Unlike previous years, Destination D23 2025 won’t have a Disney Parks panel dedicated to new announcements. Instead, there will be a panel just about Disney Villains experiences, possibly teasing some news for the upcoming Villains Land at Magic Kingdom.
Disney Parks Panel
Usually, Destination D23 at Walt Disney World and D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in California have a Disney Parks showcase, during which Disney Experiences chairman Josh D’Amaro announces new attractions, lands, and more projects in the works for parks around the world. In the past, this panel has been used for the announcement of the Villains Land coming to Magic Kingdom and the Tropical Americas expansion to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Despite the anticipation for several new and rumored projects, no Disney Parks showcase or panel is listed on this year’s Destination D23 schedule.
