food IS a theme park
Your Disney entertainment needs are about to get a little bit pricier.

We love to bring you fun news and Disney savings updates, but unfortunately, this is not one of those times. A major Disney service is about to get more expensive and we have all the details you need to know.
Disney has been catching some heat for recent changes they’ve made, so is there ANYTHING they’ve done right lately?!
Magic Kingdom
Lofty, “blue sky” plans have been replaced with cheaper, more generic ones, and don’t even get us started on the free FastPass and FastPass+ being replaced with Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes — a new, paid, skip-the-line service. With so much discontent sowing among Disney fans, we have to wonder: Has Disney done anything right these past few years?!
Disney World changes very often, which means you’ll visit the parks one time, and a few months later things have changed.
EPCOT
This can make it hard to plan your vacation, but that’s why we’re here! We keep up with all the latest Disney news so you know what’s happening the next time you visit. If you’re visiting the parks this year, here are some recent changes you NEED to know about!
The Disney World Parks have changed a lot since COVID-19 shut them down.
Magic Kingdom
It’s been nearly four years since the closures, yet some of the major changes put in place still remain. While things like park pass reservation requirements, park hopping restrictions, and lack of the Disney Dining Plan were removed on January 9th, 2024, there are some changes that seem like they’ll be around for a while, and our readers aren’t too happy with some of those. We asked them on Facebook to share with us what they thought the most FRUSTRATING new Disney World change has been, and the answer wasn’t at all surprising.
A couple of huge changes have hit Disney+ recently, so if you haven’t been keeping up with all the news, these updates might take you by surprise!

The streaming service has been a hot topic with Disney executives and investors, so it makes sense that we’re seeing so many changes as Disney pushes to make it profitable by the end of next year. A lot is going on behind the scenes to get the service going in the right direction for profitability, and some of those updates are affecting subscribers’ experiences with the app. [Read more…]
It’s no secret that Disney World is a very busy place.
Main Street USA
Every day, things rotate in and out of the parks, and every day, there are NEW experiences to be had. No Disney day is exactly the same, even if you do the same things each day, and that’s what makes it so special. Part of having new, special experiences means that sometimes, we have to say goodbye.
Disney World is seemingly ever-changing, and with that comes saying goodbye to fan-favorite attractions and dining experiences.
Animal Kingdom
At the 2023 Destination D23 event, Disney shared a few new things that would be coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. For new things to come to Animal Kingdom, it’s likely that we’ll have to say goodbye to some old favorites.
It has been a very interesting year for Disney CEO Bob Iger.

Iger took back the reins as head of The Walt Disney Company last year, and since then, he has been working to get the company’s financial and organizational situation back on track. Many bold changes have been made since then, and Iger’s business decisions have earned him a very prestigious accolade for 2023 — being named one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People for 2023.Â
Disney World is constantly CHANGING.

From changes with Genie+ to adjustments on Annual Passholder perks and park map updates, there’s a lot going on. But now we’ve got some clues about potential other changes coming to Disney World, particularly at its resort hotels. Let’s dive into them right now!
Disney CEO Bob Iger has a couple of very important jobs right now. One is restructuring the Walt Disney Company. Another (and this one’s a biggie) is to find someone good to take his spot. OH, and he needs to do all of this within two years.

Alright, Disney CEO Bob Iger has got to be under some serious pressure right now! Many Disney fans were excited when he returned to the company in November 2022, but keep in mind that Iger only agreed to two years in this role. This only leaves Disney fans and stakeholders to wonder… who is going to take his place?
