Disney World changes that frequent visitors prefer
Here are the top changes that most say are for the better:
Parks Ticket system
The Disney Park Pass Reservation System launch is the first of the Disney World changes that many guests appreciate. This method helped limit capacity when the parks initially opened.
However, you will still have to be ready for the crowds, even with a bigger capacity. Some guests find the park passes’ “planning” component quite impressive. Moreover, each park has a daily cap on the entry number of tourists is also a good thing.
Waiting List for Walk-Ins
When it comes to eating hacks, the introduction of the Walk-Up Waitlist came after the reopening. Go to the Disney app’s dining reservation section and select “Now” as the time allows you to check last-minute availability for dine-in restaurants.
Lightning Lane Selections by Individual
Several guests state they do not mind the new Genie+ system. However, some are notably pointing out the Individual Lightning Lane Selections. You can pay to utilize Lightning Lane once for these more popular rides. It’s a popular choice for those who want to ride Rise of the Resistance but don’t want to wait in line for several hours.
Ordering on the Go
Even though mobile ordering had existed long before the parks reopened, it took off in 2020. It was previously an optional bonus for guests who wished to skip the wait. However, when the parks reopened, they became mandatory at quick-service restaurants in most cases. Therefore, Disney began providing it at a much larger number of restaurants than previously, which is good news!
Cavalcades
The cavalcades that the guests enjoyed after the park’s reopening were another widespread change! They’re a terrific opportunity to see more Disney characters without hunting out meet-and-greets across the park.
Moreover, some Disney fans even prefer them over the parade. They’re also an excellent addition to non-parade parks, notably Animal Kingdom. Here, they’re easy to detect and pass by regularly.
Disney World changes lead to better security
Finally, we must add another significant improvement: park security! Before COVID, you had to go through a thorough bag check when entering the Disney World theme parks. Moreover, queues mainly were very long during busy periods of the day.
Luckily, after the reopening of the parks, Disney authorities installed new scanners. This is to allow people to stroll through. If the scanner sounds, you’ll be escorted to the side for a thorough bag check. Otherwise, you’re free to continue on your way. It’s that easy, and it’s that safe too!
Final thoughts
These were some aspects that Disney World lovers are currently liking and accepting. If you too are a frequent visitor, let us know what you think is working or not working for you.
