Spring 2018- Main Street USA- "Mickey's Philharmagic"
Mickey's Philharmagic, one of the best 3D shows in all of Walt Disney World, is now being moved from Fantasyland to Main Street USA. This is for multiple reasons and serves a few purposes. This show down at the entrance to the park not only adds the first full attraction down there, but it will also help to spread out guests around the park and capture some of them on their path as they head to some of the bigger e-tickets early in the morning. It fits too, the theme of Mickey's Philharmagic (and the same queue theme and style being moved) makes perfect sense in Main Street, perhaps even more so than in Fantasyland. Lastly, it also frees up some valuable space in Fantasyland for other projects. Mickey's Philharmagic will go into the Town Square Theater building, now re-themed. The queue theme will remain the same, as well as the show. However, the show will have a new feature of different movie scenes, all randomized, to make a more unique crazy experience with Donald! Lastly, the Mickey and friends character meet-&-greet that is being replaced will be added to the exit of the ride along with the gift shop.

Fall 2018- Fantasyland- "Peter Pan's Flight" Major Refurbishment
After much outcry from fans, Peter Pan's Flight will finally get the attention it deserves. Recently it received wonderful queue enhancements, which were very nice and add to the atmosphere of the ride. However, it is only a small portion of it. This London-building themed queue will be implemented throughout the entire line to make the wait much more bearable, and help rebuild this ride's e-ticket reputation. In addition, the facade will receive this work to make it actually London themed rather than a tent. The facade will look much more like Disneyland's Peter Pan's Flight.

The ride itself, however, also needs a lot of help too. Like Winnie the Pooh, all animatronics will be completely replaced to instead add newer, more realistic, and technologically advanced animatronics, along the lines of Seven Dwarf's Mine Train. To help capacity incredibly, the vehicles will be replaced with those akin the Disneyland Paris, with four to a vehicle rather than two. Many old and simple effects will be completely replaced to look more lifelike (For example, the tin-foil volcano in the mermaid scene), and best of all, the ride will be extended in length. How will this happen? The building right next door, Mickey's Philharmagic, will be taken out, and all buildings will be combined into one for one great queue and ride, as well as a gift shop and Peter Pan characters meet-&-greet with the leftover space.
