Some beloved Walt Disney World attractions are getting exciting updates.

During the “Horizons: A Carousel of Progress” showcase at D23, Walt Disney Imagineering revealed new developments coming to fan-favorite experiences at EPCOT and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.

From a reimagining of one of EPCOT’s most iconic attractions to the return of beloved characters and the revival of an unforgettable Audio-Animatronic figure, there is plenty for Disney fans to look forward to.

Spaceship Earth Is Getting Reimagined

One of EPCOT’s most recognizable attractions is preparing for its next evolution.

For the first time in nearly two decades, Spaceship Earth will receive updates that expand the attraction’s story beyond human communication to explore the broader theme of human connection.

Disney says the reimagining will retain the optimism and sense of wonder that have defined Spaceship Earth for generations while introducing new magic throughout the journey.

Additional details about the changes and what guests can expect from the updated experience have not yet been revealed.

Dreamfinder and Figment Are Returning to EPCOT

Another major announcement is bringing together two beloved characters from EPCOT history.

Dreamfinder and Figment will reunite for a new journey into imagination.

Dreamfinder originally appeared alongside Figment in the original attraction at EPCOT’s Imagination pavilion, becoming an important part of the park’s history and a longtime favorite among Disney fans.

Now, the whimsical dream-chaser will return alongside everyone’s favorite purple dragon for an entirely new adventure.

Disney has not yet revealed additional details about the experience, but the announcement marks the return of the iconic duo to EPCOT.

The Yeti Is Coming Back to Life at Expedition Everest

Over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, another legendary character is preparing for a major comeback.

Deep inside Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain, the attraction’s iconic Yeti Audio-Animatronic figure will come back to life.

The massive Yeti has long been one of the most recognizable elements of Expedition Everest, lurking deep within the Forbidden Mountain as guests race through the Himalayas.

Disney has now confirmed that the Audio-Animatronic will once again come to life as part of the attraction experience.

New Chapters for Walt Disney World Favorites

These announcements bring exciting new chapters to attractions that have become an important part of Walt Disney World history.

From a new exploration of human connection aboard Spaceship Earth and the reunion of Dreamfinder and Figment, to the return of the legendary Yeti at Expedition Everest, Disney Imagineering is bringing new life to several experiences guests already know and love.

Disney has not announced specific timelines for these updates in this announcement, so more information is expected in the future.
