In August, the U.S. was removed from the European Union’s list of safe travel destinations. However, in September, the U.S. announced it is planning to ease restrictions for travelers from foreign nations including the U.K. and countries in the European Union as long as they’re fully vaccinated. And now, two other countries are set to have their U.S. travel restrictions lifted soon.

Without further ado, let’s get into what’s new in Magic Kingdom!
One of the ways Disney accommodates guests with special needs is through their Disability Access Service, or DAS for short. Normally, guests would visit Guest Relations in the theme parks in order to sign up for DAS, which allows guests who have difficulty tolerating extended waits in conventional queues the ability to to book return times for rides and attractions.
Guest Relations
We learned earlier this year that Disney would be launching new services to make the DAS experience more convenient, including an online chat feature and the ability to pre-register. Starting today, guests looking to add DAS to their upcoming vacation may do so ahead of their trip online, saving valuable time once in the parks!

He is the heart and soul of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, largely due to Johnny Depp’s portrayal of the character. This lead to a large film franchise and him being added into the famous ride at the Disney parks. But, what if someone else had played Jack Sparrow? Well, that almost happened, and you’ll never guess which famous actor turned down the role!
