Avengers assemble at Disneyland

Guests can suit up alongside their favorite superheroes at the Avengers Campus, beginning in 2020 at Disney California Adventure park; the concept will later be featured at Disneyland Paris. Both campuses will feature the first Disney ride-through attraction to feature Spider-Man.

At Disneyland, the Avengers Headquarters building will become the future entrance to a brand-new E-Ticket attraction. Guests will also encounter their favourite heroes throughout the attraction and may even catch a glimpse of the Avengers along the rooftops of the Avengers Headquarters.

Even more Star Wars

Hot on the heels of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the Star Wars: Galactic Star Cruiser, an immersive ‘vacation within a vacation’ in which guests will embark on a two-night adventure aboard the Halcyon for a simulated trip into space. Similar to an ocean cruise, the interactive experience features a “spaceport” day at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and guests can interact with various characters from the Star Wars franchise, which will determine the outcome of the experience.

Disney Cruise Line makes a Wish

Three new ships are coming to the Disney Cruise Line fleet, with the first of the three ships – the Disney Wish – to be delivered in late 2021, setting sail in January 2022.

Guests can also look forward to a signature island experience that celebrates nature and the spirit and culture of The Bahamas at a new Disney port of call located on the island of Eleuthera at Lighthouse Point.
