Excitement is already building for the ship’s highly anticipated maiden voyage, which is set for November 20th, 2025.

Disneyland’s Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to Close for Refurbishment
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland is scheduled to close for refurbishment starting September 2, 2025. According to the Disneyland Resort website, a reopening date has not yet been announced.
Get ready to put your journey on hold, because Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland is scheduled to close for refurbishment on September 2, 2025. The Disneyland Resort website confirms the closure, but a reopening date has not yet been announced. This is a bit unusual, as the park usually doesn’t have a major attraction closed for a long period between the Halloween and Christmas seasons.
The “wildest ride in the wilderness” joins its Walt Disney World counterpart, which closed in January 2025 and is not expected to reopen until 2026. This has led to speculation about coordinated maintenance between the parks and what the extended refurbishment might entail for both attractions. There have also been rumors that the Disneyland attraction will not reopen until 2026.
Will Big Thunder Mountain’s closure impact your Disneyland vacation?
“Wondrous Journeys” nighttime spectacular returns to Disneyland Park in Anaheim, Calif., March 22-April 14, 2024, for a special, limited presentation. Originally created as a tribute to the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company, it features nods to Walt Disney Animation Studios films over the past century. “Wondrous Journeys” turns Main Street, U.S.A., Sleeping Beauty Castle and the façade of “it’s a small world” into an artist’s canvas with lighting effects, customized projections a
Disneyland to Show ‘Wondrous Journeys’ Between Halloween and Christmas
Disneyland has announced that the popular nighttime spectacular, Wondrous Journeys, will make a temporary return to Disneyland Park. The show will run during the brief period between the end of the Halloween season and the start of the Christmas festivities.
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort will run from August 22 through October 31, while the Christmas holiday season begins on November 14 and continues until January 7.
According to the Orange County Register, Wondrous Journeys will be shown on select dates during this two-week gap, marking a change from previous years when the park’s nighttime spectaculars would pause completely from August until the end of the year.
This summer, the show’s final performance will be on August 21, just before the Halloween season begins. Wondrous Journeys initially returned to Disneyland in May to kick off the resort’s 70th anniversary celebration and is currently performed most evenings at 9:30 p.m., with fireworks on select nights.

Avengers Campus Expansion Takes Shape as Construction Starts
Disney has released the first images of the ongoing construction to expand Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure, and the first steel column for the project has officially been put into place.
Walt Disney Imagineering posted new images of the project on Instagram, offering a glimpse into the expansion. The caption explained, “Equipping more guests to become Super Heroes requires equipment! The expansion of Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure Park went vertical this morning with the first steel column lifted into place. New, thrilling attractions will join the campus, doubling its size in the future.”
The pictures shared show Imagineers in safety gear standing in a cleared area with the back of Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! visible behind them. A large crane is stationed nearby, and a second photo shows it lowering a tall steel column into place, marking a significant step in the expansion project.
The expansion will nearly double the size of Avengers Campus and introduce two new attractions: Avengers: Infinity Defense and Stark Flight Lab. The area is also rumored to be getting a new restroom facility. Recently, a new structure was added near the construction walls during our last progress update.
Disney Cruise Line Starts Building Fourth Wish-Class Ship
Construction is now underway on Disney Cruise Line’s fourth Wish-class ship at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany. This vessel will join its sister ships, the Disney Wish, the Disney Treasure, and the upcoming Disney Destiny, expanding Disney’s fleet of magical cruise ships.
In a post on Instagram, Disney Cruise Line shared photos of the traditional steel-cutting ceremony that marked the start of construction. This maritime milestone begins the ship’s build with a laser cutting a decorative piece of steel. For this event, the steel was shaped like a Disney Cruise Line ship and featured the company’s logo. The piece was signed by representatives from both Disney and Meyer Werft, as well as Mickey Mouse, who were all present for the celebration.
This newest vessel will share the same size and general layout as its sister ships, the Disney Wish, Disney Treasure, and Disney Destiny. The Disney Destiny, set to launch on its maiden voyage this November, is themed around a “Heroes and Villains” concept, and will feature a new stage show inspired by Hercules.
While the new ship does not yet have a name, it marks a significant expansion for Disney Cruise Line. The Wish class is the first in the company’s history to have more than two ships. Beyond the main fleet, an additional Wish-class ship is being built for the Japanese market. This vessel will be operated by the Oriental Land Company, the owners of Tokyo Disney Resort, who have hinted at the possibility of a second Japanese ship in the future.

