It may be hard to believe, but in just over a year, Disney's Hollywood Studios will be a completely different park. Though Toy Story Land had a blockbuster opening just a few days ago, big things are on the horizon for Disney's Hollywood Studios, which will add a whopping 6 new attractions in less than 18 months. Here's everything we know about these attractions, and when you can expect to experience them at this park:
1. Disney Junior Dance Party

Attraction type: Show
Opening: Fall 2018
Disney has announced that this fall a new show called Disney Junior Dance Party! will be coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios. This character-based show will feature plenty of familiar faces from popular TV shows like "Mickey and the Roadster Racers," "Doc McStuffins," "The Lion Guard" and the newest hit series "Vampirina." This new show is being billed as a musically infused, interactive concert, hosted by new characters Finn Fiesta and Deejay, who involve guests in all the fun.
Unfortunately, this means that Disney Junior - Live on Stage! will be coming to an end after over 17 years of performances at this park. This puppet-based show will have its final performance on September 1, 2018.
2. Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy

Opening: Early 2019
A new show based on the world of Cars called Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy has been confirmed to be coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios early next year. Though specifics about the nature of this just-announced show were not immediately made available, according to Imagineer Kathy Mangum, this new entertainment offering will be "a show unlike anything we've got anywhere else," and will feature well-known characters from the Cars films.
In addition to Lightning McQueen the show will also feature Cruz Ramirez and Mater, and will immerse guests in the world of Cars, bringing them face to face with racing legend Lightning McQueen who will be on hand to demonstrate racing techniques on a new simulator and share some of his biggest career highlights with guests during the show.
When it opens in 2019, this show will be performed daily in the Sunset Showcase facility. You can learn more about this new, upcoming attraction here.
