Whether you visit Disney World or Disneyland on a yearly basis, go every few years or are planning your very first visit, there is always something new to see. And 2026 is no exception.
For example, most of the major construction you might have seen around Disney World lately is part of longer-term projects, like the upcoming "Cars"-themed land and a new land themed to Disney and Pixar's "Monsters, Inc." being built at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Out at Disneyland, an expansion of Avengers Campus, the coming addition of an Avatar Land and a "Coco"-themed attraction are just a few projects to look forward to. These efforts will bring some headliner additions to the parks in the coming years beyond 2026.
However, there are still several exciting changes and additions planned for the Disney parks in 2026. Expect ride refurbishments and rethemes, all-new meet-and-greets and new themed after-hours parties. And, if you want brand-new Disney rides (and a whole brand-new ship!), you'll want to grab your passport, as you can find those beyond the U.S. borders.