Scare Zone Set Pieces and Food Booths are arriving ahead of Halloween Horror Nights 34
Halloween Horror Nights 34 is creeping ever closer, and Universal Studios Florida is looking more and more like a haunted playground. Scare zones and food booths are sprouting up across the park, giving us our first taste of the eerie atmospheres awaiting guests this year.
Near the park entrance, the towering trusses for The Origins of Horror are in place, soon to be decked out in ominous décor. Minion Land is transforming into a decaying conservatory where twisted vines, monstrous crows, and gargoyles will greet you. Stony platforms, stained glass accents, and wrought iron gates set the tone for the event’s overarching Conservatory theme.
Over in Central Park, The Cat Lady of Crooked Lane is getting her spooky abode ready. The weathered blue house now sports a roof with a mysterious square opening, while giant balls of yarn, hanging bottles of milk, and tattered décor hint at her habit of turning trick-or-treaters into feral felines.
In the New York area, the Mutations: Toxic Twenties scare zone is taking shape. Themed to a 1920s neighborhood struck by a BuzzCon chemical spill, the set pieces include a damaged florist stand, a vintage newsstand packed with clever Easter eggs, and era-appropriate police cars and mobster getaway vehicles. The scene tells the story of a toxic truck crash gone horribly wrong.
Foodies will want to check out the WWE Presents: The Horrors of the Wyatt Sicks food booth, styled after Bray Wyatt’s Firefly Funhouse with sky-blue clouds, tan curtains, and creeping vines to tie it into the park-wide theme.
Elsewhere, Mel’s Drive-In prepares for its zombie-infested makeover as Mel’s Die-In, while the lagoon show Haunt-O-Phonic: A Ghoulish Journey readies its haunting water screens. The Fear Factor stage is prepped for Nightmare Fuel: Circus of Decay, promising a sinister spectacle of pyro, aerialists, and illusions.
Halloween Horror Nights 34 runs select nights from August 29 through November 2, 2025, featuring 10 haunted houses, five scare zones, two street experiences, a lagoon show, and one pulse-pounding stage show.

Matt Smith Joins the Dark Side in Upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter Film
Get ready to see Matt Smith trading in his sonic screwdriver for a lightsaber, because the former Doctor Who star is officially joining a galaxy far, far away. Smith has been cast as the villain in the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter movie, a major addition to Lucasfilm’s next wave of theatrical releases.
First reported by Deadline, Smith was selected after a series of meetings with director Shawn Levy, who is helming the film. Best known for his run as the Eleventh Doctor and more recently as Daemon Targaryen in HBO’s House of the Dragon, Smith is no stranger to playing intense, complex characters—and it sounds like this mysterious antagonist will be no exception.
What We Know About Star Wars: Starfighter
Star Wars: Starfighter is shaping up to be a major cinematic event. The film is set five years after The Rise of Skywalker and is part of the continuing post-Skywalker saga. Ryan Gosling was previously announced as the film’s lead, with rising horror star Mia Goth also attached to the cast.
The script comes from Jonathan Tropper, and while plot details are being kept tightly under wraps, the title and casting hint at an action-heavy story centered on high-speed space combat and personal conflict. Think Top Gun, but in space—with a Sith twist.
Production is slated to begin this fall, and the film is set for release on May 28, 2027, making it the first theatrical Star Wars release since 2019.
A Force-Filled Future for Star Wars
Starfighter is just one piece of Lucasfilm’s expansive cinematic puzzle. One month before its debut, Star Wars: A New Hope will return to theaters for its 50th anniversary on April 28, 2027, setting the nostalgic tone.

A crossover epic from Dave Filoni set between The Mandalorian and The Force Awakens
A new trilogy in development by Simon Kinberg
The Force, it seems, is strong with the next few years of Star Wars storytelling—and with Matt Smith stepping in as a villain, we’re expecting drama, darkness, and a whole new kind of chaos in the galaxy.
