Fun and exciting things happen in the parks every single day at Disney World.

Magic Kingdom

It can seem impossible that anything BETTER could soon come, because it’s already super great. However, we’re entering the time of year where we personally believe everything is getting even MORE magical, because we’re looking forward to Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even things that are to come to Disney World in early 2024. This week, Disney hit us with a LOT of announcements, and included some that involve all of those things. If you’re looking forward to what the next few months hold, you’re going to want to listen up.

We’re here to share with you what we believe to be the THREE most exciting announcements that Disney World made this week. Who’s ready to celebrate?

NEW Discounts! 

Disney announced this week that for families with valid hotel reservations between March 3rd to June 30th, 2024, tickets and dining plans will be HALF PRICE for kiddos ages 3-9.

Art of Animation

Yes, that means that in some cases, you can score tickets as low as $50! This is the perfect excuse to plan an early 2024 trip to Disney World, as booking starts on November 14th, 2023. Our friends at Small World Vacations can help you book with this discount, so don’t forget to reach out to them!
