More characters were revealed for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort. We still don’t have an opening date for this attraction, which will take the place of Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland Park.

Test Track at EPCOT is going to be closed for reimagining, and therefore will be closed beginning June 17, 2024. Not much additional information has been shared yet. However, we have learned that inspiration for the update will come from the original World of Motion attraction from the earlier days of EPCOT.

Disneyland After Dark: Pride Nite will return to Disneyland Resort for the second year in a row. This is a separately ticketed, after hours event that will take place on June 18 and 20, 2024. Guests can expect themed entertainment, food and experiences during the event.
