food IS a theme park
We hope you’re ready for big changes this year because Disney World will look a LOT different in 2024.
Magic Kingdom
In January alone, the Disney Dining Plan returned, all-day park hopping is back, and Park Pass reservations have gone away for most guests. With park hopping and Park Pass rules changing, how you book Virtual Queues, Individual Lightning Lane selections, and Genie+ selections looks a little different as well. Here’s what you need to know.
It’s already time to talk about — *rubs eyes* — 2024?!?!
EPCOT
We have a couple of questions. How did we get here? And why does time move so strangely now? In all seriousness, Disney World saw so many changes in 2023 with the new Jollywood Nights event, a huge leap in the EPCOT transformation construction, and TRON Lightcycle /Run opening (yes, that was this year people!). Now we need to start looking ahead into the exciting things happening at the parks in 2024, so here are some major changes coming to Disney World in January!
2024 is shaping up to be a BIG year for Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
New restaurants and rides will be opening, the Disney Dining Plan is coming back, park passes are going away, and all-day park hopping is returning! It’s a lot of change in a short amount of time, and if you’re visiting Disney World for the first time in a while you’re probably trying to decide just what your plan of attack should be. When it comes to park hopping, we think we’ve figured out the BEST order to do it — and no, we will not be taking any questions.
It’s nearly 2024, and that means all our 2024 Disney trips are about to be that much closer.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
If you haven’t planned your trip yet, don’t panic! There’s still plenty of time to do so, and some people who live close by love to plan trips that are only a few weeks away. But before you plan your trip, there are a few big decisions you need to make.
Are you ready for all the BIG changes coming to Disney World?
EPCOT
Lots of things are changing in the parks from now through next year. EPCOT’s transformation is set to be complete by the end of 2023 and January brings about some important logistical changes. The way you do things in the parks will change significantly on January 9th. But what does that actually mean for you?
We love park hopping. Yes, we do! We love park hopping. How about you?
Getting ready to park hop in Disney World
Thanks to the Park Pass Reservation system, park hopping has looked different than it used to. The one rule that has stuck around for years about park hopping is that you can’t enter your second park until you’ve scanned into your first park of the day, and that you can’t hop until 2PM. But soon, these rules will be changing! Starting January 9th, all-day park hopping is returning for most guests. To get ready for its return, let’s go over 15 of the best tips for park hopping in Disney World.
It’s no secret that things are about to change a lot in Disney World in 2024.
EPCOT
We know that certain attractions are getting makeovers this coming year, and we have to admit that we’re nervous about some of them. However, there are tons of new additions we CANNOT WAIT to see, and we thought we’d do a quick recap to refresh your mind!
The holiday season has just begun, and Disney World is already celebrating. But that also means the new year is right around the corner.
Christmas in Magic Kingdom
Disney World is a very popular vacation destination to ring in the new year, and each new calendar year brings lots of news and changes to the parks. If you’re planning a trip for January, one of the (usually) slower times in the parks, here’s why you DON’T want to visit at the beginning of the month.
Disney World went through some major changes after the COVID-19 closures of 2020.
Magic Kingdom
From social distancing to Park Pass Reservations, the parks looked different once they reopened, and there were plenty of new rules in place for us all to get used to. One rule that has stuck around for years is the park hopping rule — that you can’t enter your second park until you’ve scanned into your first park of the day, and that you can’t hop until 2PM. But soon, these rules will be changing! Starting January 9th, all-day park hopping is returning for most guests. To prepare, let’s talk about what you might have forgotten about this perk.
Is there a little something that always makes you frustrated in Disney World?
Walt Disney World
Yes, we know that we go to Disney World to get AWAY from frustrating things, but that’s not to say that we don’t find some things annoying. We understand if people have problems with not having access to the dining plan, but hey, at least that’s finally coming back in 2024. There is at least ONE thing, though, that almost everyone who visits Disney World is universally frustrated about.
