With Hong Kong Disneyland being situated the closest to the Little Red Dot, it’s no surprise that hoards of Singaporeans flock there once school’s out to spend a day or 2 there. Pretty soon, you might see even more families swinging by the Happiest Place On Earth, as there are plans to expand the park to include new Marvel and Pixar-themed zones.
With characters from fan-favourite movies like Spider-Man and Inside Out potentially making an appearance, here’s all we know about Hong Kong Disneyland’s future inclusions to make your visits ever so magical.

In case you’ve not heard yet, Hong Kong Disneyland is gearing up to unveil 2 new themed expansions within its 275,000sqm premises. Ahead of the park’s 20th anniversary happening in the second half of the year, it was recently announced that a Pixar-themed area expansion is in the works, and will be located right beside the World of Frozen zone.

Right now, mum’s the word when it comes to other details regarding this highly anticipated addition to the amusement park; there isn’t even an official opening date announced yet. However, visitors can look forward to hopping on rides that feature popular Pixar characters, such as the cast of emotions from Inside Out, as well as the supers from The Incredibles.
Last August, another area expansion was also announced for the park’s Marvel-themed zone, which currently plays host to Ant-Man and Iron Man-inspired attractions. Again, we’re not sure when it’ll open its doors to the public, but what we can confirm is that your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man will be taking centre stage here.

When this new area expansion is fully open, park-goers can get in on the action by visiting the Stark Expo, where the Avengers are showcasing their latest technologies and inventions. Peter Parker, AKA Spider-Man, will be your host during your stay, but his presence attracts one of his most formidable foes, and he’ll definitely appreciate a helping hand with defeating his adversary.
Details on the rides and attractions in this new Marvel-themed zone are scarce, but do expect new retail shops and eateries to pop up alongside Spidey when he finally pays a visit.
If you’ve not been to Hong Kong Disneyland in a hot minute, perhaps this is your cue to plan a trip to see what you’ve missed and then some. These new themed areas are definitely not going to be up and running by the time the March holidays swing around, but come December, who knows?
In the meantime, here are some things to do in sunny Singapore:
