First, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad opens on May 3rd after being closed for OVER a year (and it’s got some HUGE changes). Then, V.I.Passholder Days have kicked off, which means Disney World Annual Passholders can get a new freebie magnet, relax in a new lounge, get some increased discounts, and so much more. May the 4th will even bring some special snacks. But, before all that, Disney World restaurants had some changes this week we need to tell you about.

We’re still about a year away from the opening of Disney World’s newest hotel, Lakeshore Lodge, as it’s expected to open in summer 2027, but we recently got invited to a media event that gave us a NEW look at the hotel, thanks to concept art and a boat tour around the construction site.
Lakeshore Lodge
We’ve seen firsthand how much a project can change from what concept art originally shows, so don’t get us wrong, we’re not expecting EVERYTHING in here to make it to the final product, but it does give us an idea of what Disney’s setting its sights on. Based on what we’re seeing, this hotel may be the pinnacle of relaxation, but there are a few things we’re still left a little confused by.
Most people spend months obsessing over every detail of their Disney World trip, from dining reservations booked at the 60-day mark to packing lists reviewed three times over.
Magic Kingdom
But there is one step that consistently gets skipped, and it tends to cause the most unnecessary stress once guests actually walk through the park gates. Before your trip, you need to spend real, dedicated time inside the My Disney Experience app, not just downloading it and assuming you’ll figure it out later. Getting comfortable with the app at home, on your couch, with no crowds and no pressure, is one of the smartest things you can do to set your vacation up for success.
Everyone, the moment is finally here — Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has officially reopened in Magic Kingdom!
The smokestacks are up and running!
