The future is looking BRIGHT! Is anyone else already planning a trip to Disney World in 2024? Between all the big changes coming soon, like the return of the Disney Dining Plan, any-time park hopping rules, and the removal of the park pass reservation system, there’s a lot to look forward to.
So, with all this big news, what’s on our radar? We’re excited about THREE big things in Disney World — let’s talk about it!

Disney World CHANGES!
This news made a LOT of Disney fans happy, and we can’t wait for the change to take effect: guests with date-based Disney World park tickets will no longer need to make park pass reservations beginning on January 9th, 2024!
As a reminder, Disney World’s park pass reservation system was designed so that guests had to reserve a specific park for each day of their Disney World trip. In some cases, the Disney parks would “sell out,” and guests could not enter the park if all the reservations were full. Now, most guests will not need to make a reservation before entering a park!
That said, there are some caveats. If your park tickets are not tied to a date, you will still need to make a park pass reservation. This includes Annual Passholders and Cast Members and a few other types of tickets.

Disney also announced that they plan to simplify the Disney Genie+ experience in 2024. Disney explained, “We have heard from guests that they would like ways to plan with Disney Genie+ service and individual Lightning Lane selections before the day of their park visit, and we want you to know we are working on ways guests may do this for visits in 2024.”
We can’t wait to see if our Genie+ experience improves in the new year.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
We’re almost there! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will open in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in late 2024!
As you may remember, Disney previously announced that Splash Mountain closed to be rethemed into an attraction inspired by the Disney animated film, The Princess and the Frog.
So far, we know a bit about the story, the music, and even the SCENTS Imagineers are working on as part of the reimagining.
