*Note* I have not included any confirmed projects in this list, such as Nintendo Land.
5. Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary Plans
The current rumor is that 50 updates will be made to various attractions by the 50th Anniversary. Heavy hitters like Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Tower of Terror and Peter Pan's Flight have all been rumored for updates as well as other smaller attractions such as The Seas with Nemo and Friends and Carousel of Progress might be getting enhancements as well. This project may not seem as exciting as some of the other rumors on this list, but improvements to a large number of Disney attractions is never a bad thing.
4. Secret Life of Pets Dark Ride Coming to Universal Orlando
3. New Gondola Transportation System Coming to Walt Disney World
2. Epcot Getting Several New Attractions & New Country
Guardians of the Galaxy Roller Coaster to Replace Universe of Energy and Possibly Wonders of Life
Ratatouille Ride from Paris Coming to Epcot's France Pavilion
Brazil or Spain Pavilion Coming to World Showcase
The first and seemingly the frontrunner is Brazil, who has a significant impact on Walt Disney World due to the large number of tourists who arrive from Brazil on a year upon year basis. As far as attractions go, Brazil could have some sort of boat ride, but who knows what it would be based upon, if anything at all.
The second rumor is Spain. This would be an interesting choice and would tie into the future Disney Animation film Gigantic, which is set in Spain. The pavilion would most likely include a Gigantic attraction of some sort. Disney is apparently very optimistic on Gigantic being a huge success, so getting an attraction started in a new pavilion before the film opens seems like a good idea.
We'll have to wait and see if either of these two rumored new pavilions comes to pass, but the fact that there is a decent chance we'll be getting a new World Showcase Pavilion is very exciting.
1. Wizarding World of Harry Potter Phase Three
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Expansion
Ministry of Magic Expansion
That's it for the latest batch of rumors. I hope you enjoyed reading them!
