If you have been reading along here at MickeyBlog, you know that this is an exciting time in Walt Disney World history.
Over the next several years, we will see new lands open across The Most Magical Place on Earth, including Mostropolis in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Piston Peak and Disney Villains land in Magic Kingdom, and Tropical Americas at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Needless to say, there is a TON to look forward to.
To give fans a preview of the numerous Walt Disney World projects currently underway, Disney has updated the Walt Disney Imagineering Presents displays located inside Walt Disney Presents at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

When touring the Walt Disney Presents gallery, guests can now explore displays that preview all of the projects currently underway at Walt Disney World.
Monstropolis
The first display previews the Monstropolis land coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
“After years spent scaring us, monsters are finally welcoming humans into Monstropolis with an all new themed land inspired by the beloved Monsters, Inc. film franchise. Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the land will feature shopping, dining, and the first-ever suspended coaster in a Disney park,” a plaque explains.
“As in the film, guests will first be hoisted into the air — via a unique vertical-lift system — before zooming off on a thrilling ride through the iconic Door Vault.”
The new display features maquettes of Mike and Sully.
There is also a collection of concept art that has already been released.
Tropical Americas
The second new display showcases Tropical Americas, which is coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
“A vibrant new land is coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, transporting guests into the lush rainforests and exciting stories of the Tropical Americas. Extensive Imagineering research has produced a sprawling land, rich with detail and authenticity,” the display reads.
“It will feature a central fountain, a quick-service restaurant, a hand-carved carousel and two signature attractions — the first-ever Encanto-themed ride-through experience and a new Indiana Jones adventure unlike any other in the world.”
The Tropical Americas section of the display features a full model of the land.
Here is a look at the land’s entrance and critter carousel.
We can also see the upcoming Encanto attraction.
Finally, we have Indiana Jones, which is replacing DINOSAUR.
Here is another look at the model.
The land looks AMAZING.
Piston Peak
Last, but certainly not least, we have Piston Peak.
“Get those all-terrain tires ready, because Piston Peak National Park is coming to Magic Kingdom. Inspired by the Disney and Pixar Cars universe, this reimagined area of Frontierland will invite guests to explore the natural wonders of the American “wheelderness,” the description reads.
“In addition to stunning views and iconic characters, the area will feature two all-new original attractions — a thrilling rally race around the park and a second experience that will be fun for the whole family.”
The new Cars land display features concept art and sketches.
There are also maquettes of Lightning McQueen and Mater.
