The dust has now settled and we’ve gotten comfortable with the new offerings, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the comfortability is widespread. If you’re still wondering how Lightning Lanes work, how they don’t work, and if they’re worth it, allow us to share a little insight.

From classic attractions to budget-friendly tickets, here are three things Boomers won’t see in Disney World ever again.
While open-to-close Disney World days are TOUGH on the body (and sometimes the mind, let’s be honest), you at least know you’ve 100% gotten your money’s worth.

However, some people choose to have split days, where they spend the morning and early afternoon at their hotel or relaxing, and then head into a park later in the day to enjoy the evening.

Staying at a Disney World hotel comes with some pretty good perks!

You can use Disney’s free transportation system. You can get extra time in the parks with Early Entry and Extended Evening Hours. You can also get a free water park ticket this year and sometimes, you can even snag free dining! There are also several ways to upgrade your vacation through your Disney hotel, but some Disney fans just do not think it’s always worth the price to upgrade!
