New Magical Experiences at Walt Disney World

February 28, 2017 By Ashley 31 Comments

At Disney Social Media Moms Celebration we were treated to special looks at some really awesome stuff happening or coming soon to Disney World. You do not want to miss these new magical experiences at Walt Disney World! Some of them have already opened and others are coming this year. Either way you need to plan a trip to see them all for yourself!

New Magical Experiences at Walt Disney World

Magic Kingdom

Wishes will be having it's last show May 11th. Debuting May 12th is the all new nighttime show, Happily Ever After, the most amazing fireworks show in the history of Magic Kingdom! The projections, lasers, lights, fireworks, and music all come together to showcase the heart, humor and heroism of many of our favorite Disney movies. 

New Magical Experiences at Walt Disney World

Be on the lookout for:

  • Moana
  • Brave
  • Zootopia
  • Big Hero 6 
  • Princess and the Frog 
  • The Lion King <— eek!!! My favorite ๐Ÿ˜‰
  • Zootopia
  • and so many more!

Hollywood Studios

PizzeRizzo is open for business and the food is tasty. This new Quick Service restaurant serves up food like pizza, meatball subs, and antipasto salad. I really enjoyed the theming of the restaurant. It definitely reminded me of some of the fun spots in New York City I found on my last trip. 

This Spring stop by the Star Wars Launch Bay to meet some of your favorites from the Light and Dark Sides including BB-8! Keep your eyes on the Disney Parks Blog for his official debut date!

Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom has transformed into a day and nighttime adventure! The stunning Rivers of Light is officially open. Grab your FP+ and dining packages for this show today!

Rivers of Light Show

And starting May 27th, Pandora the World of Avatar will welcoming guests to it's mystical world! I can't wait to ride the Na'vi River Journey. There is just something about boat rides and Disney.

Epcot

Whether you are visiting during a festival or just popping over to walk the World Showcase there is always something to try and experience in Epcot. If you haven't been on the all new Soarin' Around the World you have to make it a must do! I teared up, it is absolutely beautiful. With the updated projections, new places to explore, and ending with fireworks at Epcot, Soarin' Around the World is fun for the whole family. 

Pro Tip: It is worth the wait to be row 1 in the center. Trust me!

Disney Springs

All new shops, dining experiences, and entertainment is waiting for you at Disney Springs. You can see some of the fun we had over there: 5 Reasons to Visit Disney Springs!

Typhoon Lagoon

Another Spring 2017 debut is the all new Miss Adventure Falls, a family-style raft ride. This water ride has a time of two minutes making it the longest one at both Disney Water Parks! 

There is always something new and magical to experience at Walt Disney World. Whether you have been there once or 100 times, no two trips are alike!

What are you most excited for at Disney World?

New Magical Experiences at Walt Disney World

I was invited to the 2017 Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. I paid a conference fee to attend and received discounted & complimentary items from Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, and their sponsors. We were not asked to write about our experiences at the conference. All opinions are my own.

    Is PizzeRizzo new? I remember getting pizza there a few year ago. Maybe the renamed/remodeled?

      It’s newly remodeled but yes it was a pizza place before. It was Pizza Planet and was Buzz Lightyear/Toy Story themed. So now it is under new management ๐Ÿ˜‰

    So much fun!!! I haven’t been to Disney World in years but Soarin’ is one of our favorite rides at Disneyland. We also love the fireworks. They usually make me cry. It is awesome when they have the fake snow at the end of the fireworks at Christmas.

    We went to Disney 3 years ago and I can’t wait to go back. I am hoping Rivers of Light sticks around for a very long time so that I have the chance to see it.
