Every year around the holidays, the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland is transformed into Halloween Town from the Nightmare Before Christmas! This got me thinking about what limited time event themes could be brought to Orlando to break up the monotony of some rides for new and returning guests! It will make visiting at different times of the year a little more special.
The first thing that jumps out which would be an easier change over is switching the Mexican Pavilion Three Caballeros river ride to a Coco Themed Attraction! Instead of seeing Donald and friends croon, we can enjoy the story of Miguel traveling through the land of the dead with Ernesto De La Cruz and Hector crooning along the way. Definitely a fun way to remember him!
Animal Kingdom could do a Spring change over from the It’s Tough To Be A Bug attraction to UP! As there is a screen and animal attractions, take a trip with Carl and Russell to Paradise Falls! Who wouldn’t want to see Kevin running through the auditorium? Maybe Doug will finally catch that squirrel. And let’s be honest, who really likes that attraction as it is, anyway.
Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom has some great spots for dance parties in the midst of some of their rides! Why not bring in many a millennial’s favorite performing artist Powerline from A Goofy Movie for a true summer concert where their dance party is normally held! If nothing else, you could put Lester’s Possum Park where the Country Bear Jamboree is!
And last but not least, Hollywood Studios. While they’ve had many fantastic updates with Mickey’s Runaway Railroad and Star Wars land, there’s no reason we can’t mix things up every now and again. The Frozen Sing A Long (while being incredibly popular) could have a winter break to trek over to another park for the Christmas party. What would they put on that giant stage? How about using the new relationship with Lin Manuel Miranda and bring an Encanto short musical experience with parts of everyone’s favorite songs!
Everyone likes a little change now and again and coming up with some different season options makes Disney not a once a year trip, but a multi season trip.
