"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new
things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." - Walt Disney
With the New Year fast approaching, let's take a look at the coming attractions at Walt Disney World Resort in 2018.
Toy Story Land
Arguably the most anticipated new attraction of 2018, Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios will transport guests into the world of Buzz and Woody. There will be two new attractions in this 11-acre expansion to the Studios: the Slinky Dog Dash family coaster and the Alien Swirling Saucers. This much needed addition to DHS will hopefully help turn the current four-attraction park into a must-visit park once more.
Up Themed Show
The Wonders of Life show at Disney's Animal Kingdom will be replaced by an
UP themed show that will feature Russell and Dug as they discover species of birds from around the world. I know some folks out there aren't fans of IPs taking over WDW, but honestly, I think this one make a lot of sense and can really help boast the attendance for the show.
Cirque du Soleil
With La Nouba closing at the end of 2017, Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group and the Walt Disney Company are teaming up again to pay tribute to Disney's vast animation history. Daniel Lamarre, President and CEO of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group, said, "We are incredibly inspired by Disney's immerse creative universe. We are convinced that bringing Disney's magic to life on stage will touch audiences and bring them back to their childhood."
Disney Springs Dining
There will be eight new dining options to choose from at Disney Springs in 2018.
The Edison will resemble a 1920's electric company power plant and
will feature live entertainment such as palm readers, DJs, and contortionists.
Terralina Crafted Italian will be overseen by Top Chef Master Tony
Mantuana and will serve authentic Italian meals.
Maria
And Enzo’s will be an Italian restaurant that will be run by the Patina Group, who also operates Via Napoli at Epcot.
Enzo’s
Hideaway was inspired by Florida’s rum running history and will feature Prohibition-era
cocktails in its Tunnel Bar as well Roman dishes.
Pizza
Pointe will be a fast-casual restaurant that will have stuffed pizza bread,
Sicilian-style pizza by the slice, and Italian doughnuts.
Master
Sommelier George Miliotes returns to Walt Disney World after opening California
Grill in 1995 to open
Wine Bar George, which will resemble a winemaker’s estate.
Wolfgang
Puck Bar & Grill will be a laid-back California themed dining experience.
Jaleo is
a Spanish themed restaurant concept from Chef José Andrés.
