Every two years in Anaheim, California, The Walt Disney Company unveils the projects it has kept tightly locked behind the doors of Walt Disney Imagineering during the Disney Experiences Showcase at D23: The Ultimate Fan Event.
In 2022, the showcase was dubbed "A Boundless Future" and highlighted some of the big, bold, "blue sky" ideas Disney was working on behind the scenes. Rather than specifics on what would be coming to its parks, Disney provided insight into what guests might eventually experience. At the 2024 showcase, Disney revealed a slew of all-new lands and attractions — some already in active development, while others were still just concept art on a very big screen at Anaheim's Honda Center.
The theme of this year's showcase, held on the evening of August 15, was Horizons: A Carousel of Progress. As the name suggests, much of the evening was spent providing progress updates on the projects that were announced in 2024. The energy in the room was electric, and when singer Sheryl Crow wasn't performing "Real Gone" from "Cars," and actress Glenn Close wasn't on stage dressed as Cruella de Vil, we learned more about what was happening behind Disney's construction walls and what the parks will look like in the next few years.
