In case you missed the big Disney Parks and Resorts Sneak Peak Panel at D23 Expo 2019, here is a recap of the day’s events.

Bob Chapek was first on stage to talk about the new Skyliner and was pumping up Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge to finally show some never before seen footage to Star Wars Rise of the Resistance and let us be the first to tell you that IT LOOKS AMAZING! There was blaster fire and holograms. He was really letting the anticipation build up and wasn’t giving up any big announcement right away.

There will be a new parade coming to Disneyland this spring called “Magic Happens” with floats celebrating films like Moana, Coco, Sleeping Beauty and more!

Next up, we got to see more about the highly anticipated Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. Chapek announced the opening in Walt Disney World in 2020 and in Disneyland 2022.

A video about Disneyland and Disneyland Paris’s Avenger Campus was shown and looked exciting. Too bad Universal has the rights to Marvel Theme Park Attractions east of the Mississippi because a land like would be amazing at Walt Disney World!

The video that was played looked like a new Soarin’ ride, it gave sneak peaks into the new Ratatouille ride, showed the new fireworks show and the new Moana attraction. We know Spaceship Earth is going to be gutted and receive a complete overhaul but we want some new news! This is the biggest transformation of any park Disney has ever accomplished. Now we are about to find out what all these photos that have been floating around mean.

Future world will be transformed into 3 new neighborhoods:

World Nature World Discovery World Celebration

Spaceship Earth’s will focus on something that binds all of humanity and storytelling, adding new scenes and keeping some of our favorites.

At the exit to Spaceship Earth, you’ll come to a new re-imagined exit and an overlook called Dreamer’s Point.

Many of the changes coming to Epcot will be ready for the 50th Anniversary. Generally Magic Kingdom Parks gets all the fun, but this time all 4 parks will get to be part of the fun too. New digital offering called Disney Genie. It provides customized itinerary based on your interests. It will send you real time updates and recommendations it thinks you will love. Genie will also take care of your dining reservations. This app is debuting in late 2020.
