Key Disney Park Updates for 2024

1. Date-Based Tickets

Starting next year, guests who purchase date-based tickets (including standard tickets) will no longer be required to select a specific date at the time of purchase. This added flexibility means visitors can plan their trips with greater freedom. For current ticket options and tips, see the Disney Vacation Club checklist.

2. Good-to-Go Days for Annual Passholders and Select Members

Disney is introducing "good-to-go" days for annual passholders and eligible members. These new days will allow many passholders and DVC members to visit the parks without making a reservation, making spontaneous visits much easier.

3. Disney Dining Plans Return

Disney dining plans will make a long-awaited comeback, available for guests staying at Disney hotels and purchasing vacation packages. These dining plans provide prepaid meal options and exclusive access to participating restaurants across the parks and resorts. Learn more about resort packages at DVC Sales or visit Disney’s dining information page.

4. Extended Park Time for Resort Guests

Disney Resort Hotel guests will continue to enjoy early entry and extended evening hours at all four theme parks. This benefit gives guests extra time to explore, experience popular attractions, and make the most of their vacation. For recommended resorts, browse DVC resort options like Bay Lake Tower or Beach Club Villas.

5. Enhanced Disney Genie+ and Lightning Lane Experiences

Disney Genie+ and Lightning Lane services will be improved to simplify planning and enhance convenience for guests.
