This week on **Remy’s Roundtable: The Florida Theme Park Podcast**, we’re diving into the biggest announcements and reveals from **D23**, with a special focus on everything coming to Florida’s theme parks.

We break down the future of **Magic Kingdom**, including the official confirmation of **Villains Land**, featuring a Maleficent-themed coaster and a dark ride centered around the Evil Queen and Disney’s most infamous villains. We also explore **Piston Peak National Park**, the new Cars-themed land coming to Frontierland, including its two attractions and the introduction of Ranger J. Audubon Woodlore.

Over at **EPCOT**, we discuss the upcoming changes to **Spaceship Earth** and the return of **Dream Finder and Figment** in the refreshed Journey Into Imagination. At **Hollywood Studios**, we take a look at the upcoming **Monstropolis** land, while **Animal Kingdom** gets a major expansion with the new **Tropical Americas** land, featuring Indiana Jones and an Encanto attraction. We also talk about the long-awaited confirmation that the legendary **Expedition Everest Yeti** is finally being repaired.

D23 wasn’t just about the parks. We also cover the latest announcements from **Pixar, Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Disney+, and Disney Channel**, including *Incredibles 3*, *Coco 2*, *Lilo & Stitch 2*, *Tangled*, *Ice Age: Boiling Point*, *The Simpsons Movie 2*, *Avengers: Doomsday*, *Star Wars: Starfighter*, *Percy Jackson* Season 3, *Vision Quest*, *Ahsoka* Season 2, and the upcoming **Oswald the Lucky Rabbit** series.

Then we go deep into **Kingdom Hearts 4**, including its late-2027 release window, the confirmation of a **Coco** world, new playable characters, returning locations, and what the upcoming Kingdom Hearts anime could mean for the franchise.

For **Ride of the Week**, we travel back in time to **Magic Kingdom’s Skyway**, exploring the history, technology, capacity, ride experience, cost, and the reason both hosts gave this classic attraction a **4 out of 5**.

Finally, it’s time for **Mike’s Munchies**, as we visit **The Kitchen at Hard Rock Hotel**. We review several menu items, including the Smokin’ Mamacita, flatbread piccata, seared scallops, short rib pasta, and the massive Kitchen Sink dessert. With an overall rating of **4.65 out of 5**, we discuss whether the experience is worth the price—and how much a Universal employee discount can change the final bill.

**Plus:** SeaWorld seasonal event updates, theme park discussion, opinions, and plenty of conversation about what these announcements mean for the future of Florida’s theme park industry.
