Last night, we had the chance to preview the “Wonderful World of Dreams” pavilion for Disney Parks, Experiences and Products at the D23 Expo. Let’s take a tour through the pavilion and see all the exciting new reveals!
What’s Happening:
- We’ll start off with a look at a variety of new ride vehicles revealed for new attractions coming to Disney Parks across the globe.
- First up, the unique vehicle designed for the Zootopia attraction coming to Shanghai Disneyland.
- The Frozen boat ride coming to the Fantasy Springs expansion at Tokyo DisneySea will feature familiar Arendelle motifs.
- But that’s not the only boat ride for Fantasy Springs, as there will also be one themed to Tangled.
- The Peter Pan attraction for the area has a more unique ride vehicle, looking like the back of Captain Hook’s ship, the Jolly Roger.
- Finally for Fantasy Springs, there will be a Tinker Bell attraction, which looks to be a dark ride of some sort.
- Some new concept art for the area.
- Hong Kong Disneyland is also getting a Frozen-themed area, called Arendelle: The World of Frozen, complete with two new attractions.

- The other attraction will be the roller coaster Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs.
