The Disney World you’ll walk into now is NOT the Disney World you once knew.
Welcome to Walt Disney World
All kinds of changes have hit or will soon hit the parks — from the opening of new rides and attractions to menu changes and more. Recently, we’ve been taking a look at some Disney World permits to see what changes those could signal, and now we’ve got some MORE updates to share so you’ll know what to expect in the future.

Construction has really ramped up this year at Disney World!
