If there’s one thing we’ve learned during our decades of Disney World experience, it’s that things are CONSTANTLY changing! On the plus side, that means there are typically plenty of new and exciting things to do, even if you’ve been to the parks hundreds of times. But, it also sometimes means that even some tried-and-true planning traditions need to evolve with the changes!
