We’ve gotten a few indications about what Disneyland’s new passholder program could look like, although no new membership has been announced yet.

To prep for this, we’ve seen Cast Members INSIDE Disneyland— and now, we’ve spotted more signs that the parks are getting ready to welcome us back!

And, if you’re sitting there reading this like “I can’t make it to EPCOT this year 😔 hold your tears back because TONS of Flower and Garden Festival merchandise just landed online!
