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.
There are ALL kinds of changes happening around Disney World, but one in particular caught our eye recently.
