The new land will be home to the Disney Villains, and “Happily Ever After may feel like just a distant dream.”

Disney said the land will have two major attractions, dining and shopping.

“Be prepared, you poor unfortunate souls,” D’Amaro said. “It’s going to be a fearless new vision for what a Disney experience can be.”

Cars at the Magic Kingdom

Ka-Chow! Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater are racing into Magic Kingdom Park.

D’Amaro said the Pixar Animation Studios film “Cars” will be coming to a reimagined section of Frontierland at Magic Kingdom.

“The American West has always been about keeping your eyes on the horizon … believing in yourself, carving your own path, and striving toward success. That goes for miners in the mountains, bears from the country, a princess from the bayou … or a racecar from the big city,” Josh told the crowd.

Two new attractions will be taking guests into the wilderness beyond Radiator Springs.

Disney said construction on this area will begin early next year.
