I think our last trip was about 3 years ago. Is there a way to find out what new attractions and rides have opened at each park since then? I'm trying to figure my itinerary and fastpasses for a January 2016 trip and would like to focus on things we haven't yet seen. We might even do a parade or fireworks this time, something we've never really "scheduled in", just happened to experience by coincidence sometimes.
 
We are going September 2016 and our last trip was 2010 so I was trying to think of all the things that will be new to me next trip (in all Orlando parks).

Seven Dwarves train
Under the Sea ride (although I did ride it in Cali in 2012)
Enchanted Tales
Be Our Guest
Festival of Fantasy parade
Skippers Canteen
New Test Track
Soarin' over the World (coming 2016)
New Frozen Ride (coming 2016)
Rivers of Light (coming 2016)
Harambe Marketplace
Night safari (coming 2016)
Starbucks
Disney Springs (inc Boathouse, Morimoto, Splitsville & more)
Star Wars launch bay (Dec 2015)
Maybe Season of the Force fireworks (I am going late Sept so may be over by then)

Diagon Alley
Escape from Gringotts
Hogwarts Express
Transformers (although I did ride it in Cali in 2012)
Minion Mayhem
Universal Cinematic Spectacular
Re-done Hulk coaster (late 2016)
Skull Island: Reign of Kong (coming 2016)

Mako (Seaworld new coaster in 2016)
Antartica ride

Cheetah Chase (Busch)
Cobra's Curse (coming 2016)


Main thing I will miss is the drawing class at DHS and I'm not sure how good new Test Track will be.

Of course MagicBands and FP+ will be new to me as well.

Please note that I made that list when discussing it on another forum and everything I marked as coming 2016 won't be open for you in January.
 
Epcot last 3 years . . . dunno, was Captain EO there the last time you visited?
New restrooms at the American pavilion
Pizza restaurant at the back of the Italy pavilion
The lumberjack show in Canada . . .. Oh, wait, they're done hahaha
New musical group in the UK

Animal Kingdom, they moved Festival of the Lion King, and closed Camp Minnie Mickey, don't think much else has happened there

Hollywood Studios . . I don't think there are any new attractions, but they have closed / removed the big sorcerers hat, Backstage Tour, American Idol, the 3:00 parade, I'm sure I've missed a couple of things.

Magic Kingdom, they have added Ariels undersea adventure, and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, new 3:00 parade, Be Our Guest restaurant. I guess that is about it.
