC for Monsters a month ago and have just been holding out to have a big PR "The Muppets are saved" type push off of this event.

HauntedPirate7 days ago

The new Disneyland Park Brazil they are going to announce, obviously! 🤪

At the very least: Where is Monsters' Coaster going? Where are the DL announced rides going? (Coco, Avengers E-Ticket, Pandora)

From a business perspective, it’s pretty smart to do what Disney is doing.

More information on already announced projects wouldn't bother me.
