Thank the Phoenicians! The current color scheme is worse than the birthday cake.

Here's the Disney Parks Blog post about the Villains land inspiration. I'm pretty excited about the Art Nouveau inspiration.

Dinoland goes extinct on Feb 2, 2026.

Feb 1st last day to ride Dinosaur, visit Restaurantosaurus, or see Donald, Daisy, Chip and Dale in Dinoland.

Muppets almost definitely won’t be ready. It’s a scheduled closure AND reopening in 2026, meaning a light reworking but it’s still a tight timeframe. MAYBE it’s still open as Aerosmith, but I’d lean towards thinking no (and I’d like for it to be open the following month for selfish reasons).

Anyone’s guess about the other two. I’ll guess Thunder Mountain reopens by then, Dino closes.

Well at least we have confirmation on Dino now. Still no word on Thunder Mountain or Muppets/RnRC.

Again, I ask that they keep RnRC open through April!

Some news: Tron is getting a red overlay with NIN soundtrack for a limited time, starting Sept 15.

Selfishly I'll need them to offer this when I'm there in April.

I'd like it to last at least through February, but April is good too

Has there been any chatter when it will end? I'll be there mid-November so I'm hoping longer that a couple months...

None. They made the initial announcement and no details since.

Thanks. That is what I thought, and I'll just cross my fingers that they keep it around for awhile

Big news so far is that World of Frozen is opening in Paris next Spring.

I'm pretty excited about this. We are going back to DLP in May/June next year and figured it wouldn't be open since everything just said "2026". We were there 2 years ago and it was just a dirt pile behind the walls.

We just cancelled our January sailing a month ago. Should have kept it a little longer and gotten 50% off, lol

New Tron overlay is live today, new soundtrack, new lighting, AND new ride commentary/story (no Trent singing). Looks good!

It's a one-time thing, it sounds like? I hope it does well and we see more Muppets stuff!
