NEW Changes to Make Your WDW Vacation Easier

Disney announced some major changes recently to help improve guest’s experiences at Walt Disney World. These three changes will definitely streamline your time at the parks and help you waste less time waiting in a line…

 

New WDW Changes to Make Your Vacation Easier

  • The My Disney Experience App just added accurate character meet and greet information that includes location and wait times. Character hunting will be easier than ever! Just click on the new character tab to see what characters are available for that particular day. If a character is available in multiple spots, you just pick the location that you are interested in. Be sure that your app is updated prior to your vacation!

  • Starting on August 28th, Disney will provide direct bus service from the parks to Disney Springs from 4pm to 11pm each day. Guests have complained about having to make the trek to a resort, in order to visit the popular night time destination. But now it will be easier for you to experience all of the new shopping, dining and entertainment options that Disney Springs has to offer. Buses will only provide transportation back to the resorts though.

  • New enhancements to the Fast Pass Plus system will provide more flexibility to guests. You can now chose individual FP+ experiences and times. Guests no longer need to make all selections for the same day at the same time. You can also pick less than 3 FP+ experiences, if desired. Done with your 3 FP+ selections? No problem! Guests can now reserve additional experiences through the My Disney Experience app or at a park kiosk.

  1. Wow - there are so many cool new features to WDW and I am uber impressed! I havent been in ages but it looks so fun that I wish I could hop over there right now!

  2. Kim, I read your posts with great excitement since we will be going to WDW in December. I can't wait to hear about what you know about the Christmas season!

  3. How cool! These features will make your Disney experience more fun and enjoyable. We're planning to go next year.

  4. I love that more and more attractions have apps to help people make the most of their trips. These changes sounds fab x

  5. The new addition to the app for character meeting is a great idea! I know that's a main concern of most visitors is seeing the characters.

  6. I seriously can't wait to go visit! Your post has reminded me how fun it's going to be to take the kids!

  7. These are awesome to know about, especially the princesses! I'm so happy they added that!

  9. Ooooo what great changes!!!! Anything to help Make our trips more magical is a total win to me!

  10. These sound like great features! I especially like the meet and greet info. I do wish that the characters wandered around the parks like they used to though...that was one of my favorite things about Disney when I was growing up!

  11. These are some really convenient adjustments. I think I would enjoy the meet and greet with the characters. It's nice not to have to look for them around the park.

  12. Wow! I've never been to Disney world before but am fortunate to live right next to Disneyland in California. I wonder if they will implement these there as well.

  13. I think the Fast Pass is one of the best new features to any Disney experience. We had a great time while we visited in April, and were able to go on some many rides.

  14. It has been so long since we have been to WDW but I love that they have new features for the Fast Pass. They were already helpful.
