If you’re heading to the parks soon, you’ve probably got a hefty to-do list with all the new additions. Just this year, we’ve had TRON Lightcycle / Run open at Magic Kingdom, Roundup Rodeo BBQ open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and the return of the popular Happily Ever After fireworks show. But besides all these things that have been added…there are some things that are going AWAY! We’re sharing the list of things you’ll do in Disney World for the LAST TIME in 2023.
Park Pass Reservations have been a controversial topic for quite some time.

The system was introduced as a way to manage capacity in the parks following the pandemic closures of 2020, and while it has gone through a few changes since then, it’s still around today. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been everyone’s cup of tea — it even inspired a lawsuit among unhappy Annual Passholders. Starting in 2024, however, things are changing! Rules on Park Passes will lighten up, making it easier for most guests to visit the parks. However, there are still a few times you will need to snag a reservation, so we’re giving you all the details.
There’s a BIG holiday coming up in Disney World this week.

Yep, we’re talking about the Fourth of July, which will bring some new excitement to Disney World. There will be an addition to EPCOT Forever over in EPCOT to celebrate, and Magic Kingdom will have a SPECIAL patriotic fireworks display. There are also special snacks to check out that were made especially for the holiday. However, if you wanted to BE in Magic Kingdom for the fourth, we’ve got some bad news.

A LOT has changed in Disney World in the past few years, but here’s the thing — even MORE changes are on the way.
Even MORE big changes are coming to Disney World
So if you’re planning a trip to Disney World in 2024, you might be a little confused about everything that’s changing (and it IS a lot). But don’t worry — because we’re going to tell you exactly HOW things are going to change for you when you make that trip.
Listen, we know you’ve probably heard it all before.

There are plenty of tips, tricks, hacks, and more out there to help you have the best Disney World trip possible. We know — we sort of wrote the book on it. But what about rules you might need to know on your Disney World trip? What makes sense for one visit might not make sense for the next, and if you’re heading to the parks soon — we’re sharing five big rules you need to know.
Ah, 2019. What a time.

Disney+ officially launched. Galaxy’s Edge opened in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You could wake up one morning on a whim and head to the parks without (gasp!) a park pass reservation. Can you even remember a time before park pass reservations? Okay, so you have a Disney World trip planned, and you think by now you understand all there is to know about this system. Before you make the mistake of letting your guard down, we have to warn you of a few things that might surprise you on your visit.
Summer has officially arrived in Disney World, and, well, the crowds situation has been…a bit weird.
Are you headed to Disney World this year?
We have also seen a rise in Genie+ prices —Â but nothing like what we saw during Spring Break. Now that summer HAS arrived in Disney World, we’ve been keeping an eye on park pass reservations. Here’s the thing, though — we usually see park pass reservations completely sell out AT LEAST in and around the 4th of July, but this summer — well, something is different.Â
Holidays at Disney World typically draw in big crowds and of course, high wait times. Right? Apparently that isn’t always the case!
Memorial Day MK crowds
With yesterday being Memorial Day, we were almost certain that we could expect tons of people crowding the parks and insane wait times since many had the day off from work. However, we were pleasantly surprised with relatively low crowds and wait times, considering the fact that it was a holiday. If only we knew the storm that was coming.
All aboard the Disney World news train! We recently learned some major updates about changes coming to the parks soon, including park passes, hotel perks, and the Disney Dining Plan!
Cinderella Castle
And, while we certainly don’t want to be accused of being greedy — we’re hoping Disney isn’t done dropping major news just yet. The second quarter Walt Disney Company earnings call is scheduled for May 10th, and there’s just one more announcement we’re dreaming Disney will make tomorrow.
