Disney News - May 5-12, 2023



Disney dropped a lot of news this week, but you can find it all recapped here!


Theme Park Reservations

Beginning January 9, 2024, guests with date-based tickets will no longer be required to make theme park reservations before visiting the parks. These tickets are the standard date-based tickets that are offered to guests.


Good to go days

Starting in 2024, Disney is planning to introduce Good-to-go-days. These are select days where Annual Passholders and Cast Members will be able to visit any of the theme parks without first having a park reservation. Dates have not been released but could vary depending on the park as well as the block dates for the various annual passes. We will publish the dates when we have them.


Eat to the Beat Concert Series-The popular concert series of the International Food & Wine Festival will begin on July 28th and continue through November 13th. Beginning July 6th, guests can secure their seats for the performances with the Eat to the Beat Dining Package at select World Showcase restaurants. You can see the lineup before making reservations at https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/entertainment/epcot/food-wine-eat-to-the-beat-concerts/.


Disney Resort Hotel Guests continue to have more park time

For 2024, Disney hotel guests will continue to be able to enjoy more time in the parks. All Disney hotel guests will access to early theme park entry and guests staying at the Deluxe or Deluxe Villa hotels will have extended evening hours. Resort ID and theme park admission is required to use this perk.


Future changes coming to Disney Genie+

Disney is currently working on changing Genie+ and Lightening Lanes so guests will be able to book their selections before their visit. No date has been revealed so more updates to come.


2024 Packages on sale soon

Disney Resort Hotel packages will be available to book starting on May 31, 2023. Starcruiser voyages for 2024 will be released at a later date.


And last but certainly not least…

Disney Dining Plans returns in 2024

The biggest announcement from Disney is that guests who book visits beginning January 9, 2024, will have the option to add one of the Disney Dining Plans to their package. There will be two options available, either the Quick Service or the Dining Plan. The Quick service plan will offer two quick service meals, and one snack per person per day. The Dining Plan will include one table-service, one quick-service, and one snack per person per day. Gratuity is not included. One resort refillable drink mug per person will be included in both plans as well.


Locations where the plans will be accepted will come later.
