20th July 2026 - Orlando Theme Park News from Orlando Insider

Orlando Theme Park News — Fast & Furious Closing Early, Magic of Disney Animation Returns & Halloween Party Selling Out | Week of 12 July 2026This week on the Orlando Insider podcast we've got three stories from Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando — a Universal ride closing months ahead of schedule, a much-missed Disney attraction finally getting a return date, and a warning for anyone planning an autumn trip.🏎️ Fast & Furious – Supercharged Closing More Than 5 Months Early Universal have brought forward the closing date for Fast & Furious – Supercharged at Universal Studios Florida by over five months. The move clears the way for Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift, the enormous new coaster with a 170-foot vertical spike above CityWalk arriving in 2027. If the current ride is on your list, your window just got a lot shorter — we explain what's happening and why.✏️ The Magic of Disney Animation Opens 14th September at Hollywood Studios The much-missed animation experience is officially returning to Disney's Hollywood Studios on 14th September 2026. The original closed back in 2015 and left a real gap for anyone who loved seeing how Disney films are actually made. We look at what's coming back, and why Hollywood Studios has quietly become one of the strongest parks at Walt Disney World right now.🎃 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Is Already Selling Out Opening night on 7th August has sold out, along with 18th August and 13th October — and we're only in July. With the Boo-To-You parade, the Sanderson Sisters, trick-or-treating throughout Magic Kingdom, Captain Jack Sparrow's new Adventureland show and Stitch's Tomorrowland dance party, this year's line-up is one of the strongest in years. If it's on your list for autumn, don't leave it.Planning a Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando holiday from the UK? Your Orlando holiday shouldn't feel like homework.
