Are you ready to be blown away by the exciting new additions coming to the happiest place on earth in 2024? Get your Mickey ears on because Walt Disney World is about to take enchantment to a whole new level. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure It is rumored that this attraction will be splashing down late 2024, possibly in time for the holiday season. Ideally, the attraction would open in the summer to accommodate for the heat and the crowds. Splash Mountain first opened at Magic Kingdom on October 2nd, just one day shy of the park’s 21st anniversary. Perhaps Splash Mountain (Tiana's Version) will open in time for the 53rd anniversary? October is still very warm in Florida, so this date may work well. Either way, everybody is excited for this exciting attraction to open.  Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is a re-vamp of the iconic Splash Mountain.

  2023 welcomed some new attractions, characters, and shows to the Walt Disney World resort. Disney Darling takes a look at some of the best parts of this previous year.  Tron Tron Lightcycle Run opened on April 4th, 2023, adding energy to Tomorrowland. It still remains a popular attraction and requires a virtual queue, meaning that you need to book a reservation on the My Disney Experience app in order to ride. However, this may not be the case for long. Tron will have a regular standby line like the rest of the attractions in early 2024 during After Hours events. This is a great way to test out how smoothly a standby line for Tron will run. If it is a success, Disney may do away with the virtual queue in 2024. Want to learn more about the attractions at Magic Kingdom? Click here .

However, there are plenty of things for kids of all ages to do.  Thrill Rides The thrill rides at EPCOT are roller coasters or flight simulators with intensity.

Still, this is a fun ...
