EVERYTHING Disney Announced for Its International Parks!

Well, all we can say is “wow!” The Disney Parks presentation at D23 Expo certainly did not disappoint, and we’re still reeling from all the announcements.

We now have an opening timeline for TRON Lightcycle Run and Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana in Disney World. Plus, there was a TON of news about Disneyland, too. But that’s not all — because Disney’s international parks are also getting some new attractions and lands!

So here is EVERYTHING Disney announced for its international parks.

Shanghai Disney Resort

Back in 2019, Shanghai Disney Resort announced a Zootopia-themed expansion. Disney offered a few new details about that land, which will be the first Zootopia-themed area in any Disney Resort. According to Disney, “at Zootopia Central Station, guests will find animals going about their daily lives.”

Guests will also meet a special character at the Zootopia Police Department, which will be the entrance into the new land. An audio-animatronic Clawhauser will be greeting guests there!
