food IS a theme park
2024 is coming fast whether you’re ready or not!
Magic Kingdom
If you didn’t know, there are SO MANY NEW things coming to Disney World — new rides, restaurants, and more! That’s all well and good (and we’re stoked for all that), but it’s not going to be all smiles. With all the new things that are coming, there’s bound to be some NEW PROBLEMS that you’ll have to face at Disney World in 2024!
Although things usually quiet down a little in Disney World in January, this upcoming January could be a little different.
Hope you don’t want to see this on January 6th
That’s because a lot of things are RETURNING to Disney World for the first time since 2020 on January 9th. Park pass reservations are going to be a thing of the past for almost all visitors. The Disney Dining Plan is coming back. All-day park hopping is returning. But something interesting is happening before that.

Are you gearing up for a 2024 Disney World trip? Watch out for some huge CHANGES affecting the parks and hotels this year!
Magic Kingdom
The Disney Dining Plan is back, Park Hopping has changed, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Let’s dig into all the BIG CHANGES taking place at Disney World in 2024. [Read more…]
The holiday season is not only in full swing, but the ACTUAL holidays are finally upon us!
The holidays have arrived!
That means that things are getting pretty busy in Disney World. The crowds are arriving and Genie+ has already reached its highest price yet. But that’s not all. If you were planning on visiting Magic Kingdom this week and have not yet made a park pass reservation, well, we’ve got some bad news for you.
Disney World has a lot planned for the new year.
2024 will be an exciting time!
From new restaurants and new rides to the return of the Disney Dining Plan, 2024 is going to be a big one for Disney World. In January, five new rule changes will hit the parks…are you ready for them?
We hope you’re ready for big changes this year because Disney World will look a LOT different in 2024.
Magic Kingdom
In January alone, the Disney Dining Plan returned, all-day park hopping is back, and Park Pass reservations have gone away for most guests. With park hopping and Park Pass rules changing, how you book Virtual Queues, Individual Lightning Lane selections, and Genie+ selections looks a little different as well. Here’s what you need to know.
Being a Disney World Annual Passholder comes with some serious perks.
Tower of Terror
But, one controversial Disney practice is sticking around for passholders in 2024 in most situations — park pass reservations. People with certain date-based tickets will no longer need to make reservations, but that often won’t be the case for passholders. And, that’s why this news we’re bringing you is so important!
2024 will be an exciting time at Disney World — we can just feel it.
2024 will be an exciting time!
One of the MOST exciting things that we’re looking forward to is the removal of park pass reservation requirements for most visitors after January 9th. And, although the updated rules for Annual Passholders aren’t as snazzy, there will be some big changes. Annual Passholders will still need park reservations if they want to visit a park before 2PM (and all day long on Saturdays and Sundays for Magic Kingdom). Further, Disney is introducing something called “Good to Go” days which will appear on your calendar in the Disney World app. These are dates when Passholders WON’T need a park reservation at all — and they’ll start appearing on your calendar starting January 11th on a rolling basis. So… what else do you need to know?
It’s already time to talk about — *rubs eyes* — 2024?!?!
EPCOT
We have a couple of questions. How did we get here? And why does time move so strangely now? In all seriousness, Disney World saw so many changes in 2023 with the new Jollywood Nights event, a huge leap in the EPCOT transformation construction, and TRON Lightcycle /Run opening (yes, that was this year people!). Now we need to start looking ahead into the exciting things happening at the parks in 2024, so here are some major changes coming to Disney World in January!
2024 is going to be a big year in Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
We’re getting a new ride in Magic Kingdom, the Disney Dining Plan is returning, and Park Pass Reservations are going away for most guests. If, like us, you’re excited to finally hit the parks without having to worry about snagging a reservation — we have some news for you about how Virtual Queues will work in the new year!
