This summer and beyond, there are more ways than ever to create magical moments and treasured memories with loved ones during a visit to Walt Disney World Resort. From new attractions to limited-time entertainment, there’s something for everyone at “The Most Magical Place On Earth.”
“Drop on in” to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom Park
Opening June 28 at Magic Kingdom Park, guests are invited to “drop on in” to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, a new family thrill ride featuring the joy, music and magic of the Walt Disney Animation Studios film “The Princess and the Frog.” Guests will take a trip down the bayou in this exciting flume-drop water ride for a glimpse of life after Tiana and Naveen’s happily ever after. Now successful business owners, the couple is looking to bring their community together for a Mardi Gras celebration.
It’s a joyful, vibrant adventure as guests join Princess Tiana and Louis in a search for a band to create the perfect neighborhood soiree. Guests of all ages will be delighted by mesmerizing scenery and dozens of innovative Audio-Animatronics figures of their favorite characters including Tiana, Louis, Mama Odie and more. The attraction includes the debut of 17 new musical critters and a brand-new song, “Special Spice,” featuring the talents of PJ Morton, Terence Blanchard and Anika Noni Rose.
Celebrating the EPCOT Transformation Finale
Beginning June 10, guests can enjoy all new areas of EPCOT as the multi-year transformation of the park comes to a culmination. The debut of CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza transforms the guest experience and opens up the magic of possibilities.

This summer, guests can dance and sing along to the música of the Disney Animation Studios film “Encanto.” “¡Celebración Encanto!” is a limited-time show that celebrates culture, magic and family, or as the Family Madrigal would say, “cultura, magia y familia.” This is the first show to debut on the newly completed CommuniCore Plaza Stage. It’s full of lively music, laughter and dancing during a sing-along that’s sure to get the whole familia on their feet. Guests may even see Mirabel and Bruno joining in the fun.
Right next to CommuniCore Plaza Stage, a new quick-service food-and-beverage destination called “Festival Favorites” will also open June 10. Here, guests can find a rotating menu of some of the most popular items from the four seasonal EPCOT festivals. At launch, guests will find dishes inspired by Disney Animations’ “Encanto.”
Inside CommuniCore Hall, guests can say hello to Mickey Mouse and his pals in an all-new character greeting location called Mickey & Friends. This new space features colorful artwork and a mural inspired by EPCOT past and present. Created by Walt
