Our goal is to help you plan your dream Disney World vacation, and that all starts right here. This episode will walk you through planning a trip in 7 easy steps. After that, we’ll go through some of the other important information you’ll need to know before you go. Consider this a Cliff Notes version for getting started (or even for getting reacquainted) with Disney vacation planning. The past few years have brought many changes – some of which are fairly significant. Here are the ones that are the most important for you to be aware of:
- FastPass+ service is out and Genie+ is in
- Extra Magic Hours (EMHs) have been replaced with a new program called “Early Theme Park Entry“
- Extended Evening Theme Park Hours have been added – but only for onsite guests at Deluxe and Deluxe Villa resorts
- Reservations are required to visit the parks
- Disney’s Magical Express has been discontinued (no more free rides between the airport and your Disney Resort)
- Park hopping can only be done after 2 PM
- Advanced Dining Reservations are made at 60 days out now (instead of 180 days)
- Disney Dining Plan is not currently being sold (although Disney has confirmed it will be back sometime in the future)
