Over the past year, Disney has been doing A LOT of construction on new attractions, restaurants, resorts, and even shops in preparation for the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary.

We’ve been bringing you a look at all of the progress week by and week and now it’s time to check in on it all once again. And, it’s looking like quite a few things are just about ready for the big party that will kick off on October 1st!
Disney’s Fastpass+ service is no longer in place, but there’s a NEW Fastpass+ replacement coming soon to Disney World called Disney Genie+. If you miss strolling through the Fastpass line to board your favorite attraction, you might be interested in paying for Disney Genie+, which will give guests access to over 40 attractions in Disney World.

As we wait for Disney Genie to take over, we’ve been keeping our eyes out for new Lightning Lane signage around the parks. We put together a handy little list of ALL the Disney attractions that will use Lightning Lanes (AKA the old Fastpass lane).
We’re just a little obsessed with finding amazing hidden Mickeys around the Disney parks.
We Spot a Hidden Mickey
Whether it’s on a ride, in some merchandise, or just in the parks somewhere, hidden-Mickey-hunting has become one of our favorite hobbies. But now we’ve taken that to an entirely. new. level. We captured a hidden Mickey on camera that will quite possibly never appear again in the Disney World parks.

And Disney has been giving us a BUNCH of details over the past several months! We know when it’s going to open (roughly), what some of the food will look like, what the itinerary might include, and got more information about pricing. We’re getting really excite about this galactic adventure, and with all of the information we’ve gotten so far, we wanted to make sure nothing gets left behind! So, we compiled a list of 4 things you forgot were coming to the Star Wars Galatic Starcruiser.
