2024 Updates at Walt Disney World Resort

Magic Kingdom
No More Park Reservations!
Starting January 9th, guests who are purchasing a date-based ticket will no longer need to make a park reservation in order to access their favorite theme parks! Since Walt Disney World reopened after closing for COVID-19, guests have needed to make a park reservation before their vacation. Now, that hassle will be gone! This makes it much easier for guests who maybe don’t have an exact idea on what day they want to go to a specific theme park! This update provides much more accessibility and flexibility for guests' magical vacations!

Delicious Dining Plans
For those staying at a Walt Disney World Resort starting January 9th, 2023, Dining Plans will once again be available to purchase! These plans offer a much more relaxed and convenient way of eating your way through your trip! Dining Plans are pre-paid plans that include one quick-service meal, one table-service meal, and one selected snack per person, per night's stay! Guests will also receive one refillable resort mug per person! The two plans that will be available are the Disney Quick Service Plan and the Disney Dining Plan. These plans are extremely helpful and take an enormous amount of stress off your shoulders when you and your family are making your way throughout the theme parks!

Extra Magic Hours
Extra magic hours is a perk provided to guests staying on Walt Disney World Resort property! This amazing opportunity allows guests to enter into the theme parks before they are open to the general public! This is a great way to hop on classic attractions while wait times are at their lowest, or even grab an early breakfast to get your day started! Depending on the resort guests choose to stay at, there will also be extended evening hours provided on select dates at select parks! This allows guests to stay later into the night with less crowds and more opportunity to make more magic on their vacation!
Grand Floridian
With these new updates providing more magic to your vacation, 2024 will be an amazing year for a relaxing, stress free, flexible vacation to Walt Disney World Resort! No more park reservations, the return of dining plan options, and extra magic hours are all reasons why your Disney vacation will be full of enjoyment, celebration, and personalized experiences!
