While it’s not clear if any of the specialist attractions will disappear for good, there are a number of other rides, restaurants and hotels opening their doors to visitors – here are some of the best of the bunch.
Disney World – Tron Lightcycle Power Run and Toy Story restaurant
After being under construction for five years, Disney World has announced the opening of a Tron-themed ride for next Spring.
Guests will sit on individual motorcycles and grip a set of handlebars while a pad behind the seat comes down and secures visitors in place as they’re taken on a journey through the Tron films.
Disney World will also have a new Toy Story restaurant called Woody’s Rodeo Roundup BBQ, and The Happily Ever After fireworks are set to make a return too.
Disneyland California – Wondrous Journey show and more Marvel meet and greets
