Two Game-changing Disney Announcements for December

By 1 Comment

It is hard to believe that we are under two months away from December.

December is almost here!

It has been a busy year for Disney World and the Walt Disney Company in general. Within this year, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the new Country Bear Jamboree opened in Magic Kingdom. The EPCOT Transformation was officially marked complete when CommuniCore Hall and Plaza opened. At D23, we got the announcement that eight new rides would make their way to Disney World. Genie+ changed to Lightning Lane Multi-Pass, and Individual Lightning Lane changed to Lightning Lane Single Pass at both Disney World and Disneyland. We even got word that four more cruise ships would be joining the Disney Cruise Line line-up, making for a total of 13 ships in the fleet by 2031. It is crazy to look back on all that happened this year, but there is still more to come! Get ready for these two game-changers that will be coming this December!
