Disney World Lines Up Major 2027 Park Openings, Timing Left Vague

Overview

• Disney has confirmed three headline projects for 2027: Tropical Americas at Animal Kingdom, a phased Monstropolis at Hollywood Studios, and a major refresh of Carousel of Progress at Magic Kingdom.
• Tropical Americas will replace DinoLand U.S.A. with Pueblo Esperanza and three attractions named El Carrusel de los Animalitos, Antonio’s Fiesta de Encanto, and Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent.
• Monstropolis is planned to open in stages in 2027, with themed dining, retail, a theater show and club arriving before the land’s signature door‑vault roller coaster.
• The Carousel of Progress is due back in spring 2027 with new scenes, new voice roles for Mother and Father and an Audio‑Animatronic Walt Disney in the opening scene.
• Disney has only committed to the calendar year for these projects, so visitors must weigh waiting to see new attractions against higher opening‑period crowds, extra travel costs, and existing seasonal experiences.
