What’s Coming to Disneyland in 2026
Get ready to mark your calendars! New rides and attractions are set to arrive at Disneyland Resort in 2026.
As part of the ambitious DisneylandForward expansion initiative, Disneyland will introduce an entirely new land and attractions that have never been seen in any Disney park before.
Here’s everything you need to know!
Pandora at California Adventure
Pandora is coming to California Adventure, but this land will be different from the one at Animal Kingdom, as it will be based on Avatar: The Way of Water and future Avatar movies.
The new land will be located in Hollywood Backlot, which means we’re saying goodbye to Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! in early 2026.
Currently, we know little about the attraction that’s coming to Pandora, but from the concept art, it appears to be a boat ride.
“This new and thrilling excursion will bring all the action, excitement, and wonder of Avatar, taking guests all the way to the wide-open seas of Pandora.” – Josh D’Amaro, Disney Experiences Chairman.
Coco Attraction
California Adventure is getting a Coco attraction! It’ll be the first Coco attraction in any Disney park!
The attraction is set to be located between Paradise Gardens Park and Pixar Pier, which is currently a backstage area. In the concept art above, you can see Incredicoaster on the left.
The attraction will be an indoor boat ride through the Land of the Dead, featuring audio-animatronic Coco characters, including Miguel and Hector.
New Attractions At Avengers Campus
Avengers Campus is expanding with two new attractions! Unfortunately, no opening date has been announced for either ride just yet, but you can keep up to date with all the news here.
Avengers: Infinity Defence
Avengers: Infinity Defence is being described as a multi-world adventure. You’ll join the Avengers on a mission to stop Thanos in what appears to be an indoor dark ride.
Technology that allows the Avengers to jump between worlds has gone missing, and King Thanos is using it to wreak havoc everywhere. Recruits will travel to iconic locations like Asgard, Wakanda, and New York City alongside the likes of big, and small, heroes. You also just might find yourself face-to-face with King Thanos, too. – Disney
Stark Flight Lab
Have you ever wanted to know what it’s like to be a superhero? Well, now’s your chance in this brand-new Avengers ride!
As you can see in the concept art below, you’ll be seated in a two-person pod that gets lifted by a robotic arm and spun around in a simulated flight.
You’ll also be joined by a special guest, as it’s been confirmed that Robert Downey Jr. will reprise his role as Tony Stark for the attraction!
