Why You Shouldn't Go to Disney World Until 2026
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator evaluates whether travelers should visit Disney World in 2025 or wait until 2026. The argument for waiting until 2026 focuses on upcoming attractions and major refurbishments. These include a new Zootopia show in Animal Kingdom, updated missions for Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run in Hollywood Studios, and the reopening of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom. The creator notes that while 2026 will involve significant construction, Disney may offer more incentives and deals to encourage visitors during this period. Conversely, the case for visiting in 2025 highlights immediate new offerings such as new stage shows in Hollywood Studios, a new nighttime parade in Magic Kingdom, and the opening of a themed lounge in Epcot. The creator also mentions that 2025 provides a final opportunity to experience certain attractions, like the Dinosaur ride in Animal Kingdom, before they close for new expansions. Ultimately, the decision depends on whether a traveler prioritizes new themed lands and rides or wants to take advantage of current deals and see existing attractions before they are replaced by construction projects.

Creator's Key Takeaways
We're not saying you shouldn't go to Disney, especially if you've already booked your trip.
If you're wanting to ride the new Big Thunder Mountain or see the new Zootopia show or the new Missions for Smugglers Run, then you're going to want to wait and take that big Disney vacay in 2026.
Because deals. That's why Disney's going to need to release some major incentives to keep people enticed.
Maybe you should go to Disney World this year simply because you're ready. It's time.
