Although you can’t yet book your 2023 Disney World vacation, that’s changing very soon. Disney just announced the date that 2023 Disney World trips can be officially booked — so it’s time to break out your calendar and start thinking ahead!
If you’re planning a Disney World trip right now, you’ve probably already learned that these vacations are NOT cheap. So you’ll want to make the MOST of your time in the parks! And Disney has some extra perks that just might be able to help you do that.
Magic Kingdom
For Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, the parks introduced Early Theme Park Entry, which was one of the benefits that replaced Extra Magic Hours (which have been canceled). With this benefit, Disney World hotel guests can enter each theme park a half-hour before official park opening. Now, we have some big news about the future of Early Theme Park Entry in Disney World!

Disney Genie+ launched back in October of 2021, but it has since seen several changes!
Lightning Lane at Kilimanjaro Safaris
The paid system replaced Disney’s previously free FastPass program. Now, you have to pay $15 per day, per person to use Genie+, which allows you to make reservations to skip the lines of certain Disney World attractions using the Lightning Lanes. Disney has been making changes periodically to the system, and now, MORE changes are on the way!

You might need to increase your Disney World ticket budget!
And I’m here to pass that wisdom on to YOU before YOUR upcoming Disney World trip, here on DFB Guide.
We love so many things about Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The unique snack offerings, the rides, and of course, the animals!
Rhino in Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life!
While it’s awesome to get to see the animals out in their habitats throughout the day as you make your way through the park, what goes on behind the scenes is often even more interesting. For example, we’ve learned from Disney that lost perfume bottles are actually put to use in Tiger habitats, and now Disney is accessorizing rhinos — yes, REALLY!
Even though it’s only May, we are ready for Halloween!

Back in April, Disney celebrated Halfway to Halloween by releasing special treats, dropping a sneak peek of Halloween merch, and announcing that Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party would be returning to Disney World this year for the first time since 2019 — Eeek! And now, tickets for the event are on sale for all Disney World guests!

You can always find ornaments in Disney World!
No matter what time of year you’re visiting, you can stop into shops like Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Days of Christmas in Disney Springs to stock up on Disney ornaments and decorations and we’ve been seeing A LOT of new ornaments find their way into the parks recently. We’ve seen ones that look like Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, Under The Sea: Journey of The Little Mermaid, and more! And, Disney isn’t done yet — now there’s ANOTHER Disney World hotel ornament available!
