Disney announced five major changes coming to Walt Disney World Resort in 2024 that are sure to make your visit easier!

2024 Reservations will be available for booking on May 31, 2023! 

Dining Plan Bon Appetit!

We are THRILLED to announce that the fan favorite DINING PLAN IS RETURNING IN 2024 as an option to add on to resort packages with stays beginning January 9, 2024! These pre-paid dining plans offer convenience, peace of mind and money savings. There will be two options: quick service dining plan and table service dining plan. All dining plans will include one snack and the famous refillable mug! More details to follow! 

Park Pass Reservations

Beginning January 9, 2024, theme park reservations will no longer be required for date-based tickets. This is news to our magical ears! Date-based tickets are the tickets included in packages for resort guests. For other admission types, including non-dated tickets, theme park reservations may be required. 

Introducing “Good-to-Go Days”

In 2024, Disney will offer select days on which Annual Passholders may visit Walt Disney World theme parks without needing a park reservation. These Good-to-Go Days will be introduced on an ongoing basis. This will be in addition to the recent update which offers Passholders the opportunity to visit the theme parks after 2 pm without needing a park reservation, except on Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom Park.

Extended Theme Park Hours Continue

Who doesn’t love entering the park before posted opening or staying later than everyone else? Think - perfect picture in front of Cinderella’s Castle or in Galaxy’s Edge! This great benefit gives Guests a jump start on their day. All Disney resort Guests will continue to be able to enter the parks early day. Guests at deluxe resorts and deluxe villas will continue to receive extended evening hours!
