Theme park and attraction news, rumors and videos.
Theme park fans all over the world are mourning the closure of their favorite parks during this unprecedented time — but that doesn’t mean we need to stop dreaming about the upcoming attractions we’re excited to experience.
The Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) in Seattle, Wash. has announced that this October, it will welcome “Heroes and Villains: The Art of the Disney Costume” in partnership with the Walt Disney Archives.
With Disney+ now testing in the Netherlands ahead of its Nov. 12 launch date, we have a list of what is likely every Disney film and television series that will be available on the streaming service starting on day one.
The newest Disney On Ice show, Road Trip Adventures, officially begins its tour September 6 at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. This new show will feature characters from Toy Story 4, the live action versions of Aladdin and The Lion King, Moana, Frozen and for the first time ever, Mary Poppins Returns!
Disney On Ice presents Road Trip Adventures also offers never before done acts and guest moments. Four aerial artists will take to the sky in death-defying acts hanging over the ice. Guests will also be taken on the ice in the Magic Mobile as it is driven by Mickey Mouse and friends. By the end of the show there will have been more guests on the ice than performers.
Premiering in Orlando on Friday, September 6, 2019, the 2-year, 60-city tour includes stops at major arenas in Miami, Atlanta, Philadelphia and New York City in 2019, followed by Boston, Chicago and Dallas in 2020.
Through magical storytelling and shared live experiences, families and friends will journey together alongside their show tour guides as their memories are captured to form a scrapbook of adventures on video screens integrated into the set. My person review is that this scrapbook idea is a genius way to allow the tech teams to setup the next act without having dead periods in the show. Each new story seamlessly came out with the use of the moving screens that are their own version of a curtain. For a two hour show the action never seemed to stop.
Tickets are available now at Disney On Ice! Check out a previous episode of Attractions The Show to see how these performers train for six weeks to get into shape for a two hour ice performance.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is currently costarring as Jack in “Mary Poppins Returns”, the holiday family musical from Walt Disney Pictures. But the Tony-winning composer’s latest role is far from Miranda’s first encounter with the Mouse. During a recent press event in Miami on the day of Mary Poppins Returns‘s release, our reporter participated in a roundtable discussion where Lin-Manuel Miranda shared his thoughts about a number of other Disney-related movies, including “Moana”, “The Little Mermaid”, and “Guardians of the Galaxy”.
“Mary Poppins” is renowned for its iconic and award-winning soundtrack, written by Disney Legends Richard and Robert Sherman. The brothers pushed their limits, inventing words and tongue twisters to bring the story to life.
Decades later, Walt Disney Studios is tasked with concocting a follow-up soundtrack for the sequel “Mary Poppins Returns” – and it exceeds all expectations.
There’s a lot of intrigue surrounding the upcoming Disney live-action sequel “Mary Poppins Returns,” including veteran actor Dick Van Dyke. In the original film, Van Dyke portrays Bert, a jack of all trades, from street artist to chimney sweep.
This go-around, he’s reprising a much smaller character – and it’s making people cry.
