After a possible Animal Kingdom expansion Imagineer Chris Beatty and Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios Jennifer Lee gave us another potential announcement.

Concept art was revealed for a possible Coco, Encanto, and Villains expansion close to Big Thunder Mountain. Fans of Walt Disney World have been dreaming about a possible Villains expansion for a long time. Coco and Encanto have also been huge hits for Walt Disney Animation Studios so it's understandable that Disney might want to capitalise on their popularity.

As with the possible Animal Kingdom expansion, the panel were clear to say that these expansion ideas were not yet confirmed and it might not necessarily be all three that eventually arrive at the park.

These possible expansions to Walt Disney World are wonderfully exciting for fans of the park who can't wait to have some fun new experiences.
