It may still technically be winter, but things are heating up in Disney World.
50th Anniversary Celebrations are coming to a close, while a new festival is gearing up in EPCOT. Over in Magic Kingdom, new attractions are slowly but surely coming together, and that’s not all. Come with us to check out what’s new in Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom Construction Updates
TRON Lightcycle / Run
TRON is officially opening on April 4th, but we’ve already had the chance to ride it during Cast Member previews — and you can see it all here! As far as construction goes, things on the ground appear to be pretty buttoned up aside from some additional landscaping work going on.
We had a great time riding TRON and can’t wait until it’s officially open!
