10 New Reasons to Visit Walt Disney World in 2018:
#1: Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Hollywood Studios
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will take explorers to a remote frontier trading post way out on the edge of space. Visitors will be able to immerse themselves in this new world like never before. If Pandora: World of Avatar is anything to go by, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is going to be out of this world. Literally.
Take your life in your hands as you throw yourself into the fierce action of a galactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.
Not dangerous enough? Okay, fly the Millennium Falcon as a wannabe Top Gun on a critical mission where your efforts can either gain or lose you cosmic credits.
Characters, including Chewbacca, will be in attendance to 'chew' you up or pat you on the 'bacca' depending on your efforts.
This is definitely one to add to the growing list of new reasons to visit Walt Disney World.
Open: Late Fall 2019

Epcot gives us two new reasons to visit Walt Disney World, along with a host of other announcements for 2021. This may seem a long way off to start announcing rides, restaurants and attractions, but when you take into account it will be Disney's 50th anniversary, it all falls into place.
#3: Guardians of the Galaxy
Future World is the lucky recipient of this shiny new attraction. The movie trilogy (3rd movie in planning stage) 'Guardians of the Galaxy' is the result of the combined efforts of Marvel Comics and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. This new attraction brings the glamor, action and excitement to replace the Universe of Energy attraction which closed on August 13, 2017.
Open: 2021
The France Pavilion is being extended to feature a new attraction based on the 'Ratatouille' movie. Guests are shrunk to the size of Remy and find themselves being chased through a kitchen as they desperately seek refuge.
To give the attraction authenticity, kitchen accessories and smells will be all around the escapees.
Open: 2021
Details: New Epcot Rides
#5: Out-of-this-world Dining & New Mission Space Experience
Diners will be transported into space for a new dining experience with amazing views perched over planet Earth. Famous Disney characters won't be the only stars around your table.
The new restaurant will coincide with the launch of a new Green Mission at Mission: SPACE that will take guests on a soaring journey over Earth.
The Patina Restaurant Group which operates Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs, Tutto Italia and Via Napoli at Epcot, will create the new restaurant next to Mission:Space.

#6: TRON Lightcycle Power Run
Magic Kingdom will be home to this shiny new attraction. Based on the movie, Tron, this exciting Light Cycle Rollercoaster ride has been hugely popular in Disneyland, Shanghai. Thrills, speed and lights combine to make Tron an awesome high-tech adventure.
Tron will be located by Space Mountain.
Open: 2021
Details: Tron - Magic Kingdom
#7: Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway
Considering it 'All Started with A Mouse', Mickey has never had his own attraction. Until now that is. Although many will be sad to see the closure of the Great Movie Ride, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is promising a new world of cartoon as a replacement. It will also have more hidden Mickeys than any other attraction anywhere in the universe. Heads will be spinning counting them all!
So how would you like to star in a movie? A movie with Mickey and Minnie as your co-stars. Well, this dream is about to become a reality. How?
Simple. Step through the movie screen and become part of the filming. Anything can happen, which just makes it all the more exciting.
There's no set launch date for the new ride, but the last day of The Great Movie Ride was on August 13, 2017.

#8: New Theater at Magic Kingdom
April 2018 Update: It looks like this project is cancelled or on hold. The details have been removed from the "coming soon" details on Disney's website. We'll update if we hear more.
The Magic Kingdom is getting a brand new theater to house world-class entertainment. Fitting right in with Main Street theming, the theater is inspired by the 1920’s Willis Wood Theater of Kansas, MO, where Walt lived after he left Marceline. The venue is expected to house world-class entertainment. Some live new reasons to visit Walt Disney World!
#9: Disney Skyliner and Minnie (Van) Transport
Disney are introducing two new methods of transport.
Connecting several of Disney's resorts to Hollywood Studios and International Gateway at Epcot will be the Disney Skyliner. The new gondola system will have pods decked with Disney characters giving guests a birds-eye view of the resorts and parks below.
Another means of transport, already available through the parks and resorts, is the Minnie Vans. Painted red with white dots, these distinctive cute vans give guests a point-to-point service throughout the Walt Disney World Resort.
Details: Skyliner & Minnie Van
A new vacation resort based on the Star Wars theme is also planned for the future.
Chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts is so enthusiastic, "It's unlike anything that exists today. From the second you arrive, you will become a part of a Star Wars story."
Being Disney, it just has to be awesome. Even though we have our own vacation homes, I might just have to check it out for myself one night!
