Disney reveals new details about much-anticipated Avatar World – and one beloved ride is set to close
DISNEYLAND Resort has revealed more details about two upcoming attractions based around Avatar and Pixar's Coco. However, the opening of the 6 An Avatar-themed attraction will open in Disneyland Resort Credit: 20th Century Studios 6 It's believed the Avatar attraction will have a boat ride Credit: 20th Century Studios It's no secret that Disney is opening an Avatar destination and a Coco-themed ride in California - but now they've revealed where they will be in the park. The Avatar destination will transform part of the Hollywood Backlot area in Disney California Adventure. But there's sad news for some because in order to make room, Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! will close in early 2026. For anyone who's a fan of Monsters Inc., there is a new land opening up at Disney World's Hollywood Studios . Read More on Disney It will have with the first-ever suspended coaster in a Disney Park. As for Avatar, there are official announcements about what will be in the land. But the concept images show a boat ride that looks similar to the Shanghai Disneyland version of Pirates of the Caribbean. It won't be the first Avatar-themed attraction in Disney as Pandora: The World of Avatar land opened at Disney World's Animal Kingdom in 2017. Most read in News Travel But Disney has said that it won't be exactly the same but instead will draw on "inspiration" from the other park. As for the Coco-themed land, this will be built near Paradise Gardens Park and Pixar Pier. First look at new Moana land opening at Disney World 6 There will also be a Coco area and ride Credit: Instagram 6 The music from Coco is set to be a big part of the theme Credit: Disney/Pixar This will mark Coco's is very first Disney Parks attraction at Disneyland's Disney California Adventure, and it will draw inspiration from Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. The attraction will be filled with characters and music will be a big part of the land too. Luckily, this area is mostly not used so nothing will have to close to make room. Construction for Coco is set to begin in Autumn. 6 Renders also reveal a new parking lot and bridge Credit: Instagram There will also be a new parking structure in the resort with 6,000 parking spaces as well as shuttle and rideshare areas.

Inside will be a new racing ride where visitors will drive through the mountains on wild terrain, avoiding geysers and mud holes. Disneyland Paris is going through a transformation too and is adding a whole new area called One of the very first areas to open will be the World of Frozen, and the Kingdom of Arendelle will open in 2026. Disney Adventure World will also feature a new "Lion King" themed area and log flume ride. One Sun Travel Reporter visited 6 Avatar will replace a beloved ride at Disneyland Resort Credit: Instagram

You might think it's Your Friends & Neighbors, but And Just Like That... is the only true aspirational show on TV
Sometime in April a new fantasy dropped: a walk-in wardrobe swish enough for Jon Hamm to want to break into it. Hamm's role as Andrew 'Coop' Cooper, a sacked hedge-fund manager turned neighbourhood burglar, in Your Friends & Neighbors has been a rare source of unalloyed television pleasure this year, with each Friday episode notification from Apple TV+ becoming the starting pistol for the weekend. Still, forget what I said about wardrobes. This dark comedy with a dash of Dynasty might be set in a fictional 'exclusive hamlet' in New York state, but no one in their right mind would actually want to be one of the neighbours in Your Friends & Neighbors. They are, as Coop's conspiratorial voiceover tells us, 'assholes'. It makes for a fun blend of soap, satire and farce, but it's not aspirational, not unless you genuinely fancy being in the market for torn jeans that cost more than monthly rent. READ MORE The now completed, already renewed nine-parter, created by Jonathan Tropper, instead fits into the recent vogue for depicting the ultrawealthy as venal, ludicrous and unhappy, prompting chicken-and-egg questions about which came first, the money or the grasping personality. [ Your Friends & Neighbors: Jon Hamm is hilarious in this riotous, satirical romp Opens in new window ] To be clear, I loved it. Rich people have very funny problems sometimes. Perhaps their greatest flaw is their desire to hang around only with other rich people, which in Your Friends & Neighbors means going to parties organised by your ex-wife's new boyfriend. Westmont Village has those eye-popping American proportions going on but is as oppressive as elite enclaves come. Even the 'keeping up with the Joneses' theme-tune refrain is all pressure, no joy. Yes, how nice to have the time to laze about sharing local arrest gossip in a sauna with four other women wearing matching towels, but how claustrophobic, too. And who really wants to be a member of the sort of stultifying country club that won't stick by you when you're charged with murder? But at least Westmont Village isn't a five-star hotel so suffocating it would put you off the entire concept of holidays. In The White Lotus the lifestyles of the rich and tedious have their own hypnotic quality. I certainly felt as if I was being hypnotised into watching the third season's slow depiction of wellness hell. Never mind the gunfire. It was the forced phone-detoxing and poolside man-pests that were the true horror. That third run reaffirmed my long-held belief that there's never been a massage that hasn't been enlivened by some kind of security emergency. By the finale I felt sorry for the Thailand tourism authorities, who got such a raw deal compared to Taormina, in Sicily, the HBO show's second-season star. And that's the essence of this recent fashion for wealth porn. It's not aspirational lives we're watching, it's aspirational scenery. Maybe the more the real world falls apart, the more audiences – and producers – gravitate towards glimpses of picture-postcard unreality. In Netflix's Sirens , for instance, we're presented with an unnervingly pristine shoreline as the camera follows a perky personal assistant skipping up endless flights of beach steps to the Cliff House. This island mansion has a perfectly positioned swimming pool and grounds so enormous you need a buggy to drive around them. I don't recommend Sirens – it's not so much escapist as a series to escape – though it should be noted that it also possesses some enviably spacious walk-in wardrobe action. To access it, however, you must put up with Julianne Moore being creepy for the best part of five episodes. Never work for someone who might suddenly demand you procure a harp. [ Sirens review: An anaemic White Lotus cover that hits the right notes but has no tune of its own Opens in new window ] Speaking of work, it remains gloriously incidental to the only true aspirational show on television: the Sex and the City spin-off And Just Like That... Carrie Bradshaw, the never-knowingly-underwardrobed Manhattanite played by Sarah Jessica Parker , has rats in her back garden, but her back garden is in a Gramercy Park townhouse, where her new apartment is otherwise shaping up delightfully. Because real estate is no bother to Carrie, she has once again moved on from the rent-controlled studio apartment that Elle Decor has dubbed her 'emotional support brownstone'. [ And Just Like That... Season 3 review: Nostalgia served up like a gift box of premium cupcakes Opens in new window ] The women of And Just Like That... occasionally have to contend with woes such as malfunctioning alarms and demanding podcast producers, but they are radically content, in the main, with being rich. They know their money allows them to enjoy everything from eccentric headwear to ballet. They're free. This seems a good time to revisit remarks made in 2022 by Candace Bushnell , the columnist who inspired the original series, about how much she used to be paid. [ Candace Bushnell at the Ambassador: A fun, girly night out for Sex and the City fans Opens in new window ] In the 1990s she received $5,000 a month for writing the People Are Talking About column for Vogue. The New York Observer, home of Sex and the City, 'paid less', but she could afford that because of Vogue. Before these columns she would 'get an assignment for 3,000 words, $2 per word', which she described as 'failing'. Ah. Failure has never sounded so aspirational.
