When it comes to Disney souvenirs, food and beverage-related novelties like popcorn buckets, sippers, and the like have become some of the most in-demand keepsakes at the company’s resorts.

Coco sipper!

In early September, not one but two new novelty items dropped at the Disneyland Resort, just in time for the start of fall celebration season!

Let’s begin with the Coco Lantern Sipper!

Such a pretty sipper

The new sipper is designed to resemble a multi-colored lantern featuring Miguel, Mama Coco, Héctor Rivera, and Dante the dog, each of which spins, and the center carousel lights up in three glow patterns: slow pulse, quick pulse, and constant glow. The color explosion continues with a yellow straw and a vibrant lanyard. This $30.99 sipper includes a Coca-Cola bottled beverage at the time of purchase.

This sipper is limited to two per person, per transaction, and no discounts can be applied. It can be found at Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante & Ship to Shore Marketplace at Disneyland Park, and at Paradise Garden Grill at Disney California Adventure Park.

The 2026 D23 Ultimate Fan Event was chock-full of major Disney theme park announcements, ranging from details on major projects and prospective opening timelines to shock teaser announcements that fans have waited years for. One of those teasers was for the long-awaited redo of Disneyland’s Tomorrowland, which has long been afflicted by the “Tomorrowland Problem” of a futuristic land quickly becoming outdated.

However, while that announcement was predictably well received, there was little detail on what the new Tomorrowland will specifically entail, and how much is changing. That’s gotten us wondering just how many of Tomorrowland’s older rides, attractions, and structures are going to survive into Disney’s latest take on the future.

Space Mountain

Let’s begin with the biggest ride on our list, both in size and legacy: Space Mountain. While it may seem unimaginable, there has been a stream of rumors that Space Mountain may be replaced. Some point to a version of TRON: Lightcycle/Run coming to the West Coast…

… while others think that the mountain could be rebuilt like the upcoming Space Mountain: Earthrise that’s coming to Tokyo Disneyland (and maybe Magic Kingdom one day as well, but that’s for a separate rumor deep dive).

However, we’re not sure how much stock to put in the idea of Space Mountain being fully replaced, unless the Tomorrowland project is a full teardown of the land. That said, it wouldn’t be surprising if a TLC refurbishment project was in the cards.

Star Tours

Speaking of groundbreaking attractions, let’s move over to Star Tours: The Adventure Continues. While a simulator experience set in a galaxy far, far away has been a Tomorrowland staple for 40 years, the reality is that having a Star Wars-themed ride in the land seems a bit redundant with Galaxy’s Edge on the other side of the park. Plus, the version of Star Tours currently operating is the early 2010s Adventure Continues version, which doesn’t elicit the same nostalgia.

Star Tours

It’s hard to say that removing Star Tours is “likely,” but it may be tempting for Disney given the large plot of land that the ride’s show building (which was once home to Adventure Thru Inner Space) takes up.

Autopia

Perhaps no existing Tomorrowland attraction was thrown into flux by the D23 announcement more than Autopia. The ride is scheduled to replace its fleet of gas-powered vehicles by February 1st of next year. Is that still happening? Has it been canceled and the ride condemned to closure, or will the electric Autopia be the first element of the New Tomorrowland?

Tomorrowland Theater

Over the years, the space currently known as the Tomorrowland Theater has gone by several names — including the Magic Eye Theater — and incarnations while serving as the home of Magic Journeys, Captain EO, and Honey, I Shrunk the Audience. These days, the theater is only sporadically used for showings of things like the Pixar Short Film Festival, making it, perhaps, a prime candidate to be demolished for some of the “open spaces” Disney promised for the new Tomorrowland.

Tomorrowland Expo Center

Similar to the theater, the space currently known as the Tomorrowland Expo Center was once a hub of the land. The once-rotating building has hosted the Carousel of Progress, America Sings, Innoventions, and Star Wars: Launch Bay over the years. However, its current barely used state likely makes it a target for removal during a refurbishment.

It remains to be seen how many, if any, of these rides, attractions, and structures are lost during the upcoming Disneyland Tomorrowland refurbishment. Stay tuned to DFB as more information is released on the project.

Disney has dropped some NEW details on the highly-anticipated new Coco attraction coming to the Disneyland Resort.

First announced at the 2024 D23 Ultimate Fan Event, the attraction – – based on the 2017 Disney/Pixar hit – – is coming to California Adventure, and is going to “be filled with the characters – – and music! – – you know and love from the beloved movie, as you join Miguel on a trip to the land of the dead” according to Disney.

At the time of the announcement, Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro said that the attraction is going to take inspiration from classics like Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean.

He went on to add that, “We’re bringing our skeletal cast of characters to life in a big way through the latest Audio-Animatronics technology. These figures will appear in ways you’ll have to see to believe.”
