Overview
- Memorial Day weekend saw a concentrated rollout of new offerings including Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets and Bluey’s Wild World, producing long lines and high guest interest across multiple parks.
- Bluey’s Wild World opened May 26 with a virtual queue but will operate with a standard standby line starting June 2 after demand dropped in the days following the debut.
- Disney announced Carousel of Progress will close July 6 for its largest overhaul since 1975, with a Walt Audio‑Animatronic added and a planned reopening in 2027.
- Walt Disney Imagineering filed permits naming Icarus Exhibits for set installations at Alien Swirling Saucers and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and Disney released the Magic of Disney Animation layout, signaling more near‑term show and prop work.
- Large-scale park and resort projects remain active—permanent removals and heavy refurbishments affect Frontierland, DinoLand U.S.A., Muppets Courtyard, hotels, and guest circulation, and reports say Disney Springs food trucks may leave in mid‑June though Disney has not confirmed that move.
