Disney's theme parks are already undergoing one of the largest transformations in company history, but with CEO Josh D'Amaro, the biggest announcements may not be behind us. During The Walt Disney Company's latest quarterly earnings call, D'Amaro once again pointed to the enormous pipeline of projects headed to Disney parks around the world. Yet with D23 just days away, many fans believe Disney is only getting started.
The company has spent the past year confirming ambitious expansions for both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, and executives used the earnings presentation to reinforce that those investments remain a top priority.
Disney Doubles Down on Park Expansion
Disney didn't use the earnings call to announce brand-new attractions, but it did remind investors just how much is already on the way.
At Walt Disney World, Magic Kingdom is preparing for the arrival of Villains Land while construction continues on Piston Peak National Park, the Cars-inspired area replacing the former Rivers of America. Disney's Hollywood Studios is getting a Monsters, Inc. land, while Disney's Animal Kingdom continues work on Tropical Americas.
Meanwhile, Disneyland Resort has its own slate of major additions planned, including a Coco attraction, an expanded Avengers Campus, and an Avatar experience.
The investment stretches well beyond the United States. Disneyland Paris is adding a Lion King area, Hong Kong Disneyland is building another Marvel attraction, and Shanghai Disney Resort is expanding with a Spider-Man-themed land.
Taken together, it's one of the largest collections of active Disney park projects the company has ever undertaken.
Disney Parks Continue Delivering Strong Results
The company also had plenty to celebrate financially.
Disney reported another strong quarter for its Experiences division, with domestic park attendance increasing by 3% while guest spending also climbed. Walt Disney World helped lead those results thanks to strong attendance from domestic visitors and Annual Passholders, along with new offerings and promotional campaigns.
Those numbers reinforce why Disney continues pouring billions of dollars into its parks business despite ongoing expansion across resorts, cruise ships, and international destinations.
D23 Could Steal the Spotlight
Even with today's updates, attention is quickly shifting toward Anaheim.
D23 returns August 14 through August 16, and Disney has built a reputation for saving some of its biggest theme park reveals for the fan convention. New lands, attractions, entertainment offerings, and long-term development plans have all debuted during previous Parks presentations.
Disney hasn't revealed what this year's showcase will include, but expectations remain high.
Whether it's fresh attractions for Walt Disney World, new experiences for Disneyland, or entirely unexpected projects, D23 feels like the next major chapter in Disney's expansion plans.
The Future Keeps Getting Bigger
Today's earnings call confirmed one thing: Disney has no plans to slow its investment in theme parks.
Construction cranes already dominate skylines across multiple Disney resorts, and several marquee projects are years away from opening. With D23 less than two weeks away, there's also a growing feeling that Disney is preparing to pull back the curtain on even more additions.
No one knows exactly what Disney will announce next, but if history is any indication, the company's biggest park news of 2026 may still be waiting just around the corner.
