food IS a theme park
Disney just dropped a TON of news on us, and we’re still reeling!
Hi Stitch!
We got official opening dates for The Little Mermaid: A Musical Adventure AND Disney Villains Unfairly Ever After in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and they’ve also just made an announcement that Disney World hotel guests will love. During Early Entry this summer, you’ll be able to meet some of your favorite Disney characters EARLIER than ever before!
We have some BIG updates for you about changes coming to Disney World in 2024.
Cinderella Castle
In the last few years, Disney has made some major decisions — and they haven’t all been popular. From introducing a paid version of FastPass to requiring Park Pass Reservations to get into the parks, many Disney guests have had some gripes. Well, it looks like Disney is listening, because next year, lots of things are changing. If you’re planning a trip to Disney World in 2024, we’ve got all the details.
Have you made the switch to MagicBand+ yet?
MagicBand+
They’re actually a lot of fun and we’ve enjoyed playing with them in the parks — the Star Wars bounty hunter game is a blast and we love the lights and haptic feedback we’ve seen on rides, during nighttime shows, and more. Yes, these new MagicBand+ designs are a little pricier than the classic MagicBand, but did you know you may qualify to get one at a discount?
Want to get a chance to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance with fewer crowds? Or hoping to hop on Slinky Dog Dash without as many people around? Your chance is coming up!
Tower of Terror
Those staying at Disney World Deluxe Hotels or Deluxe Villas can take advantage of the special Extended Evening Hours perk in Disney World, which gives them extra time in select parks on certain evenings. This perk is usually available at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, though it was offered just ONCE at Hollywood Studios. Well, if you’ve been hoping that it would be offered at Disney’s Hollywood Studios again…your wish has come true!
MagicBand+ is proving to be so popular in Disney World that it’s causing some delivery issues.
MagicBand+
MagicBand+ is the new version of the MagicBand technology in Disney World. While it can do the things a regular MagicBand can do, it can also interact with the 50th Anniversary statues, unlock a special Star Wars scavenger hunt, and more. But if you ordered a MagicBand+ to be sent to your home ahead of your upcoming Disney World hotel stay, you might encounter a problem.
MagicBands may not be free for Disney World Resort hotel guests or Annual Passholders anymore, but there are still LOTS of MagicBands that can be purchased!
Lots of MagicBands to Pick From!
We’ve seen MagicBands featuring retro Disney designs, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and more. Now, select guests have the chance to get 2 fun MagicBand designs at a discount!
MagicBands are a convenient way for Disney World guests to enter the Disney Parks, unlock Disney World Resort hotel rooms, pay for things, and more.
MagicBands
MagicBands have had some price increases, and they’re no longer complimentary. So when there’s an opportunity to save some money on a new MagicBand, our ears perk up. If you have an upcoming Disney World hotel reservation or have an Annual Pass, you might want to see how to save up to $15 on these new MagicBands!
Disney is no longer sending out free MagicBands to its resort guests. But Disney guests can still buy a whole BUNCH of MagicBand designs online and in the parks.
Glittery MagicBands
Maybe you’d love a new MagicBand but you don’t want to pay full price. Well, if you’re an Annual Passholder or Disney Resort Guest, you can snag some cool MagicBands at a DISCOUNT before your next trip! And 5 NEW designs just became available for you to grab, including the glittery MagicBands we found in the parks not too long ago!
