As Walt Disney once predicted, Disneyland will "never be completed" as long as there is imagination in the world. Both Disney theme parks in the US are continuing to grow, with new rides, experiences and entertainment planned for 2025 and beyond.
The latest at Walt Disney World involves a ride overlay celebrating the release of Tron: Ares in theaters on Oct. 10. The overlay on Tron Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom turns the high-speed ride red and orange (replacing its usual blue and orange), along with a Nine Inch Nails soundtrack.
Over at Disneyland, the original park is currently celebrating its 70th anniversary as it prepares to add new rides, experiences and lands starting next year, including a new entryway, a Coco ride for the beloved Pixar movie and a new Avatar area.
Entire new lands are being constructed right now at Disney World, too -- not to mention the brand-new Disney theme park announced for Abu Dhabi.
We've got all the details on the park expansions and the Disneyland 70th anniversary celebration. Here's everything coming to the Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line in 2025 and beyond.

Two major attractions will be built in Villains Land, as well as dining and shopping "on an incredibly twisted, grand scale." The land is already being constructed, but no word yet on when it'll open.
