2020 Opening Date Targeted for These Walt Disney World Attractions

June 30, 2019 by Jill Leave a Comment

It’s crunch time at Walt Disney World. The 50th Anniversary is bearing down on the family resort and there is still so much left to do. Disney is building major attractions with opening dates slated ahead of the monumental celebration, as you’d expect. Project Gamma (a permanent Future World Festival center and more) is so extensive that chances are scarce it will be completed in time to celebrate. However, Disney might just make it before the buzzer on the more personal 40th Anniversary for Epcot itself in 2022. I know. I can’t believe it has been that long, either. In the meantime, Disney is targeting these highly anticipated projects for a 2020 opening date, so there’s a lot to look forward to next year. 

Keep reading for the latest scoop on what’s coming to Walt Disney world in 2020.

2020 Opening Date Targeted for These Walt Disney World Attractions

That’s what I love about Disney – they change just enough to keep things fresh and interesting. Are you a “Nooooo don’t change any of the things” person or a “Bring it on, let’s see what you’ve got next” person? I am a little bit of both and I think Disney is great at keeping that balance.

Want to know more about Project Gamma? Check out this article.

Tron Late 2020 Possibly

It’s unlikely that it will actually take until the end of 2020 for the Tron Lightcycle Power Run to open. However since we don’t have an opening date announcement, other than the promise that it will be done by 2021, we are giving the project some room to breathe. Tron has been in development for some time and is very strikingly similar to the attraction of the same name in Shanghai Disneyland, where it replaced the traditional Space Mountain. Thus, Magic Kingdom will be the only Disney theme park to have a Space Mountain and a Tron coaster.

Going to Disney and wondering what to pack? Check out Jen’s recommendations here. 

Tron is a much-anticipated attraction and we’re all ready for it. Tron is very popular at Shanghai Disney and I expect it to be popular here as well.

Disney World 2019 Closures: Say Goodbye to These 5 Things

Ratatouille May 2020

Ratatouille does have a target for it’s 2020 opening date.The hope is that it will be done in May. This is a very exciting attraction at Walt Disney Studios in Disneyland Paris. The trackless ride uses 3D technology and practical effects to create the impression that you are a rat, frantically scurrying around a busy kitchen. It is not a game changer, but it is one of Disney’s best rides, so it will be really fun to have it in the France Pavilion at the World Showcase in Epcot.

This is such a cute movie and I’m glad it’s getting some love. Ratatouille gets a lot of exposure during Wine and Dine Half Marathon weekend and I love that we get to enjoy it more fully.

Want a little peek at the construction on this ride? Check this out. 

2019 Disneyland Closures: Indefinite Shutdowns at the Resort

New Epcot Nighttime Spectacular

Epcot is doing away with Illuminations come October 2019. In its place will be a temporary show called… wait for it… wait for iiiiiiiiiiiiittt– Epcot Forever. The actual duration of the interim show is unknown, but we do know that it is only a placeholder until the real new show opens sometime in 2020. The show is expected to feature Fantasmic style entertainment and plenty of innovative use of new technology, including drones.

I get ONE. MORE. CHANCE. to say goodbye to Illuminations on my upcoming trip and I’m not sure if we’re going to work that in to our “impromptu” August Disney trip. Stay tuned. 

But honestly, I think it’s time for Illuminations. There’s always something bittersweet about moving on, but I think Epcot is ready.

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway

Disney promised this would be open already, but it’s gotten bumped back a lot. Disney must be happy with the attraction, because they have decided to build it at Disneyland, too. However, there seems to have been a slight snag that is keeping this ride from opening to the public. This is a very technologically advance attraction to the point where some of the effects on the ride have never been done before. The ride is a madcap misadventure based on the recent Mickey Mouse cartoons, which are just incredible.

At Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disney’s Hollywood Studios guests will burst through movie screen and join Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and pals on a wacky adventure. The first ride-through attraction themed to Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse is planned to open in spring 2020 at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. (Disney)

I’m so excited to see an attraction at Walt Disney World dedicated to Mickey and Minnie. It’s about time, rihgt?

