At the D23 Expo 2019 today, Disney announced plans for its first-ever attraction inspired by Walt Disney’s 1960 classic Mary Poppins, part of the Walt Disney World Resort’s extensive Epcot transformation.
In World Showcase, Epcot will welcome the attraction inspired by Mary Poppins in Cherry Tree Lane, which will join the United Kingdom pavilion as an entirely new neighborhood!
To help make the announcement, several dancers came out and performed a “Step In Time” dance number on stage – including Disney legend Dick Van Dyke, who is 93 years young and still has moves.
Very few details were offered, but a description released by Disney says guests will “step in time down Cherry Tree Lane past Admiral Boom’s house, then enter Number 17, home of the Banks family, where your adventure will begin.”
