- Casey’s Corner in the Magic Kingdom now has an enlarged outdoor seating area. With a refurbished indoor and outdoor area, I am sure we will see more guests enjoying a good ole’ American Hot Dog and fries. I think the area looks great!
- Magic Kingdom’s Main Street hub is in the beginning stages of it’s refurbishment to increase the area for less congestion, especially during and after nighttime shows. Construction walls are currently in place along large sections of the hub.
- Have you been a guest at Tomorrow Land Terrace Wishes Dessert Party? Now Epcot, World Showcase has a new dessert party during Illuminations. In a special viewing area you can dine on delicious desserts from select countries and partake in sparkling wines as well as lemonade, teas and coffee. The cost is $49.00 per adult and $29.00 per child. This sounds like a lovely affair 🙂
- Annual Passholders are now able to receive their MagicBands. This will give them the ability to make advanced FastPass+ reservations.
“To get your MagicBand, link your pass in ‘My Disney Experience’ and you will see an option to customize MagicBands. Choose a color and name to be printed on the band, and it will be shipped in late March, arriving in 7 to 10 days.
The MagicBand package will include the MagicBand, a discount card, and an Annual Passholder exclusive MagicSlider to customize the band. The discount card is either gold or black, with only gold indicating that parking is included. To validate parking, guests can either present a MagicBand, RFID pass, or the gold discount card. To obtain discounts on merchandise or dining, passholders will need to present either the discount card with photo ID, or the actual Annual Pass and photo ID. Ultimately, the MagicBands or RFID media will allow access to discounts and the discount card will not be required.
Unfortunately MagicBands are only being shipped to within the USA at this time, and no local pickup of MagicBands is available at Walt Disney World for passholders. For international guests with no USA delivery address, the only option is to continue to use the RFID ticket.”

If you are an Annual Passholder and not staying at a WDW Resort, your window to reserve FastPass+ has been lessened to 30 days.
“Passholders can now make FastPass+ reservations up to 30 days in advance, and can hold up to 7 days of FastPass+ reservations across a 30 day rolling window.
For a Passholder staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, the window remains at 60 days in advance of check-in, where FastPass+ reservations can be held for 7 days or the length of the hotel stay.
If you have already made FastPass+ reservations under the 60 day policy, those selections will still be honored unless you choose to cancel them.
Passholders not staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel will not be able to add charging privileges on their MagicBands.”

- An additional refurbished Liberty Square walkway has opened to further alleviate overcrowding between Liberty Square and Frontierland.
And Last But Certainly Not Least …….
- In April our Frozen Princesses, Anna and Elsa will be relocated to Fairytale Hall in the Magic Kingdom! Because of their immense popularity World Showcase has experienced a large amount of congestion, making it increasingly difficult to move through the area. FastPass+ is available at Fairytale Hall, so advanced reservations can be made. April 20th is their projected debut.
