Other changes are afoot in Epcot’s World
Showcase, the area around a lagoon that shows
off pavilions from almost a dozen nations.
Next year, the French pavilion is adding a
new attraction based on the animated film
“Ratatouille,” as well as a new French restaurant.
The French pavilion also will host a sing-along
with songs from the film, “Beauty and the Beast”
starting next January.
Both the Canada and China pavilions are getting
new movies showcasing their countries, and
Disney officials said a new nighttime extravaganza
will offer various interpretations of classic Disney
songs from people all over the world.
In other parts of Epcot, a “Guardians of the
Galaxy” ride is planned, as well as a new
restaurant at the Mission: Space pavilion.
Elsewhere in Disney’s “park-dom,” Avenger
Campus” areas are planned for Disney California
Adventure and Disneyland Paris, based on “The
Avengers” movie franchise. Both campuses will
have Spider-Man attractions. The California park
will have an Avengers Headquarters which will
become the entrance to a ride that features the
Avengers on a mission in Wakanda, the fictional
land from the film “Black Panther.”
Disney is bringing online three new cruise ships,
including Disney Wish, upon which the image
of Rapunzel will grace the stern when it starts
sailing in 2021.
Disney also is building a “Zootopia”-themed land
at Shanghai Disney Resort.
Details on the new attractions were made just
days before the new “Star Wars” land is opening
at Walt Disney World on Thursday. An identical
land opened at Disneyland in California at the
start of the summer.
