Bruce Vaughn, Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Imagineering, has announced plans for the most expansive project in the park’s history during the recent Destination D23 event.
The Magic Kingdom, home to iconic attractions like Cinderella’s Castle, Space Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain, has delighted millions of visitors since it first opened its doors in 1971. This new expansion promises to elevate the enchantment to a whole new level.

Given the imaginative and immersive experiences Disney is known for, one can only imagine what magical delights this expansion will offer.
From thrilling new rides to innovative shows, and potentially game-changing dining experiences, this expansion is expected to redefine the Magic Kingdom experience. As always, Disney is sure to infuse every inch with their signature storytelling and attention to detail.
