Disney’s Animal Kingdom · Expedition Everest
Disney is bringing the massive Yeti Audio-Animatronic back to life inside Expedition Everest. Hidden within the nearly 200-foot Forbidden Mountain, the legendary guardian will once again become a moving part of the high-speed Himalayan adventure.
From the torn tracks to the trailside museum filled with sightings and artifacts, the attraction’s mystery has always led to this unforgettable encounter—and now the star of the mountain is being restored to motion.

Magic Kingdom · Returning late spring 2027
Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress is moving into a new era while preserving its optimism, practical effects and iconic Sherman Brothers song.

The family watches the historic 1969 moon landing, celebrating innovation and possibility.
On Halloween 1985, Sarah takes center stage while John hands out candy and new gadgets transform family life.
It’s New Year’s Eve 1999, and a new invention called the Internet is bringing everyone closer together.
A helpful robot, space travel and an out-of-this-world home imagine tomorrow through Walt’s optimistic lens.
A new opening scene will feature a Walt Disney Audio-Animatronic inspired by the 1964 television special Disneyland Goes to the World’s Fair, surrounded by carefully recreated props including a prototype Tiki bird and the Tower of the Four Winds model.
