What else: The sitting president hasn’t always had a spiel. What next: The attraction is updated as needed after presidential elections, and the historical topics and narrators for the accompanying film have had multiple incarnations. What: The Hall of Presidents salutes leaders of the free world, animatronic style. Universal: Mardi Gras concerts feature Queen Latifah, DJ Khalid, Luis Fonsi What else: One Dumbo ride goes clockwise the other goes counterclockwise. A twin was manufactured for side-by-side Dumbo action, and an enclosed play area was incorporated into a new queue. In 2012, as part of the new Fantasyland project, the ride was moved from its central location to Storybook Circus. What next: Dumbo’s big adjustment included relocation and cloning. What: Dumbo the Flying Elephant, an up-and-down, round-and-round carousel ride, has had a number of tweaks, including color changes and number of ride vehicles.
What else: Magic Kingdom has dodged, so far, the addition of Blair-ified Disney characters like the ones added in Disneyland’s “small world” in 2008. Last year’s fresh addition was a figure in a wheelchair. What next: There have been rearrangements and rethinking of doll placements.
