This year’s D23 Expo welcomes the Disney Parks’ Wonderful World of Dreams Pavilion, which has brought with it a number of exciting details and teases for upcoming attractions from the Disney parks around the globe. The exhibit has some of these upcoming elements on display from parks such as Disneyland California, Tokyo DisneySea and Shanghai Disneyland.
Some particularly exciting additions to the exhibit are the colorful models of the newly transformed Mickey’s Toontown area at Disneyland Park, which is currently being reimagined and is set to reopen in 2023. Alongside this newly revamped area, the park’s newest attraction Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway will also debut, with the attraction having received a brand new poster. Check out some images of these models, as well as the poster below.

The exhibit saw some of the puppets that will be used to bring even more magic to this upcoming expansion, showcasing just how this new land will bring some of the citizens of Zootopia to life. The characters will be used to create a truly immersive experience for guests as they explore Zootopia. Check out a clip of these Zootopia citizens in action below.
