HUGE news from Disney today about 2024 Walt Disney World trips!

Bookings for WDW trips in 2024 will open on May 31! If you're thinking of a Disney World trip in 2024, I'd love to help you book and plan! Just let me know!

Okay, so first big change for 2024, for date-based tickets starting January 9, 2024, no more park reservations! These are the main type of tickets Disney sells for WDW, so this will make planning your trip much simpler!

Second, Disney is introducing 'Good-to-go' days where cast members and annual passholders can enter the parks without a park reservation.

Third, and this is again, HUGE - the Disney Dining plan is returning in January 2024! These are a great way to help budget for your trip. Dining can be a big expense, and the Disney Dining plan lets you prepay for dining so you know exactly how much you're spending on food.

Fourth, Disney will of course continue to offer early entry for every park everyday at WDW in 2024 for on-site guests. Currently this is 30 minutes before park opening. They'll also continue to offer extended evening hours at certain parks for Deluxe resort guests.

Finally, Disney knows that there needs to be changes to Genie+, and they've announced that there are changes coming. They say their goal is to allow guests to spend less time planning in the parks and more time enjoying the parks. Maybe it's the return of pre-booking Lightning Lanes like we did with FASTPASS+? We'll have to wait and see...

Today I want to highlight one of the coolest lands in Disney's Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World: Pandora - The World of Avatar.

Even if you haven't seen the Avatar movies, or aren't a fan, Pandora is still an incredible experience. Disney really brings Pandora to life with Flight of Passage where you can soar on the back of a banshee and feel the wind in your hair. And Navi River Journey is a peaceful boat ride through the glowing bioluminescent forest. Both are incredibly beautiful and unique experiences, and Flight of Passage is often at the top of everyone's list of favorite rides.

Pandora also features one of the best places to eat in all of Walt Disney World. Satu'li Canteen is where you can enjoy delicious dishes inspired by Pandora's unique flavors, and you can customize your meal, choosing noodles, rice or potatoes as well as difference choices of meat and sauces. It is truly fantastic and just like Pandora itself, one of the more unique places to eat in the parks.

One thing I should mention is that Disney has also announced that Disneyland will be receiving their own Avatar experience. We don't know exactly what that will be yet, but stay tuned for more announcements about that!

If you would like to check out the truly unique and beautiful Pandora at Walt Disney World, please let me help you get back to the magic of Disney! Send me a message or email today!

What is your favorite Disney ride or attraction?

In California Adventure, I love Radiator Springs Racers. In Galaxy's Edge, Rise of the Resistance is incredible. Flight of Passage in Animal Kingdom takes my number two spot. But my number one, most favorite Disney ride is Tower of Terror.

Okay, granted, the Twilight Zone theming and preshow video is a bit cheesy, but the ride itself is so much fun. And it's not just one drop like it used to be originally. Now, the elevator moves up at different intervals and you drop more than once! It's definitely a thrilling ride every time!

So let me know what your favorite ride is and why it's your favorite.

And if you'd like to get back to the magic of Disney and experience that favorite ride again, let me know and I'd be happy to help you plan and book your trip!

Hi everyone! This is Brent. I'm diving in and starting my own little Disney travel agency called Back to the Magic. I've had a blast on my own Disney trips in the past and decided I wanted to help other people plan their own Disney trips. I do my best to keep up on all the latest Disney travel news, so I can answer questions you might have about Disney trips and can get you booked on your own Disney trip. I really love planning and booking trips for Disney World in Florida, but can also do Disneyland too, of course. I can book for Aulani in Hawaii and Disney Cruise Line as well.

Using me to book your trip is totally FREE! You pay the same amount whether you use me or book by yourself with Disney. Disney just pays me a commission if you book with me, so there is no extra cost to you if you would like me to help plan and book your trip.

So please, let me know if you're interested in a Disney trip. Even if you're just thinking about one far off in the future, let me know, and I can get you a quote and answer any questions you might have.