Tomorrowland Speedway

Maybe not the most exciting, but the Indy Speedway will be opening up again in 2020 as well. At least we expect it to. They said Stitch’s Great Escape would reopen, too. It probably will reopen, though. There is nothing to suggest otherwise. The previous rumor that the Speedway would close permanently was only because it was thought Tron would be built in its place, instead of further back in Tomorrowland.

Update: Tomorrowland Speedway quietly reopened in May, ahead of schedule. There was a lot of speculation on whether the temporary closure earlier this year would be permanent, as Disney’s Magic Kingdom got ready for Tron. It appears not.

All About Jill

I'm a digital content creator and essayist who copes with parenting and most other situations with humor and snark. Just so you know, if this weren't the internet, I'd be smiling awkwardly and answering simple questions like "How are you today" with gems like "I like pockets."

I really do love pockets, though.

I spent 26 years in the USAF, which went by really, really fast. I'm very proud of my service but I'm loving my second act even more. Writing gives me the opportunity to flex my creative muscles and that's what makes me happy. Welcome.

The pros from @maidprosanantonio were here today and we're doing takeout for dinner and enjoying all the shine and noticeable lack of fingerprints. 

Maidpro San Antonio serves a large portion of the city and the surrounding area and I'm thrilled that they're now in my neck of the woods. Visit the link in my profile and use the code JR2021 to get $100 off a recurring cleaning. #maidpropartner 

I'm totally happy with their services. It gives me some time back in my day to do other stuff and having my kitchen shine like this just makes my happy meter go up, up up!

I know it won't last for THAT long but I'm trying not to think about that!

(AD) Do you ever feel like you’re standing at a (AD) Do you ever feel like you’re standing at a fork in the road? Like…literally? I have been bouncing back and forth between a certain business decision for about a year. I might act like I’m sure of my path but I’m really not. So, I decided to talk to a psychic advisor from @californiapsychics 

Talking to a psychic advisor is pretty far out of step with how I usually make decisions, but in the interest of testing my comfort zone, I decided to go for it. I had an awesome 30-minute conversation with Psychic Tara that started with me giving my given name, birth date and the most pressing question on my mind. She connected with my guides and gave me some hints at things they see on the horizon as well as some reassurance that my path is the right one. Among other things, I’ve been wrestling with the idea of slowing down versus trying to grow. Tara said I will know when it’s time to slow down and there is still some soaring to do and some important people to connect with.

I’m not sure what I believe when it comes to cards and oracles and guides, but I can tell you I came away from the reading with Tara feeling reassured and energized. It was a very positive and affirming experience. 

If you’d like to get your own reading (I highly recommend!) you can go to the California Psychics website or download their app to book your reading today and use promo code ripped5 to get $5 added to your account when you purchase your first reading.

You can do your reading in the privacy of your own home via a phone call, like I did (I like the voice connection) or via a chat box. They’re open 24/7 and have a wide variety of prices to fit your budget. 

Give it a try! It was a really great experience for me, and it offered clarity with a situation I’ve been struggling with.

Two things we don't get much use for in Texas: hea Two things we don't get much use for in Texas: heated seats and snow pants!

Last week, I was glad we had both on hand. More coming about the Nissan Rogue soon. And one more picture of the crazy snow from last week before we're all convinced it was a dream. Single digit temperatures in Texas was pretty crazy. It's in the 70's this week.

I have a long list of things that happened in 2020 I have a long list of things that happened in 2020 that I didn’t expect. One was Remus. He’s been a great and entertaining addition to our family but he is hands down the STINKIEST animal we’ve ever owned.

#ad Did you know February is American Heart Month? #ad Did you know February is American Heart Month? 

In addition to Valentine's Day Hearts and other symbols of love, why not take some time this month to learn about the heart that keeps you going every day? I had a checkup and a long talk with my doctor about heart health in December. Don't worry, I'm fine, but it gave me a great sense of relief to know about some of the things I need to watch out for and some options for my future.

Lifestyle changes to incorporate exercise and healthy eating are key to a heart-healthy lifestyle. And, a low dose aspirin regimen with St. Joseph's Low Dose Aspirin taken regularly may help reduce risk of recurrent (second) heart attack or ischemic (clot-related) stroke for some individuals.

 Always talk to your doctor before starting an aspirin regimen.

No matter what your health picture looks like, take a little time to learn about heart health this month! Use as your doctor directs. #putalittleloveinyourheart
