These Three Maps Show What Construction Will Do To Disney World In The Next Two Years
Tons of construction is coming for Disney World in 2025, and it’s time to really break down what we need to expect.
Magic Kingdom
Yes, we know WHAT’S coming — a new Villains Land and Cars-themed Land in Magic Kingdom, Muppets Courtyard is becoming Monsters, Inc. Land in Hollywood Studios, and Tropical Americas aka Pueblo Esperanza is taking over Dinoland U.S.A. in Animal Kingdom — but what will all of this construction actually look like in the parks? Let’s take a look at the maps — they reveal a LOT.
This sounds like loads of construction to begin with, but when you take a look at what areas it’s going to close on the maps, it really becomes quite the big deal. Let’s start over in Animal Kingdom, because this is the only area so far that we have an exact date on when closures and construction will begin.
Dinoland, U.S.A.
TriceraTop Spin, Fossil Fun Games, and Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures will all have their final day of operation on January 12th, 2024, and then they will close to make way for the first round of construction. The rest of Dinoland U.S.A. is expected to close throughout the year, and it’s our assumption that one of the last ones will be the beloved Dinosaur attraction. So what will this closure look like on the map?
This WHOLE area will be closed
Dinoland U.S.A. takes up roughly 1/7 of the park (if you include the entrance and Oasis as its own section, 1/6 of the park if you don’t), and while that may seem like not a big deal, this park doesn’t have many attractions to begin with, and this closure will take out TWO of them. Plus, it’s possible you won’t be able to use the shortcut to get from Discovery Island to the Finding Nemo show to the right of Dinoland, which will be a BIG bummer.

Meanwhile over in Hollywood Studios, this closure shouldn’t shut off any pathways, which is a relief. Muppets Courtyard in Grand Avenue is already set off the “main road,” which means that the entrance to this area should be the only thing closed off, not the whole walkway that takes you from Star Tours into Galaxy’s Edge.
This closure won’t affect walking paths as much
The closure will also mean saying goodbye to Muppet*Vision 3D, as well as TWO restaurants in the park, which isn’t nothing, but at least there are plenty of other shows, restaurants, and attractions to visit in the park. From concept art, it also appears that Monsters, Inc. Land will be expanding backwards, in the current green area unused behind the current area, so we’ll likely see the new land be larger than currently shown.

And Magic Kingdom — oh Magic Kingdom. This park has, arguably, the most going on in 2025, because there are TWO sections of the park that will be under construction. However, construction on Villains Land (marked in black below) is being worked on in a currently unused area of the park behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. While it is (likely) part of the reason the attraction will be closed for basically all of 2025, it will otherwise leave the park alone…unless they close the Walt Disney World Railroad for it, which is a possibility.
Magic Kingdom has a LOT going on
The area marked in red though? Yeah, that’s where the new Cars-themed land is going, and as you can see, it’s going to make a MESS of everything. Getting to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and around Frontierland and Liberty Square in general are likely going to be more difficult with very heavy crowds, and TWO attractions will be going away to make room for it. That’s a total of three, potentially FOUR, Magic Kingdom attractions that will be unavailable for the majority of 2025, and that’s going to be quite the adventure.
