Looking back, 2024 was the first year since the pandemic that a visit to Walt Disney World felt largely like it did before 2020. For most visitors, theme park reservations became a thing of the past. We finally saw the return of all-day park-hopping, and even Disney Dining plans came back. It also marked the completion of Epcot's multiyear transformation and the opening of Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom.

Now that we turn the page forward to 2025, it's time to see what the new year will bring to Walt Disney World.
The good news: There are a handful of new rides, attractions and experiences opening in the next 12 months.

Based on the concept art and the few details Disney has already shared, the Blue Fairy from "Pinocchio" will use the "magic of starlight" to illuminate the parade floats and character costumes as they travel through the park.
Something tasty is washing ashore in Magic Kingdom in late 2025 when a new Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge opens in Adventureland. The lounge will be near the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction and will incorporate the characters, lore and swashbuckling merriment associated with the ride.
Disney said there may be "more than a few mysterious and magical surprises in store;" this could mean anything from character appearances to interactive

I grew up going to Disney World at least once a year. Now, I bring my kids, and it feels like all the magic is gone.
