The Walt Disney World rumor mill is abuzz with all of the big changes and expansions just on the horizon.  Soon Disney World will turn 50 and Epcot will celebrate 40 years soon after.  We already know of major changes and expansions coming to Walt Disney World within the next year, but here are some more exciting 2019 Walt Disney World Rumors to look out for.

The Five 2019 Walt Disney World Rumors to Look Out For Next Year

5 Walt Disney World Rumors for 2019

1. Millenium Falcon

The new Millennium Falcon attraction is the most highly anticipated piece of Galaxy’s Edge.  The new Star Wars Land ride, debuting next Fall, promises guests a chance to pilot the Millennium Falcon.  The real-time controls and effects are stunning.  However, as the outcome of your mission dictates the rest of your experience in Star Wars Land, many are concerned.

What they worry about is the potential to fail and how that would affect their enjoyment.  Some people want just positive experiences, while others want a challenge.  However, the point may be moot as details of the attraction’s design sound more and more like Mission Space.  Therefore, it is likely that Millennium Falcon will offer two levels of difficulty.

2. Brazil is Going to Epcot

Epcot has maintained its world Showcase skyline for three decades.  The last pavilion to open was Norway in June of 1988.  Since then Gaps have remained, though they are barely noticeable to the casual observer.

More Pavilions were planned from the beginning, but the next phase of World Showcase planning never took place.  There has been an uptick in rumors about Brazil and Spain joining the ranks.  As of yet, there has been no official statement, although concept art for these pavilions does exist.  The expectation is that we will get confirmation of the rumored $500 million expansion next summer.

3. New Monorails are Finally Coming to Disney World

This rumor is maybe mundane to most, but to others who are familiar with the WDW monorail system, it’s maybe the most exciting news so far.  It seems that Disney is working out a deal with Bombardier.  The Canadian transportation company has worked with Disney in the past.

You know those monorails that look (and run) like they are thirty years old?  Well, they are!  And Bombardier was the company that built them.  The Mark VII at Disneyland is only 10 years old and was built by Dynamic Structures.  The idea of a Mark VIII coming to Walt Disney World is very exciting news indeed!

4. New Paid Fastpass Options

It’s already happening overseas and many are saying that it is just a matter of time before it happens here, too.  Disneyland Paris has begun charging for upgraded Fastpasses that allow unlimited access to select attractions.  The Super FastPass and Ultimate FastPass are two options that guests to Disneyland Paris can pay for on top of general admission. Moreover, the club level guests at Walt Disney World can purchase three extra fast passes per person for $50 per day which can be booked at the 90-day window.

Walt Disney Hollywood Studios Toy Story Land Alien Swirling Saucers Ride

The rumor is that they will start doing it soon in the states too, once Star Wars Land is open in Fall 2019.  The upgraded Fastpasses would allow guests to ride their selected attractions any time they want as opposed to selecting a scheduled time window.  Ultimate Fastpass users will also have unlimited uses of the pass for those selected attractions.

5. Changes to Animation Courtyard

Obviously, once Star Wars Land opens, the Star Wars Launch Bay, which anchors the Animation Courtyard will no longer be necessary.  However, the rumor is that The Voyage of the Little Mermaid is also planned to be demolished.  Rumors have been flying for some time about what is to become of this section of the park amidst all of the changes and updates. 

Toy Story Land Slinky Dog Dash

The prevailing notion is that it will become another Pixar related land, but there are no specifics to suggest what IP they will rely on.  Incredibles is already confirmed for the Old Pixar Place corridor and Cars will be opening at the end of Sunset Boulevard.  It’s possible that The Monsters Inc Laugh Floor may find a new home at Disney’s Hollywood Studios if the rumored Monsters Inc. expansion to the area has any credence.

We are all ready and have our plans for 2019 at Walt Disney World all set to go.

    I’d be happy if a Cars Land came to DHS! Spain should definitely come to Epcot.

    I’m sure these are exciting rumors for Disney lovers such as yourself. Hopefully you and your family will be able to see them happen in person this summer

    Until then, we have winter to get through, so enjoy your week as we shiver here in Olympia

      Aw, thanks Bill and I am counting down the days until summer at Disney for us. That said, freezing here right now in NY, as well and trying to enjoy the bright sunshine at the very least! 😉

      We are totally looking forward and excited for our next Disney trip now 🙂

    I think Disney does such an amazing job with their parks that I am interested to see what will be coming soon. The issue about the competitive nature of the Millenium Falcon is very interesting. I like that Disney wants to be a place where no one “loses.” The whole Fastpass thing will also be interesting to watch. What they are doing is very free market, but then does disenfranchise those who cannot afford the extra expense. I’ll be looking for your comments from your next trip!

      I feel very similar to you on this with Disney. That said also very excited for our upcoming trips this year and will definitely keep you posted here when we return 🙂

    Wow, I’m super excited about anything Star Wars, as you can imagine. Even the monorail news is exciting. I can’t wait to go next month!!

    • Janine says

      December 10, 2018 at 6:06 pm

      Aw, so very excited for your upcoming trip. Only wish I could somehow be there when you were there. But still, maybe someday we can make that happen!! 🙂

    Lots to look forward to on your next trip!

    WOW, there is so much going on over at Disney and I really enjoyed reading about all the ‘rumors’ and anticipating some BIG changes happening soon!

    I’ll be sharing this awesome info on my page so other people are in the ‘know’ too!

    Thanks so much Janine and YAY for another trip to Disney under your belt and another one to plan for the future as well!

    I would love to see Spain or Brazil in Epcot! Sadly the new Star Wars land will not be open in time for our trip next month, but that just means we will have to go back!

    • Janine says

      December 28, 2018 at 9:09 am

      Dana, ya for your upcoming trip and hope you share it on your blog with us soon. As for Star Wars Land, I have my fingers crossed that it will be open for our second trip next November. I am pretty sure it won’t be when we are there in the summer. But November’s trip again I got more hope for right about now! 😉

    My mom and I have been talking about taking a trip to Disney World. Epcot is the #1 park we want to go to and new countries would be amazing!

      Becca, love, love, love The World Showcase in Epcot and hope you get there soon this year, too!! 🙂
